  If you feel vibration when running your CID Brush Cutter, it could be due to several reasons. The blades might be missing, loose, damaged, or unbalanced; in this case, replace them with new or re-sharpened and equally balanced blades. Another cause might be a damaged blade mount, which would require replacement. Also, check if the gearbox is loose on the deck; if so, tighten and torque the gearbox mounting bolts, replacing them if damaged. Lastly, ensure the cutting height isn't too low, especially in sandy or rocky soils; if it is, raise the cutter height.

Why do the blades on my CID X-TREME XBC60LF get dull so fast?

  If your CID Brush Cutter blades are getting dull too quickly, it's likely because they are hitting solid objects such as rocks or steel pipes. To prevent this, clear the cutting area of solid objects before operating the cutter, or raise the cutter height to clear exposed rock surfaces.

What to do if my CID X-TREME XBC60LF Brush Cutter bogs down?

  If your CID Brush Cutter bogs down, there are several potential causes. The deck may not be properly leveled, causing material to ball up underneath; consult the leveling instructions. Dull blades can also cause bogging, so remove and sharpen them. Additionally, the ground speed might be too fast, so try slowing down. Alternatively, the cutter speed could be too slow; in this case, raise the engine RPMs or investigate other low oil flow problems.

Why does the hydraulic oil level go down during operation of my CID Brush Cutter?

  If the hydraulic oil level in your CID Brush Cutter goes down during operation, it could be due to a leak at the cutter motor or other plumbing. You should investigate and repair any leaks. It could also be due to leaks in the skid steer hydraulic system, which would also need to be investigated and repaired.

  If the blades on your CID Brush Cutter are breaking, it is likely due to excessive shock loads. To avoid this, be careful to avoid hitting solid objects such as rocks, steel pipes, and large tree stumps.

How to fix blades that don't spin on my CID Brush Cutter?

  If the blades on your CID Brush Cutter do not spin when flow is activated, there are a couple of potential reasons. First, the shear bolt between the motor and gearbox may have sheared. If this is the case, replace it with the proper shear bolt specified for this unit. Another possibility is that the motor or gearbox has failed. To diagnose this, disconnect the drive chain between the motor and gearbox. If the blade holder can be turned by hand, motor failure is suspected. Contact your dealer for further recommendations.
