Brush Mowers 101: Which Type Should I Use? 

Brush Mowers for Clearing Thick Brushes and Saplings 

The primary function of a brush mower revolves around effectively removing dense foliage and young trees known as saplings. Irrespective of the specific type, all brush mowers are equipped to effectively handle thick brush and saplings. However, the manner in which these remnants are dealt with may vary depending on individual preferences. If your objective is solely focused on brush clearance, the OREC rotary blade Samurai Brush Cutter emerges as an exceptional machine.

Its ingenious design incorporates a single rotating blade situated beneath the machinery, effectively knocking down brushes with remarkable ease. Moreover, the presence of a front wheel allows for seamless navigation across uneven terrain without the need to lift the mower deck. These advanced features are undeniably time-saving and significantly reduce physical exertion. 

However, there are instances where it is more advantageous to break down and mulch the brush into finer pieces than what the Samurai brush cutter allows for. In such scenarios, opting for a flail mower would prove to be a superior choice. OREC’s wheeled Cyclone Flail Mower serves this purpose exceptionally well. The flail blades employed in this mower rotate in an upward cutting motion, ensuring that the entire plant is caught and mulched during the cutting process. Apart from their effectiveness in brush cutting, flail blades also possess significant utility in general.

This is particularly relevant when dealing with brush that conceals hidden obstacles such as rocks or tree stumps, of which one may not be aware. These obstructions can inflict severe damage to your machinery. The deployment of flail blades helps minimise this damage, as the flails pivot and effectively absorb and release shock, thereby safeguarding the spindle. 

Brush Mowers for Large Properties 

Clearing brush on a vast property becomes remarkably effortless with the aid of a riding brush mower. While walk-behind brush mowers are ideal for manoeuvring through compact spaces, using them on larger properties can be physically demanding.

The OREC Brush Rover, a riding brush mower, surpasses all expectations by simplifying the process of clearing brush on expansive properties. Equipped with adjustable blade height and flail blades designed for various conditions and brush clearing requirements, the Brush Rover offers unparalleled versatility.

Operating this machine is a breeze, thanks to its hydrostatic drive that provides variable speed control through a single lever. Safety is always a primary concern when clearing brush, which is why the Brush Rover comes with a standard rollover protection system, ensuring the utmost level of safety.

If you have a substantial property that requires brush clearing, the Brush Rover is an exceptional piece of equipment that exceeds all expectations.

Brush Mowers for Tackling Brushes on Slopes 

Addressing the task of brush mowing on slopes requires a distinct approach compared to clearing brush on flat terrain.

Engaging in such work on a sloped landscape, particularly when utilising a heavy machine, demands the utmost caution. To mitigate potential risks, employing a machine like the OREC Cyclone, equipped with tracks instead of wheels, proves immensely advantageous.

This upgraded version of the Cyclone retains its exceptional power and efficiency while incorporating dual tracks. By doing so, it guarantees enhanced traction, thus ensuring safe and effective brush clearing.

Furthermore, the inclusion of dual tracks enables seamless manoeuvrability and precise turns through the utilisation of the brake steering clutch. Consequently, navigating around trees and other obstacles becomes a thing of the past, even on uneven and sloped ground. 

Brush Mowers for Large Properties with Hilly Terrain 

If you find yourself in possession of a vast property with rugged terrain, you might be pondering over the ideal brush mower to handle such a challenge. Well, fret no more, as the solution lies in a riding brush mower equipped with 4WD capabilities.

Enter OREC’s mighty Brush Rover, a machine designed to conquer large properties effortlessly. However, an inquiry lingers: how does it fare on hilly landscapes?

Fortunately, OREC has not only addressed this concern but has also gone above and beyond with the introduction of their latest creation, the 4WD Brush Rover.
