Baumalight CXC542 Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter
Heavy-Duty 42" Excavator-Mounted Rotary Brush Cutter
The Baumalight CXC542 is a 42-inch industrial rotary brush cutter built for mid-range excavators that need serious cutting power without the weight of larger forestry heads.
Designed using the same heavy-duty bearing system as the larger CXC550, the CXC542 uses a lighter frame and rotor to stay compatible with smaller machines while still delivering aggressive brush and small-tree cutting performance.
As the rotor spins, three hardened slasher blades strike vegetation multiple times per second, slicing material into manageable sections instead of tearing or shredding it.
The leading blade tip takes the first bite, immediately followed by the trailing blade, producing up to 80 slashes per second for fast, clean cutting through grass, brush, and saplings.
The reversible AR400 steel blades are designed for long wear life and can be replaced when worn, keeping operating costs under control in daily land-clearing work.
Built around a heavy-duty rotor, large bearing support, and bent-axis piston motor options, the CXC542 is designed to convert hydraulic power into controlled cutting force.
Multiple motor options allow the cutter to be matched precisely to your excavator’s hydraulic flow, ensuring you get the best balance of blade speed, torque, and brush-cutting capacity for your machine.
Key Features
Three-blade slasher rotor: Delivers up to 80 slashes per second for aggressive cutting of brush and small trees.
Heavy-duty bearing support: Carburized alloy steel shafts and large oil-sealed bearings provide long service life.
AR400 reversible blades: Half-inch thick wear-resistant steel blades can be flipped or replaced to extend service life.
Industrial blade mounting system: Grade-8 bolts with castle nuts and cotter pins secure blades under impact loads.
Heavy-duty rotor construction: One-inch top and bottom plates sandwich the blade assembly for strength and rigidity.
Reinforced deck structure: A quarter-inch steel deck with internal bracing withstands heavy cutting abuse.
Bent-axis piston motor options: High-efficiency motors maximize hydraulic flow and torque conversion.
Motor-matched performance: HX530, HX550, and HX570 motors allow precise tuning to your machine.
Bolt-on excavator adaptor: Provides secure mounting across multiple excavator models.
Free replacement blade set: Each new unit ships with an extra blade set secured on the shipping skid.
