Baumalight CXC550 Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter
Heavy-Duty 50" Excavator-Mounted Rotary Brush Cutter
The Baumalight CXC550 is a 50-inch industrial rotary brush cutter designed for mid- to large-range excavators that need serious cutting performance in tight access and heavy vegetation environments. Built with a heavier deck, larger rotor, and stronger bearing support than the smaller CXC models, the CXC550 is engineered to cut thicker brush and small trees while maintaining smooth, controlled operation.
As the rotor spins, three heavy-duty slasher blades strike vegetation multiple times per second, slicing brush and saplings into mulch as the cutter advances. The tri-swing reversible blades chop all the way to ground level, allowing operators to mulch thick brush and even small trees instead of leaving stubble behind. The reversible AR400 steel blades provide long service life and can be flipped or replaced when worn to keep cutting performance high.
A bent-axis piston motor delivers the torque needed to drive the heavy rotor while making efficient use of hydraulic flow and pressure. With multiple motor options available, the CXC550 can be matched precisely to your excavator’s hydraulic system, allowing operators to achieve the best balance of blade speed, torque, and cutting capacity for their machine.
Key Features
Three-blade slasher rotor: Delivers up to 90 slashes per second for aggressive cutting of thick brush and small trees.
Large bearing support: Heavy carburized alloy steel shafts and double-lip oil-sealed bearings provide long life under continuous high-load cutting.
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 keep blades securely mounted during impact cutting.
Heavy-duty rotor construction: One-inch top and bottom plates sandwich the blade assembly for strength and impact resistance.
Reinforced deck structure: 3/8-inch AR400 steel deck with internal support channels provides a rigid cutting platform.
Bent-axis piston motor options: High-efficiency motors convert hydraulic flow into cutting torque and blade speed.
Motor-matched performance: HX550, HX570, and HX590 motors allow the cutter to be tuned to your excavator’s hydraulic output.
Bolt-on excavator adaptor: Provides secure mounting and compatibility across a wide range of excavators.
Free replacement blade set: Each new unit ships with an extra blade set mounted on the shipping skid.
