Introducing the Heavy-Duty Ventrac MZ480: Tackling 3-Inch Diameter Brush with Ease

Written by Koenig Equipment | Mar 4, 2025 9:21:49 PM

We're excited to introduce the newest addition to our Ventrac lineup: the MZ480 Brush Cutter attachment. This powerful new deck is the answer to what many of you have been asking for - a companion to the popular Tough Cut with even more capability for tackling overgrown areas.

 

A Cut Above 

Let's get straight to the most impressive feature: this new Brush Cutter is rated for 3-inch diameter material, making it significantly more capable than the current Tough Cut. With a 48-inch cut width and 52-inch overall width, it's designed to balance power and maneuverability in challenging terrain.

While the Brush Cutter isn't designed to replace your tough cut or flail mower, it does provide a powerful solution for those times when you're facing heavily overgrown areas or saplings that other attachments simply can't handle.

Built for Serious Work

What makes this attachment so powerful? The Brush Cutter features just two blades, but they're swing-away and half-inch thick - significantly more durable than what you'd find in a standard mower deck. This design allows the blades to absorb energy when hitting large obstructions while still maintaining enough lift to cut grass effectively.

The result is a versatile attachment that performs well in a variety of situations, from maintaining grassy areas in tree farms to tackling overgrown patches with small trees.

Innovative Design Features

The Brush Cutter includes several thoughtful design elements that make it both powerful and practical:

  • A front-mounted pivoting door with a gas shock that allows material to be fed into the blade edge, making it easier to process saplings
  • A massive spindle that stores energy and transfers it efficiently to cut through tough material
  • A convenient hoist point for easier attachment and removal
  • A site window that provides access to the blades for maintenance or replacement

We understand that every property and operation is unique. The Brush Cutter is designed to be a companion to your existing equipment - not a replacement. It fills a specific role in tackling those challenging areas where standard mowers just won't cut it.
