John Deere's Extreme Duty Brush Cutter (RS72) attachment improves the ease and safety of site preparation, clearing, and maintenance tasks. The RS72 is the latest addition to the John Deere Worksite Pro lineup of attachments, and it is optimized to work with select John Deere E- and D-Series skid steers, compact track loaders (CTLs), and most competitive models.

The RS72 boasts many key features that help drive additional productivity to a skid steer or CTL, including an exclusive, patent-pending retractable forward shield. When using the RS72 on larger trees and brush, the shield will move up and away from the tree to expose the entire cutting edge, protecting the operator from flying debris.

Other features and capabilities of the RS72 include an ability to cut heavy brush and trees up to seven inches in diameter; four double beveled-edge blades and optional stump-grinding teeth for easy stump removal and material cutting; and a unique mower deck that funnels brush and trees to the corners of the mower for maximum blade performance.
