Slasher
A hydraulically driven cutting deck reduces grass and suitable light vegetation. The cutting system and carrier need to match the vegetation and terrain, with debris controls around the work area.
When to choose it
- Cutting grass and light regrowth
- Maintaining approved access tracks and easements
- Vegetation maintenance before site works
When it’s not the right call
- Heavy woody vegetation. Do not assume a grass-cutting deck is suitable for trees or dense woody scrub.
- Hidden debris. Wire, rock and rubbish can damage the cutting system or become projectiles.
- People in the work zone. Debris controls and exclusion distances are required before cutting starts.
Sizes we work with
The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.
Using your own machine or hiring ours? Include that in your enquiry.
The Right Setup Starts Here
Tell us what you need to get done. A few key details about your job help us specify, configure and commission the right attachment for your machine, application and site requirements.
- Vegetation: Type, height, density and stem sizes.
- Ground: Slopes, hidden debris, visibility and access.
- Work area: Area, required finish and nearby people or structures.
- Your machine: Make, model, mounting plate, rated operating capacity and relevant hydraulic or electrical controls.

Common questions
What is a skid steer slasher used for?
A hydraulically driven deck that cuts grass and light regrowth along tracks, easements and open areas.
Slasher or forestry mulcher?
A slasher suits grass and light vegetation; a mulcher handles woody scrub.
Can a slasher work over hidden debris?
Inspect first. Wire, rock and rubbish can become projectiles or damage the cutter.
Is a slasher suitable for site vegetation maintenance?
Yes, maintaining grass before or during site works is a typical use.
Will a slasher fit my skid steer or track loader?
Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The slasher's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
