LaneShark Rotary Cutter w/5-8.5GPM Motor, 44" Cutting Width, 2-3" Capacity

The Lane Shark LS4-5-8.5 Rotary Cutter is a compact, precision-focused front-mounted cutter built for light brush, fence lines, and hard-to-reach trimming jobs. Designed to mount directly to your tractor’s front-end loader (SSQA or JD hook & pin), it gives you unmatched visibility and control with vertical and offset cutting positions (25°–55°). Equipped with a low-flow motor (5–8.5 GPM) and a 44" cutting width, this unit is ideal for smaller hydraulic systems—proving you don’t need massive flow to get clean, controlled results.
