Junior Limb Cutter | Skid Steer & Tractor Brush Trimmer | 48"

Skid Steer and Tractor Limb and Hedge Trimmer with a Swing-and-Tilt Head

The Quick Attach Junior Limb Cutter is a skid steer and tractor hedge trimmer and limb cutter built for roadside clearing, fence line and hedgerow maintenance, trail cleanup, and vegetation management. It gives operators the reach and cutting capacity to tackle overgrowth from the cab.

Available for skid steers and tractor loaders, the cutter has a 48-inch cutting path and 51 dual-edge fixed teeth operating at 4,000–4,500 RPM. It cuts limbs up to 4 inches in diameter and reaches a cutting height of up to 200 inches. The head swings 90 degrees from center to either side and tilts up to 45 degrees below horizontal, helping operators work around overhanging limbs, slopes, ditch banks, and fence lines. Manual positioning comes standard; hydraulic tilt and swing are available as options. At 500 pounds and 6 to 15 GPM of auxiliary flow, it suits compact tractors and smaller skid steers..

With cutting capacity, reach, and flexible positioning in one attachment, the Junior Limb Cutter is a practical choice for routine hedge, limb, and vegetation maintenance.

For limbs up to 6 inches, step up to the Limb Cutter 4, our 48-inch tractor limb cutter, or the 72-inch Limb Cutter 6 for skid steers and excavators.

BUILT FOR HEDGEROWS, DITCH BANKS, AND SMALLER MACHINES

The Junior Limb Cutter brings a 48-inch cutting head to skid steers and tractor loaders that cannot carry a heavier trimmer. It weighs 500 pounds and runs on 6 to 15 GPM, and its head swings 90 degrees to either side and tilts 45 degrees below horizontal, so you can trim a hedgerow, follow a fence row, or reach down a ditch bank without repositioning the machine every few feet.

  • Hedgerow and fence row trimming
  • Ditch bank and slope trimming
  • Trail and lane edges
  • Roadside overgrowth
  • Field edges and property lines
  • Limbs overhanging drives, sheds, and yards

The Junior sits in the middle of our five limb cutters: a 48-inch head that cuts 4-inch limbs at 4,000-4,500 RPM with 51 teeth, swinging 90 degrees to either side with hydraulic tilt and swing available, for skid steers and tractor loaders. For limbs up to 3 inches with a simpler pin-drop swing on the same machines, see the Compact Limb Cutter. Cutting limbs thicker than 4 inches? The Limb Cutter 4 handles 6-inch limbs on skid steers, tractors and excavators, and the Limb Cutter 6 steps up to a 72-inch head and 24 feet of reach on skid steers and excavators. For a clamp-on option on an existing bucket, there's the Bucket Mount Limb Cutter.

For grass and brush at ground level, pair the Junior with a tractor brush mower or the EZ Mow skid steer brush mower.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines does the Junior Limb Cutter fit?
The Junior comes in two versions: the JLC SS for skid steers and the JLC TR for tractor loaders. Both use the same 48-inch head with 51 dual-edged fixed teeth. The skid steer version mounts to the universal skid steer quick-attach plate. Call (866) 428-8224 with your machine's make and model and we will confirm the fit.
How much hydraulic flow does it need?
The Junior Limb Cutter runs on 6 to 15 GPM of auxiliary hydraulic flow and weighs 500 pounds, which makes it one of the lightest-demand cutters in our lineup. Check the auxiliary flow in your operator's manual before ordering. Our guide to standard-flow vs. high-flow skid steer attachments explains how to find your number.
How thick a limb can it cut, and how high can it reach?
It cuts limbs up to 4 inches in diameter and reaches a cutting height of up to 200 inches (about 16.7 feet). The 51-tooth rotor spins at 4,000 to 4,500 RPM, so it trims hedgerows, brush and smaller limbs cleanly in a single pass.
What is the difference between manual and hydraulic tilt and swing?
Both versions swing the head 90 degrees to either side and tilt it up to 45 degrees below horizontal. With manual positioning, which comes standard, you set the angle by hand before you cut. With the hydraulic tilt and swing option, you change the angle from the cab while you work, which saves time on jobs that switch between vertical trimming and ditch banks.
Should I choose the Junior or the Compact Limb Cutter?
Both have a 48-inch cutting width, run at 4,000 to 4,500 RPM and fit skid steers and tractor loaders. The Junior cuts limbs up to 4 inches with 51 teeth and swings 90 degrees to either side, with hydraulic tilt and swing available. The Compact Limb Cutter cuts limbs up to 3 inches with 50 teeth and uses a pin-drop swing. Choose the Junior if you face thicker growth or change angles often.
Is the Junior Limb Cutter a boom mower?
No. A skid steer or tractor boom mower is usually a flail mowing head on a long boom and stick, made for grass and light brush. The Junior is a limb and hedge trimmer: a toothed rotor that cuts limbs up to 4 inches and reaches up to 200 inches high. Its tilting head does handle ditch banks and slopes, so for many owners it covers both overhead trimming and bank work.
Can I trim hedges and fence rows with it?
Yes. The 48-inch rotor and swinging head are well suited to hedgerows and overgrown fence rows. Run the head vertically along the face of the hedge, then swing or tilt it to square off the top or trim the bank below. For limbs thicker than 4 inches, step up to the Limb Cutter 4.
How much does it cost, and where is it made?
Pricing depends on the version and options, so we quote each Junior Limb Cutter individually. Use Get a Quote or call (866) 428-8224. Financing is available. The Junior is made in the USA by Quick Attach, based in Alexandria, Minnesota, and is covered by a two-year warranty from the date of delivery.
