Abstract
An apparatus for cutting and clearing brush, trees and land debris includes a housing adapted for mounting to a carrier and a rotor assembly with a predetermined plurality of cutting tools mounted for rotation within the housing and driven by a gearbox and a motor combination. A tubular frame mounted to the housing above the rotor guides pushes the material for contact with the cutting tools mounted on the rotor. A movable front flange provides directional control for processed material discharge. A plurality of cutting tools are attached to a bottom portion of the housing for decreasing the size of the processed material. A plurality of a plate like members are attached to the bottom portion of the housing for limiting a size of the unprocessed material and for guiding the material into the housing for contact with stationary and rotating cutting tools. At least one deflector within the housing reduces the speed of the processed material for increased contact with the cutting tools.
