When it comes time to slash and grab, check out these 19 construction equipment attachments for clearing land.

Our product roundup includes a variety of brush and forestry cutters for chopping through thick vegetation and small trees with your construction equipment.

Then when it’s time to clean out the felled debris, several types of rakes and grapples for excavators and compact equipment can help you tackle the job.

BobcatBobcat’s new disc mulcher for its skid-steer and compact track loaders features a high-velocity disc fitted with four-point, hardened-steel teeth for powering through tough landclearing tasks. It can cut down trees up to 14 inches thick and can turn heavy brush and trees up to 6 inches thick into a bed of mulch. The disc mulcher is available in 48-inch and 60-inch cutting widths.

VirnigVirnig’s X30 Mini Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter is the company’s first mini-excavator attachment. The X30 makes quick work of clearing brush, vegetation and small trees up to 4 inches in diameter with its 42-inch cutting-width deck. The front deck is removable, offering 270-degree blade engagement. Virnig says serrations help guide where trees fall when the deck is off. If operators need to control and contain flying debris, optional left and right heavy-duty side curtains are available.
