The 400 HLX Cutter-Head: One Machine, Two Applications, Total Control

The 400 HLX Cutter-Head: One Machine, Two Applications, Total Control
In the world of land clearing and forestry mulching, versatility isn’t a luxury—it’s a requirement. The 400 HLX cutter-head is built around that reality, delivering a true two-in-one solution that performs seamlessly on both skid steers and track hoes.
This isn’t just about compatibility—it’s about unlocking more jobs, more flexibility, and more productivity from a single attachment.
A True Two-in-One Advantage
Most cutter-heads are designed with a single platform in mind. The 400 HLX breaks that limitation.
Engineered to operate on:
- Skid steers and compact track loaders
- Medium track hoes
…it gives operators the ability to switch between machines based on the job—without sacrificing performance .
That means:
- Tight access jobs? Run it on a skid steer.
- Reach, slope work, or ditch clearing? Move it to a track hoe.
One cutter-head. Two machine classes. No compromise.
Controlled Bite, Maximum Efficiency
Efficiency isn’t just about power—it’s about control.
The 400 HLX uses a dual control rib design to regulate how material is fed into the cutter-head. Compared to traditional single-rib systems, this delivers:
- Smoother cutting performance
- Reduced shock loads on the machine
- Better consistency across varying material sizes
Operators get a more predictable cut, whether they’re clearing brush or processing larger timber.
Smarter Chip Flow, Better Results
The cutter-head is engineered to manage material, not just cut it.
With features like:
- Knock-out relief to reduce cutting resistance
- Split block technology to break chips down further
- A self-cleaning effect that clears debris between rotations
…the 400 HLX produces finer mulch while maintaining momentum through dense material .
More Productivity, Less Demand
With hydraulic capability up to 50 GPM and 6000 PSI, the 400 HLX delivers serious cutting power while maintaining efficiency .
This translates into:
- More material processed per pass
- Lower fuel consumption
- Reduced wear on the carrier machine
It’s not just about working harder—it’s about working smarter.
The Finish That Sets It Apart
Beyond raw performance, the 400 HLX delivers a superior end result.
Its cutting system produces:
- Fine, sawdust-like mulch
- Even ground coverage
- A clean, professional “park-like” finish
This level of refinement makes it ideal for:
- Property development
- Trail creation
- Vegetation management
- Firebreak construction
Why the 400 HLX Stands Out
The difference comes down to design philosophy. The 400 HLX isn’t built for a single use case—it’s built for adaptability, efficiency, and real-world performance across multiple machine platforms.
One attachment. Two machine types. Endless capability.
