Earthmoving company AR Equipment, has launched its latest skid steer slasher, featuring a high-torque bent-axis piston motor which is claimed to produce 30 per cent more torque than conventional gear designs – while also enhancing reliability and durability.
Maximum torque is 501Nm.

Weighing in at 640kg and with a deck length and width of 1900 and 1600mm respectively, the skid steer slasher has twin swing-away jockey wheels, perfect for manoeuvring around trees and edges, while tube skids assist in turning and allow the slasher to ride up over obstacles.
The pivoting mounting plate also reduces pressure on the skid steer frame and enables the slasher to pivot in and out of gullies and sharp terrain changes.

"Our new skid steer slasher is engineered to provide superior performance while being easy to use and maintain," said James Schonknecht, the owner and lead designer at AR Equipment.
"Whether you are clearing thick vegetation or maintaining paddocks, this attachment is designed to handle the toughest conditions with ease.”
The skid steer slasher is priced at $10,989, including GST. For more information, visit AR Equipment’s website.
