brush cutter

Overgrowth clearing tool

A brush cutter is a powered tool for clearing dense vegetation—thick weeds, shrubs, and small saplings that would overwhelm a standard lawn mower or string trimmer.

Most have a metal blade or heavy-duty cutting head mounted on a long shaft: We rented a brush cutter to clear the overgrown lot.

Industrial versions attach to tractors or excavators for land clearing.
