The Lane Shark is a rotary cutter designed to clear overgrown roadways, for light land management, and property maintenance. The rotary cutter Easily cuts up to 2-3” diameter limbs, brush, saplings, and underbrush. The Lane Shark has 11 positions that allow it to cut vertically, offset, directly in front (level), or 25°, 35°, & 45° in the vertical and offset positions.

TWO MODELS – LS-2 and LS-3

• The Lane Shark LS-2 is a light duty rotary cutter designed to clear overgrown roadways, for light land management, and property maintenance.
• Easily cuts up to 2-3” diameter limbs, brush, saplings, and underbrush. The Lane Shark has 11 positions that allow it to cut vertically, offset, directly in front (level), or 25°, 35°, & 45° in the vertical and offset positions
• The Lane Shark LS-2 attaches to the front of any FEL tractor with a SSQA or JD Hook & Pin-Style attachment system. There are adapters available to fit most other applications sold separately.
• The Lane Shark LS-2 weighs just under 450 lbs.
• In order for the Lane Shark brush cutter to operate to full potential, the tractor must have a hydraulic flow rate of at least 8.5 GPM, optimal flow is 10 GPM. Hydraulics are linear, 10 GPM equals 100% of the optimal flow, 8.5 GPM equals 85% of the optimal flow and so on.
• To run the Lane Shark, you must have rear remotes or third function. ONLY Pressure comes from the remote, and return must be to the sump. (CANNOT RETURN THROUGH AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS)
• When purchasing the Lane Shark brush cutter, you will receive a unit equipped with #10 ORB (O-ring Boss) inlets. When using ORB, a minimum inside diameter of 1/2” is required.
• NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DIVERTER VALVES
• NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SKID STEERS
• **Some tractors may require a high capacity motor. If your tractor meets the specifications for an LS-2, but has a hydraulic flow rate between 15-20 gpm, you will need a high capacity LS-2

• The Lane Shark LS-3 is a light duty rotary cutter designed to clear overgrown roadways, for light land management, and property maintenance.
• Easily cuts up to 2-3” diameter limbs, brush, saplings, and underbrush. The Lane Shark has 11 positions that allow it to cut vertically, offset, directly in front (level), or 25°, 35°, & 45° in the vertical and offset positions.
