Railroad Brush Cutter Solutions by Mitchell Railgear – Clearing the Way for Safer Tracks

Overgrown vegetation is one of the biggest challenges to maintaining clear, safe, and operational railway lines. Mitchell-railgear’s Railroad Brush Cutter systems are engineered to deliver powerful, reliable vegetation control across even the toughest rail corridors.

Whether you're clearing around tracks, switches, or sidings, our Hi-Rail-compatible brush cutters help keep railways open and efficient—year-round.





🌾 Why Vegetation Control Matters in Rail Operations

Unchecked brush growth can:

  • Obstruct signal visibility

  • Interfere with rail operations

  • Create fire hazards

  • Encourage pests and wildlife near active tracks

  • Increase wear on passing trains and equipment

Regular and precise vegetation management is essential to meet regulatory standards and ensure the long-term integrity of rail infrastructure.

πŸ› ️ Mitchell’s Railroad Brush Cutter – Built for the Rail Environment

Our Hi-Rail Brush Cutter systems are designed to mount on various utility vehicles or excavators, enabling access to hard-to-reach areas while operating directly on the tracks.

Key Features Include:

  • ✅ High-torque cutting heads for thick brush, branches, and saplings

  • ✅ Adjustable boom arms for reaching embankments and ditches

  • ✅ Durable, low-maintenance hydraulic systems

  • ✅ Compatibility with Hi-Rail gear for on/off rail operation

  • ✅ Operator-safe controls for precision and efficiency

We offer custom attachment solutions for multiple vehicle types, including track excavators, Hi-Rail trucks, and MOW equipment.
