So you see all sorts of brush cutter for skid steers, but do they make ones for tractor loaders?

I'm pretty sure they make PTO powered ones, which will be more efficient than setting up a hydraulic driven one.

How would you get PTO power to the front of a loader?

they make a hydraulic powered PTO with 3 pt hitch that fits Bobcat-style fast hitches. Since most modern tractors now have remotes & front-end loader, you can use 3 pt hitch stuff on front.

I ran a brand new 95 horse skid steer all summer with a 4 foot wide hydro axe on it. It was woefully under powered and it threw stuff every where, it would ricochet of of everything and flew about 20 yards.Sure was glad it had 1" thick lexan windows. It always ran about 180 degrees on hydraulic temp. I've run about 10,000 hours in hydraulic powered equipment and can tell you if you to do some work you need a lot of horsepower!

Would the hydraulic pump and motor from a hydraulic driven haybine work for your application?

depends on your loader having a compatible quick tatch and a high enuff GPM hydraulic pump...a cab with Lexan windows and Kevlar coating would keep you from being splintered to death also.

Actually, you don't need a fancy cab door, if you use common sense, and don't pick up the mower real high, when the mower is on, I always make sure the back end of the mower is lower than the front end. I have an ASV RC 30, like in the video, below. I didn't buy the mower, in the video, cause I didn't have 5 grand, in my back pocket, but I did steal the idea, took an old Bush hog, with a rotted out deck, a hydraulic motor, from Surpuscenter.com, and some 1/4 steel plate, and welded one up. Total out of pocket cost was about $1200. This is an easy fabrication, if you have a buzz box welder, a torch, or plasma cutter, and know the basic hydraulic formulas, go for it. I made

I've been thinking seriously about doing this.
What HP is your skid steer? High-flow or regular hydro's? I've got a NH LX565 40hp regular hydro and I'm thinking it may be just a hair small for cutting heavy brush, but may work fine for meadows and such.

I agree that the hydraulic system would be the biggest limitation. To drive a mower you would need not just hydraulic flow and pressure but the ability to deliver both for extended periods of time without overheating the system. Many tractor hydraulic systems are designed for short bursts of oil delivery, not long duration power transmission.
