FAQ’S SABRE SAMURAI CUTTER
Will the Samurai work with my tractor?
The Samurai will work with any equipment that can produce minimum 3.5 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) and produce around 2,000 pounds of pressure. Your pressure can be increased or decreased by raising or lowering your tractor RPMS’. The higher your tractor RPMS run the more pressure your tractor will put out which will put more torque to the blades which means you will be able to cut thicker material. if you have a large tractor or skid steer, this equipment will put out large amounts of GPM and pressure even at low RPMS, in this case we recommend implementing a flow control valve which will control the GPM going to the Samurai and prevent overloading it.
You can find the hydraulic capabilities of your equipment by searching your model and hydraulic specifications.

What is the Cutting Length?
Do I need the mounting bracket to operate the Sabre?
What position can the Sabre operate?
The unit can be adjusted to cut in a vertical, horizontal, or any angle in between. The universal mounting bracket allows for a full 110 degree positioning angle.
What size of material can the Sabre cut?
The unit is comprised of two sections of sickles, which have just under a two-inch stroke enabling the unit capable of cutting material up to 1 1/2” in diameter. Because the Sabre cuts material from both sides, it leaves a nice clean cut.
How many GPM does the Sabre require to operate?
This unit only requires 3.3 GPM at 200-psi max to operate properly.
Where do I connect the hydraulics?
To an auxiliary hydraulic port on your tractor, loader or skid steer. If no auxiliary hydraulic port is available, then you can tap into the hydraulic pitch port on the bucket.
How do I lubricate the Sabre?
All contact surfaces are greased when manufactured and should be inspected and greased regularly.
Are the sections a standard size?
No. They are 2″ sickle sections manufactured in Austria to the specifications of the Sabre. They are bolted on and not riveted making replacement simple and easy.
Are the sections smooth or serrated?
Serrated. We found that serrated sections “bite” the material better.
How does it compare to other cutters on the market?
As far as we are aware there are no other cutters on the market that compare to the Sabre for it’s versatility, cutting capacity, low operating requirements and ease of use.
What hydraulic imports do I need for the motor?
You will need 7/8-14 #10O ORB couplers to import into your hydraulic motor.
Are hydraulic hoses supplied?
No. Due to the numerous different models of tractors, loaders and skid steers, it would be impossible to completely satisfy every customer with a standard length of hose.
Is there a longer version of the Sabre available?
We have found that 38 inch cutting bar is an optimum length to allow for easy manoeuvrability when used in either a vertical or horizontal position. If needed, some users will extend the 2” x 2” square tubing on the mounting bracket to enable the unit to have a longer reach.
