I live in New Brunswick. I have 8 km of road to clear. Brush on both sides. This cutter saved me a ton of work with my brushsaw and probably saved me a lot of back pain. Best purchase of the year for me . Thanks guys!
How long much time it saved me by using the Samurai ? It usually took my employee and I about 2 1/2 weeks to prune my bushes using a hand held commercial gas trimmer. Using the Samurai cut down the time required to only two days. The biggest benefit from using it however is the clean cut of the blueberry canes. Most products on the market tear the canes and leave it more susceptible to disease infiltration. A cleaner cut helps limit the spread of disease.
Using the info from the support at you company. I built 90% of my mount. I wanted the blade to be 24” outside my tractor. Used scrap metal around the shop, including an old basketball goal post. So don’t laugh!
Everything I expected, love. I have two friend who will be ordering soon!
Just had the unit hosed and flow controller set up. Cuts very nice, gives a great finish. When its not hammering down with rain, and when i have learnt best how to use the Sabre, Ill grab some footage and good quality images for you with it at work. None the less, really very very happy with the product within 10 minutes of use.
I designed the adaptor and I used your bucket bracket for the angle selection, it was strong enough. Everything is easy and fast to remove to use the bucket. Also I can put the cutter direct in front of the bucket (not shown in the video). The step 2 I will add design to add hydraulic to adjust angle. I think you will have some orders from people around here.
Samurai To The Rescue
We live in South East Mississippi on 4 acres…lots of pecan trees and the property is heavily landscaped. All of this is also heavily landscaped. Needless to say all this trim available vegetation was keeping me busy…plus we had 2 garden sites and 24 trees. By the time we finished with the hedge work it was time to start again. I have used up one hedge trimmer and the one still operating was getting tired. I started looking for a new trimmer and also a sickle-bar mower as I had heard about the smaller mowers being used to hedge trim. I finally picked up a Web Thread to the Samurai Trimmer and I knew after viewing the video we had a solution that was viable and much safer than converting and old sickle bar. What use to take us over a month to trim (and immediately start again) can now be maintained in a 3 to 4 day period. Think the Samurai Hedge Trimmer is only for larger properties…think again.

I have had the unit in operation for about 6 hours total now. It works really well!
I use this tool to keep my driveway lane clear of tree limbs and to clear blackberry bushes and other shrubs etc away from the edge of my greenways.
Always be aware of your terrain and don't be too aggressive, keep your tractor vertical!
For me, this toll is 100% perfect for my application.
My observations are not complaints, more an opportunity for some safety and quality improvement.
Observations:
The fasteners to secure to the 0-90 DEG and 0 to -40 DEG slots were supplied as grade 5 hex head cap-screws. I have upgraded these to Grade 8 units to allow for greater torque (130FT/LBS) to be applied to lock the angle of the cutter bar mount in place, works like a charm!
I have an air wrench that is capable of being nominally set at the desired installation torque, which also saves time and effort out of the mount dismount and setting the desired cutter angle.
I would like to see the deluxe mount have larger cup point set screws for securing to the bucket. They do require frequent inspection and tightening. I have installed a 1/8" aluminum shim under the point of the set screw and it seems to give a better bite for securing to the bucket.
My humble opinion also says the at the sickle section needs to have a proper guard installed. It is a heavy unit that requires man handling to be installed on the deluxe bracket. With the cutting section of the bar securely covered, my belief is that it should be much easier to mount on the bracket.
I have passed along my observations to Grant at Canadian Agri Tech, where they were very well received!
Photos are of the install and out in the filed. You can hardly see the bar for the brush covering it!
I've been impressed with the Samurai, so far.
We are impressed with your custom modifications to allow you to articulate the Samurai from the tractor seat. We love hearing stories how the Samurai was able to reduce 5 weekends of work down to just 4 hours! Thank you for sharing your review with our Samurai community.
Problems, not a standard blade, so replacement has to be ordered. The end blade has been knocked off twice.

Also, check bolts often to make sure they done come loose. If they come loose they will hit each other and cause problems.
The Sabre is heavy and can be awkward for one person to mount particularly if it is mounted to the bracket prior to mounting on the bucket. Recommend mounting the bracket first then attach the blade. It takes a little time attaching everything to the bucket. The bracket is attached to the bucket with two bolts that need constant tightening. Vibration from the Sabre causes the bracket to shift and loosen. Be watchful. I recommend getting hyd quick disconnects on each end of the hoses so that the hoses can be removed when adding or removing the Sabre. Helps lighten the load as well getting the hoses out of the way when carrying the Sabre.
I have a Kubota MX5400. I use 2nd gear slow so I can run the rpm’s up while moving at a somewhat steady pace. Light branches are no problem but when you get into the 3/4 to 1” size the cut is not so easy and requires stopping, backing and re-attacking to get the cut. Still working with the Sabre to find the sweet spot for speed and cut. Consider the density of the foliage you plan to use this on before buying. 1” Autumn Olive branches are a challenge for the Sabre. Larger tractors might have an easier go at it.
Overall: it’s a well built product that could use some upgrades (beef up how the bracket mounts to the bucket and design a quick attach for the blade mounting to the bracket instead of 2 bolts). Constantly getting out of the cab to retighten the mounting bolts can be a pain.
Thank you for your review of the Samurai. We are glad to hear you are able to cut up high and as well as down low. We know the Samurai is going to make those trimming chores a whole lot easier.
Thank you for your review of the Samurai. We are so happy to hear the Samurai is keeping your walking trails open and clear. Hopefully now you can spend more time enjoying the trails then the time it took previously to clear them.
I am hedging out blackberries.
We've heard many of our customers have found a use for the Samurai with their blackberries and in their vineyards. Thank you for the review.

I wanted to give a fair review by putting it to work before commenting.
I LOVE IT!
I can now mow the sides of my pond banks, and even better, now SIDE TRIM my logging and ATV trails!
I highly recommend the deluxe bracket as it is worth every penny!
One tip I can offer is that when mounted on the side of the bucket loader the front can feel "tippy" when raised up and side trimming trees.
So I added some weight to the opposite side of my loader bucket and it helps A LOT!
Customer service is FANTASTIC! Thanks Grant!
And my cutter was delivered in two weeks!
Thank you for your review. We are thrilled to hear the Samurai has made the maintenance of your pond banks and your ATV and logging trails much easier. We appreciate your feedback.

Just for giggles I mounted the Samurai on a Struck mini dozer, powered by a 20hp Honda motor. The Samurai performed perfectly, although the mini dozer bucket lift height did limit the amount of vertical height I could obtain, though no fault of the Samurai.
I live in Hilo Hawaii, the rainiest town in the USA. I've seen over 165” of rain so far this year and the Samurai is holding up very well in severely wet conditions. The unit was shipped very well packaged, in a timely manner, and product support has been great. I’m very pleased with the Samurai.
It's great to hear from a new customer all the way from Hawaii! We haven't sold many units in Hawaii, so it is fantastic to hear the Samurai works just as well there as it does in other parts of the country. Thank you for your review.
