TRIMMING HEDGES, BRUSH, VINES AND OVERHANGING TREES IS AS EASY AS HOPPING ON YOUR TRACTOR, SKID STEER, OR SIMILAR EQUIPMENT WITH THE SABRE SAMURAI HYDRAULIC POWERED CUTTER THAT ATTACHES TO ANY LOADER BUCKET.



A hydraulic motor powers an oscillating cam connecting two cutting blades. Varying the hydraulic flow changes the speed of the blades. 2 inch opposing sickle sections allows the cutter to cut material up to 1 1/2″ inches in diameter. (Dependent upon the hardness of the material being cut and pressure provided by the tractor). The 38- in cutter only requires 3 to 4.5 gal/min. hydraulic flow and can be adjusted to cut vertically, horizontally, or at any angle in between with our Deluxe EZ Mount Bracket. This bracket will also allow the trimmer to be positioned upto 40 degrees below grade for trimming around ponds or along ditch embankments. (Please note hydraulic hoses or fittings are not included. #10 ORB Male fittings will be required with hoses).
The Samurai is virtually maintenance free with sealed bearings and a self-lubricating motor. Sickles are easily replaced as they are fastened with capscrews, not rivets.
The Samurai was developed in conjunction with the Canadian Research Council’s Industrial Technology Centre and tested by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute.

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 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.
