Abstract: A rotary tree cutter attachment for a tractor includes a cutting assembly having a circular blade with a serrated outer edge, and a motor for rotatably driving the blade. A frame assembly for the tree cutter includes a first portion attached to the tractor frame, and a second portion extending perpendicular to the first portion and providing an offset mounting location outside a wheel path of the tractor. A pivot arm is pivotally connected to the offset mounting location for rotation about an axis transverse to the tractor's direction of travel. The pivot arm supports the cutting assembly and is movable about the transverse axis between a lowered position in which the cutting edge of the circular blade is generally horizontal and at ground level for cutting, and a raised position in which the cutting edge of the circular blade is elevated above ground level for traveling.
