A road cutting apparatus is detachable and connectable to a self-propelled front end loading machine. The cutting apparatus includes a rigid frame structure having a connecting section for attaching the frame structure to the front end loading machine and a planar mounting section. An engine including a power take off (PTO) is mounted to a top surface of the mounting section for driving the circular cutting apparatus, and a belt drive is attached to the PTO. The belt drive includes a driving pulley and a following pulley, and a belt disposed between the driving pulley and following pulley provides for transfer of torque therebetween. A driven shaft with a first end and a second end is mounted to the mounting section and attached to the following pulley at its first end, and a retainer blade is connected to the second end for coupling to a circular cutting blade. A cutting assembly is mounted on the mounting section which includes the circular cutting blade and a cooling system for cooling the cutting blade. The circular cutting blade rotates counterclockwise relative a forward cutting direction of the front end loader when the PTO is engaged and powered by the engine.
