Features
Provides easy maneuvering in tight areasThe round-back deck design on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutter enables easy maneuvering into tight corners andĀ around trees, fences, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Chain deflector shown
Rubber deflector shownThe front deck and deflector support are flush with the deck on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutters. This allows water and debris an unrestricted exit off the top of the deck.
Ā
These deflectors are available in:
- Rubber or chain on the front
- Metal or chain on the rear
Cutting heights of 3.8 cm to 22.9 cm (1.5 in. to 9 in.)Adjusting the cutting height is easy. Along with adjusting a tractor's three-point linkage, simply move the support bar to the desired cutting height.
The RC20 Series Rotary Cutters go as low as 3.8 cm (1.5 in.) or as high as 22.9 cm (9 in.).
Statically balanced to reduce vibrationThere is one standard blade pan for all four sizes of the RC20 Series Rotary Cutters. The blade pan is stamped instead of fabricated and is statically balanced to reduce vibration.Ā
Ā
The blade bar is thicker for added durability.
Low hitching point accommodates various tractorsThe lower hitching point on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutter accommodates a reversible front hitch for smaller or older tractors.
Provides extra strength and durabilityThe RC20 Series Rotary CuttersĀ have a lower lip (Z-profile),Ā which extends from the skid shoes to where the apron opens up. This Z-profile increases the overall durability and strength of the rotary cutter.
Puncture resistant (laminated shown)Choose a laminated or solid rubber rear tire for the RC20 Series Rotary Cutter. Both are puncture resistant.
The laminated tire is longer lasting and provides more support when working in sandy or lighter soil conditions.
Provides quick and easy connectionThe iMatch hitch system converts a tractor's 3-point hitch to fixed hooks and attaching points for a super-quick connection (the iMatch hitch is sold separately).
