  • With the RC40 series Rotary Cutters, high take-rate options are now included in base equipment. This will reduce ordering complexity and still including highly ordered features, such as the Front and Rear Chain Shields and PTO Slip Clutch without the ordering complexity.
Easy-to-maneuver deck

The round-back deck design on the RC40 Series Rotary Cutter enables easy maneuvering into tight corners and around trees, fences, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Front and rear chain shields in base

The front and rear deck deflector are made of chain for longer life.

Power take-off (PTO) slip clutch and drive shaft storage in base

PTO clutches protect the gear box component against damage when blade rotation has stopped.

The drive holder that is incorporated into the frame, allows the PTO drive shaft to rest on the frame and not on the shop floor or ground. Providing more comfort and avoiding contamination from dirty floor and ground surfaces.

Durability and reliability

The RC40 Series cutters also comes with a three year limited gear box warranty, giving customers peace of mind regarding the heart of their rotary cutter.

Adjustable cutting height

Adjusting the cutting height is easy, simply adjust a tractor's three-point linkage and move the support bar to the desired cutting height.

Floating hitch design for better cut quality

The Mast brackets are connected to a free break link allowing the rotary cutter to follow the ground with the rear wheel, resulting in improved cut quality.
