Features may include:

  • Easy-to-maneuver deck
  • The round-back deck design on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutter enables easy maneuvering into tight corners and around trees, fences, and other hard-to-reach areas.
  • Deck deflectors offered in chain or rubber
  • The 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.
  • These deflectors are available in:
  • Rubber or chain on the front
  • Metal or chain on the rear
  • Adjustable cutting height
  • 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.).
  • Balanced blade pan reduces vibrations
  • There 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.
  • The blade bar is thicker for added durability.
  • Reversible hitch accommodates many types of tractor hookups
  • The lower hitching point on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutter accommodates a reversible front hitch for smaller or older tractors.
