Rotary Cutters
Homesteads
Our popular Frontier™ RC20 Series rotary cutters offer property owners fast, reliable mowing and trimming along with budget-friendly pricing. Frontier rotary cutters are built for your homestead—choose from four models ranging from 48 inches (121 cm) to 84 inches (213 cm). They attach and detach with ease and deliver the rugged performance needed to mow material up to 2 inches (5.08 cm) in diameter. Frontier RC20 Series come with a 2-year warranty and 6-year gearbox warranty.
Tall grasses, weeds, and brush
Featuring a sturdy double-deck design and consistent material flow, Medium-Duty Series rotary cutters tackle tall grasses, tough weeds, and brush with stems up to 2 inches (5.08 cm) in diameter. We offer five M Series rotary cutters—three single-spindle and two multi-spindle—ranging in size from 5 feet (1.52 m) to 10.5 feet (3.2 m).
Livestock and property maintenance
For livestock operations and high-maintenance properties, Heavy-Duty RC R rotary cutters provide a double-deck design with thicker steel, stronger bearings, and heavier drive components compared to RC M Medium-Duty rotary cutters. We offer five single-spindle RC M models, ranging in size from 5 feet (1.52 m) to 10.5 feet (3.2 m), for mid-duty applications, cutting brush up to 2 inches (5.08 cm) in diameter. For heavier-duty needs, RC R models include four multi-spindle options from 10.5 feet (3.2 m) to 13.7 feet (4.2 m), and single-spindle models like the RC6R and RC7R, capable of cutting brush up to 4 inches (10.16 cm).
Farms and roadsides
The Flex Wing FC Series is engineered to make time-consuming grass maintenance quicker. The FC Heavy-Duty models, available in 3.05 m (10 feet) and 4.57 m (15 feet) widths, are designed for extensive roadside cutting with precision and efficiency, providing more time between mowings. The other models in the FC series are the R Series, ranging in size from 3.66 m (12 feet) to 6.1 m (20 feet), that are built for commercial and municipal mowing, while the M and E Series models are designed for homesteads, large properties, and mid to small ag producers.
