Bar-tite hitch (Optional)

Ideal drawbar for extreme conditions. Clamps tight to the drawbar eliminating any drawbar
wear

Gearbox seal protection

10 Gauge deck

Heavy deck design holds up to harsh conditions.

1/4 ” Sidewall thickness

Reduces debris piercing possibilities.

10 1/2” Deck height

Handles heavy cutting, which reduces balling up of cut material under the deck.

2” to 14” Cutting Height

Cover a wide range of cutting conditions.

6” Blade overlap

Eliminates skipping during turns.

3” Cutting capacity

Can cut brushy areas with saplings.

High blade tip speed

(540 rpm = 14,909 fpm center & 15,037 fpm wing)
(1000 rpm = 15,606 fpm center & 14,651 fpm wing)
Allows clean cutting of material.

Replaceable skid shoes

Can be replaced when damaged or worn out on wing and center deck.

3/16” Stump jumper

Heavy round stump jumper with bottom gearbox seal protector. Can hold up to tough
conditions.

Deck rings (option)

Keeps blades from damaging the deck.

4 Plate slip-clutch

Protects drivelines and gearboxes by slipping clutches rather than twisting the driveline
when impacts are encountered.

Easy to Grease drivelines

Drivelines have access holes to grease the U-joints of the driveline, as well as holes to
grease the inner profiles.

Hinged wing section

Allow you to shape the cutter to the job. Ideal for rough ground where hillsides, ditches and
hollows can cause uneven cutting.

1” Solid hinge rods

Larger diameter hinge rod gives greater strength to the cutter from front to rear, and in the
hinge area itself.

Transport wing locks

Transport wing lock securely holds the wing in the folded position in case of hydraulic
failure.

Enclosed front to rear dual

leveling rods

Dual leveling rods enable the cutter to pull equally on the rear axle during travel over rough
terrain. Some competitors only use one leveling rod.

Airplane tire option

with optional foam sealant

Airplane tires give better cushion while transporting the cutter. Available with heavy-duty
foam which virtually eliminates flats.

Laminated tires option

Can’t go flat.

Replaceable wheel spindles

Wheel spindles can be replaced easily by removing two bolts vs. replacing the entire axle.

Wheels

5 or 6 Wheel option.

Spring cushioned center-axle

Protects unit from bumps and ground shock.

Walking Tandem (Optional)

Better flotation on rougher terrain.
