Features
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.
Round rear deck frame provides easy maneuvering in tight areas
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 Chain Deflector
Rear Chain Deflector
The front and rear deck deflector are made of chain for longer life.
PTO Slip Clutch
PTO clutches protect the gear box component against damage when blade rotation has stopped.
PTO Driveline Holder
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.
Gear Box
Replaceable skid shoes
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.
It also offers optional replaceable skid shoes for longer wear life of the cutter side skirts.
Adjusting the cutting height is easy, simply adjust a tractor's three-point linkage and move the support bar to the desired cutting height.
Break Link
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.
The RC40 Series Rotary Cutter has laminated rear tire, that is puncture resistant.
The laminated tire is longer lasting and provides more support when working in sandy or lighter soil conditions.
Quik-Knect
iMatch
The RC40 Series Frontier™ Rotary Cutters are iMatch ready and compatible with the John Deere Quik-Knect power take-off (PTO) connection system. This makes hooking up the RC40 Series Cutters easy and quick, so you can get working on the job at hand, faster.
NOTE: iMatch and Quik-Knect sold separately.
