Deep-Cutting Chamber

A deep-cutting chamber ensures efficient shredding and a clean cut. With a fast blade-tip speed, the cutter achieves fine shredding of grass, weeds, and brush.

Double-Decker™ Design

The patented Double-Decker design fortifies the cutter's frame and reduces top deck rust. This innovative structure features internal stiffeners and replaceable bolt-on skid shoes.

Heavy-Duty Gearcases

The heavy-duty gearcase, featuring a non-seize self-adjusting slip-clutch driveline, boasts a continuous horsepower rating of 150 hp (112 kW) and a peak of 210 hp (157 kW). It includes cast-metal components with tapered roller bearings, forged gears for enhanced durability, and a factory preset, four-plate slip clutch that never needs adjusting, making it especially valuable for brush operations.
