1-2 DESCRIPTION
The RFM cutters (Figure 1-1) are intended for cut-
ting lawns or any maintained area where a clean,
uniform finish is desired. Parallel uplift blades form a
suction during operation to lift the grass before cut-
ting it. The four caster wheel arrangement, along
with the floating top lift linkage work together to give
an even cut and minimize scalping.
Power from the tractor is transmitted through a trian-
gular, telescoping driveline to the 90 degree gear-
box. It is then passed to the spindle housings and
blades by a single, B-section, Kevlar reinforced belt.
Drivetrain protection is provided by belt slippage.
