OPERATION
Rotary Cutter
• The Rhino 2160 Rotary Cutting Head is rated
to cut vegetation up to 2” in diameter.
• Objects tend to be thrown out from under the
head in the direction of blade rotation and
toward the raised edge of the shroud. Avoid
cutting with the head tilted at an angle that
objects would be thrown towards the tractor
operator position.
• When clearing brush and small trees, operate
tractor at 1 mph ground speed and position
cutter head at an angle that will cut 2’ to 3’ into
the growth. Make the first pass just above
ground level. This will remove the low
branches and allow operator a better view of
the material to plan fro the next pass. After
repeated passes, each elevated approximately
4’ above the last, the main trunks of the trees
will be exposed and they can be cut as
desired. This avoids clogging the head with cut
and mulched material.
• When operating near the ground or when
mulching, be particularly careful that there are
not bystanders or animals within a 100 yards.
Debris tend to fly out at great speed and can
injure or even cause death. OPS-B- 0061
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard
rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown
outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not
limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox
Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should
be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety
devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or
broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be
replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from
thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact.
