INTRODUCTION
These rugged Cutters are designed for heavy-duty work. They can mow pastures, cut brush up to 4” in
diameter, and control grass and weeds on highways or industrial sites.
For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of Chain
Guards or Solid Skirts at all times. The Cutter manufacturer strongly recommends the use
of Chain Guards or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes as well, to reduce the risk of
property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from objects thrown out by or from
contact with the Cutting Blades.
The 60" machine requires a minimum of 30 HP for both 540 and 1000 RPM machines. The 72" Cutter requires
at least 35 HP for 540 and 1000 RPM machines. The maximum allowable horsepower for either size is 90HP.
At least 20% or the tractor’s weight must be on the front tires with the implement lifted to
provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills,
rough terrain, and curves.
Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your
automobile).
