Description

The heavy-duty RC5515 & RCM5515 Commander Series Rotary Cutters provide excellent cutting performance on gently sloping or slightly contoured rights-of way, roadsides, pastures, set-aside-acres, or residue in row crop fields. The 15’ cutting width, 2" to 14" cutting height and ability to cut weeds and brush make them well suited for these applications. All listed models offer pull-type, self-leveling clevis hitches for attachment to 50-250 HP tractors. The RC55 Series feature a Cat. 5 main driveline. Both models offer various safety guard selections, making them an excellent choice for state and municipal mowing applications.

Star profile drive shafts Star profile spreads load out to many points on the shaft. More apt to resist bending and twisting under shock loads and harsh mowing conditions.
Easy Greasable drivelines Drivelines have access holes for greasing the U-joints and to grease the inner profiles.
4 Plate slip-clutch Protects drivelines and gearboxes by slipping clutches rather than twisting the driveline when impacts are encountered.
High blade tip speed Allows clean cutting of material.
6" Blade overlap Eliminates skipping during turns.
High cutting capacity Can cut brushy areas with saplings up to 4".
Pre-cut chamber Allows grass and vegetation to stand back up prior to cutting for a more complete cut.
