Cutting Instructions

!DANGER!

The use of front & rear safety shields is strongly recommended to prevent injury or death caused by thrown objects! Gearbox shields must be secured in place when operating to avoid injury or death from entanglement in rotating drivelines.

!DANGER!

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds. Therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is strongly recommended to prevent injury or death caused by thrown objects!

This cutter was designed to cut grass and medium brush in right-of-ways, pastures and for shredding row crop residues.

1.Thoroughly Inspect the area to be cut for debris and unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.

2.Start machine slowly allowing cutter blades to become aligned properly before going to full power.

3.It is important to maintain correct RPM PTO speed. Loss of PTO speed will allow blades to hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.

4.Never run fast enough to overload the tractor or cutter. Ground speed depends on two things:

•The density of material being cut.

•Size of tractor operating the cutter.

!CAUTION!

Damage may occur if exceeding the rated cutting capacity of the cutter!

!CAUTION!

Do not over speed PTO or machine damage may result. The 8’ model in this series is available in 540 RPM. The 10’ model in this series is available in 540 RPM or 1000 RPM. Know what your tractor requirements are.

!WARNING!

The RCR25 series cutter is designed to cut grass and brush up to 1” in diameter. Using his cutter for any other type of work can damage the drive components, deck and support frame.

!DANGER!

Do not use deck as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly designed or guarded for this use. Using the deck as a fan can result in injury and/or death.

!DANGER!

Do not operate and/or travel across steep inclines where a tractor can roll-over resulting in serious injury or death. Consult your tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of traveling across.

!CAUTION!

Tractor PTO shield and all Rotary Cutter guards must be in place at all times during operation!

IMPORTANT: Avoid catching the hydraulic hoses on brush, post, stumps, and other protrusions that could damage and/or break them.

NOTE: Your cutter is equipped with free swinging cutting blades to reduce shock loads to the cutter if striking obstacles.

5.After the first 50 feet, stop and check to see that the cutter is adjusted properly.

6.Do not engage PTO with 3-point in the fully raised or position.

7.Periodically disengage PTO, turn off tractor, remove ignition key and check for foreign objects wrapped around the rotor shaft. Block cutter deck up before removing objects.

Turning Angles for Pull-Type Cutters

Refer to Figure 3-1 and 2-3:

Avoid tractor-to-cutter turning angles exceeding 35 degrees if the main driveline is a standard conventional drive shaft. The turning angle may be increased to 80 degrees if equipped with a constant velocity driveline shaft. These extreme angles are intended for intermittent usage only and not prolonged usage. Plan your field cutting to minimize the number of turns as well as extreme angles where turns are necessary.
