Tractor Requirements

The RCR2584 Rotary Cutter is designed for use with trac- tors that are equipped with a (540 RPM 1 3/8”-6 spline) rear power take-off (PTO).

The tractor must also provide for 3-point hitch attachment Category II or III. The tractors rated drawbar minimum horsepower on a 3 point to be 60 hp., and on a trail type 40 hp.

NOTE: In order to maintain steering control, ballast may need to be added to your tractor. To determine whether or not to add the ballast, refer to your trac- tor’s operator manual.
