OPERATING TECHNIQUES - REAR BLADE

Adjusting Top Link

Level the A-frame and boom with 3-point connecting links and top link. Adjusting the top link length will change the fore and aft pitch of the tool.

Lengthening the top link will cause the tool to contact the ground with a sharper pitch and feed itself into the ground more readily.

Position 3-point lift arm sway blocks or tighten sway chains to eliminate side sway. Install side braces if nec- essary.

Reversing

For most tractors, the blade may be rotated 360° with- out unhooking from the tractor.

To rotate without unhooking, pull hitch pin assembly, rotate to desired position, replace hitch pin assembly.

Angling

Remove hitch pin assembly.

The blade may be set 15° or 30° to the left or right for forward grading.

Backfilling

Reverse blade for backfilling ditches or trenches (see Reversing).

Storage

„To help prevent injury caused by a falling imple- ment, always detach on a hard level surface.

„Block equipment securely for storage.

„Do not climb or lean on stored equipment.

„Keep children and bystanders away from stor- age area.

Store the rear blade with the hitch lowered to the ground or use the optional parking stand on the upper hole (Figure 4).

Woods Equipment has established itself as a prominent name in the agricultural and landscaping equipment industry, and their range of rotary cutters, particularly the RBE5, BSE5, and RBE4 models, showcases the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation.

The Woods RBE5 rotary cutter is designed for light to medium-duty applications. Its robust construction ensures durability, while the 5-foot cutting width allows for efficient operation in a variety of environments. The RBE5 features a rugged frame with a reinforced deck, providing the strength needed to tackle tough brush and tall grass. Additionally, it comes equipped with a belt-driven design, which enhances cutting performance and reduces maintenance time. The adjustable tailwheel offers improved maneuverability, allowing operators to navigate uneven terrain with ease, making it an ideal choice for landscaping professionals and property owners alike.

The BSE5 model takes versatility up a notch, specifically catering to those who require a compact rotary cutter. With similar durability and construction to the RBE5, the BSE5 is perfect for smaller tractors, providing a cutting width of 5 feet that can handle a wide range of brush and weeds. This model features a heavy-duty, all-steel construction that ensures long-lasting performance. The BSE5 also integrates a quick hitch design, allowing for convenient attachment and detachment. This means operators can quickly switch between tasks, streamlining workflow and increasing productivity on the job site.

The RBE4, on the other hand, is a smaller version, specifically designed for compact tractors. This 4-foot rotary cutter maintains the same design philosophy as its counterparts, combining durability with efficiency. The RBE4’s low-profile design allows for easy maneuvering in tight spaces, making it an excellent option for small farms or landscaping projects. Featuring a heavy-duty gear box and a smooth deck design, this model minimizes the risk of clumping and ensures an even cut.

All three models incorporate Woods Equipment’s notable safety features. The sheer bolt protection helps prevent damage to the cutter and tractor during unforeseen encounters with obstacles. Additionally, the reinforced skirt design not only adds to the structural integrity but also enhances operator safety by minimizing thrown debris.

Overall, the RBE5, BSE5, and RBE4 rotary cutters from Woods Equipment highlight the brand's dedication to delivering reliable, efficient, and safe solutions for various cutting needs in agricultural and landscaping applications. Their combination of innovative technologies and user-friendly features makes them valuable assets for professionals in the field.
