Designed for extreme-duty applications, the Rotary Shark excels at clearing medium to heavy brush and hardwoods up to 18 cm (7 in.) in diameter.
Direct drivetrain contains no gearbox, for improved performance, durability, and reliability.
Four alternating bevel blades are made of 19.1-mm (0.75 in.)-thick high-grade steel in a reversible design, to provide a deep, self-clearing cut and long wear life.
Standard pressure gauge is highly visible, allowing easy monitoring of blade load to prevent both overheating and overloading.
Retractable forward shield moves up and away from the tree to expose entire cutting edge while protecting the operator from flying debris.
