Features
Tractor-Matched Cutting Solution
Available in 10‑ and 12‑foot cutting widths, the FC50 responds to growing demand for wider mowing options that better match smaller‑chassis tractors while making efficient use of available horsepower.
Welded Hitch for Reduced Tongue Weight
The FC50 features a welded hitch frame designed to reduce overall weight and lower vertical drawbar load, improving tractor compatibility.
Adjustable Center Deck and Outer Wings
The center deck uses an adjustable lift‑cylinder suspension to deliver a smoother ride and improved cut quality. Outer wings are easily leveled fore and aft using adjustable turnbuckles, and wing leveling is tied to the main deck for consistent alignment across all three decks. A spring‑suspended main frame helps maintain an even cutting profile.
