Features
Adjustable Cutting Height of 1.5 to 9 in. (3.8 to 22.9 cm)

Adjusting the cutting height is easy. Along with adjusting a tractor's three-point linkage, simply move the support bar to the desired cutting height. The RC20 Series Rotary Cutters go as low as 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) or as high as 9 in. (22.9 cm).
Easy-to-Maneuver Deck

The round-back deck design on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutter enables easy maneuvering into tight corners and around trees, fences, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Deck Deflectors Offered in Chain or Rubber

The front deck and deflector support are flush with the deck on the RC20 Series Rotary Cutters. This allows water and debris an unrestricted exit off the top of the deck. These deflectors are available in rubber or chain on the front or metal or chain on the rear.
