FX-1800 Rotary Cutter - 15ft
Rental Rates: $20 / Acre
The SCHULTE FX-1800 is a medium-duty 15' flex-wing rotary cutter built for durability, clean performance, and smooth operation in the field.
A single domed 7-gauge, fully welded deck makes cleaning easy, prevents water pooling and rust, and helps shed debris efficiently.
This cutter delivers a 6.5" blade overlap and high blade tip speeds for a cleaner, more consistent cut.
The four-gearbox driveline features independent slip clutches and heavy-duty Bondioli gearboxes for unmatched reliability.
Splitter gearbox: 1 3/4" 20-spline input/output, rated at 260 HP (194 kW)
Center & wing gearboxes: 1 3/4" 20-spline input, 2 3/8" down shafts, rated at 225 HP (168 kW)
An 80-degree CV shaft provides smooth power transfer during tight turns.
540 rpm: Category 6 CV
1000 rpm: Category 5 CV
Self-adjusting friction clutches protect the driveline and maintain optimal performance — all positioned under the main shield for easy service access.
The FX-1800 includes spun-formed 7-gauge stump jumpers, ensuring durability, smooth operation, and excellent balance.
Available in 540 or 1000 rpm configurations.
