18′ cutting width gives wide coverage, while an ultra-narrow transport width makes hauling and road travel safer and easier.
Heavy-duty construction with a 7 gauge domed deck that sheds water and debris for easier cleaning and longer life.
Power options: Works with either 540 rpm or 1000 rpm PTO, available in constant-velocity (CV) or equal-angle drives to match tractor setups.
Durability: Robust gearboxes, drive system, spun-formed stump jumpers, and heavy-duty hubs/spindles for long service life and stable operation.
Versatile cutting: Adjustable cutting height from about 1.75″ up to 16.75″, with roughly 3.5″ cutting capacity and good ground clearance for rough terrain.
