John Deere rotary cutters excel at clearing medium to heavy brush and hardwoods up to 10 inches in diameter.

Direct-drive bearing delivers higher efficiency and extended durability.

Hydraulic valve stops blades from spinning within seconds upon shutdown.

Motor cover protects important components and connections from debris.

On the RS72 model, four alternating bevel blades are made of 0.75-inchthick high-grade steel in a reversible design, for a deep, self-clearing cut and long wear life.

Heavy, flywheel like blade carrier maintains inertia while cutting and enables mounting of optional stump-grinding carbide teeth.

RS and RX models have a retractable forward shield that rolls back to expose blades to larger trees and falls closed for processing material and minimizing flying debris.

On RX models, three single-bevel blades are made of 0.625-inch-thickforged steel for excellent cutting inmost applications. Optimized blade carrier design provides fast startup and recovery performance.

These rotary cutters are optimized to work with John Deere skid steer loaders (SSLs) and compact track loaders (CTLs). They’re also compatible with many competitive models.
