John Deere rotary cutters lead the way with innovative design, superior performance, and proven durability. Valuable features are included such as the Double-Decker™ design and Max Flow cutting chamber, which prevent water and debris from accumulating on the smooth, dome-shaped top deck while the flat bottom deck absorbs the punishment from rocks and stumps.
The top deck stays smooth - no dents, no dings, no holes. The internal supports sandwiched between the top and bottom decks are key to the smooth and structure-free Max Flow cutting chamber, while at the same time provide added strength and durability.
To help promote safe operation, John Deere rotary cutters are equipped with front and rear safety-chain shields. John Deere rotary cutters continue to advance in value with larger, more powerful gearboxes, redesigned blade holders, and updated constant-velocity (CV) drivelines (special to the flex-wing models).
Here are situations when a rotary cutter is needed:
John Deere rotary cutters are available in three duty-level categories, three different spindle configurations, four hitch types, and three flex-wing sizes.
NOTE: CX models are heavier built to cut at a 101.6mm (4 in.) capacity level more frequently and for longer durations.
Suction blades provide additional lift action for picking up downed material. The blades are 1.3 cm x 10.2 cm (0.5 in. x 4 in.) in size and heat-treated for long wear life.
The fast blade-tip speed ensures clean cutting and fine shredding of material.
Front and rear chain shields are standard equipment:
John Deere is so confident in the reliability of the gearbox, the warranty has been extended. John Deere rotary cutters come with a 5-year limited gearbox warranty.
NOTE: Only for single spindle and multi-spindle.

Required for hookup to a tractor with Category 1 or 2 Quik-Coupler hitch.
This kit is available for customers who want to convert from a Category 1 to a Category 2 hitch.
1) MX5 Single-Spindle Rotary Cutters are now being manufactured with holes in the mast plate to facilitate the conversion bracket, but for older MX5 Single-Spindle Rotary Cutters use the conversion bracket as template to drill a hole in the mast plate. A serial number break was not issued for the addition of the hole to the mast plate.
2) MX6 Single-Spindle Rotary Cutters prior to SN 11,001 were manufactured with Category 2 hitches and could not be converted to Category 1. MX6 Single-Spindle Rotary Cutters SN 11,001 and above are Category 1 and the conversion kit does apply.
Safety shields are used to reduce the hazard of thrown material.
Front chain shields protect the operator, yet still allow uncut material to pass into the cutting chamber with minimal restriction.
Front and rear shields are to be used at all times. They are especially critical when working near roads or other public areas.
