Introduction - Series II Rotary Cutter
Introduction
The Farm King Series II Rotary Cutter is available in widths of 60", 72" and 84" and can be equipped
with either trailing style or 3-point hitch.The 3-point hitch is Quick Hitch compatible so it is easy to
attach and unhook. 3-point hitch models include a single solid rubber trailing wheel, while rotary
cutters with a trailing hitch have two wheels, either air-filled or made of solid rubber.
Farm King Rotary Cutters are built tough and made to last.The blades are heat-treated to enhance
rigidity and the heavy-duty gearbox is designed to be rugged and durable.The access panel on the
deck makes it easy to inspect or replace the blades. An optional chain kit minimizes the possibility
of flying debris.The stump-jumper is a 24" plate mounted to the blades below the gearbox and
minimizes stress on the deck and gearbox.The power take-off (PTO) shaft on the series II 60" rotary
cutter includes a shear pin to protect the gearbox in the event of an unforeseen obstacle, while
the 72" and 84" rotary cutters are equipped with a slip clutch to prevent gearbox damage.The 72"
with the trailing style hitch (Y720T) includes a two-piece PTO shaft for tighter turning radius. An 8"
cylinder and hoses are optional for all trailing models.
