Introduction
The RC²E 4500 rotary cutter makes the mowing operations with
better efficiency and high quality.
The advanced design and the great working width allow a
reduction around fifty percent in the operational cost; especially in
the cleaning of citric and similar orchards, in the elimination of crop
remains and services that demand quickness in its accomplishment.
Especially designed for extensive areas, the RC²E 4500 model
possesses a central frame and two highly resistant lateral frames, in
order to work in severe situations. The articulations allow to follow
the ground surface contours, maintaining an even cutting height in
all its long range.
The cutting blades operates in an overlapped way, avoiding the
formation of non mowing strips.
Equipped with direction transmission. The gearboxes (multipliers
and divider) are protected by slip clutches; offering a larger lifetime
and low maintenance cost.
The heavy-duty structure possesses beams in the upper surface
of the rotary cutter, avoiding the earth accumulation in the lower
surface.
This instructions manual contains the necessary information
for the best performance of this rotary cutter. The operator must
carefully read the entire manual before working with the equipment.
