Built for Heavy-Duty Cutting
The BE-RC5HDG combines a 60-inch cutting deck with a 70 HP gearbox to provide a heavy-duty rotary cutting solution for compatible tractors. Its two-blade underside configuration is equipped with stump protection, helping protect the cutting system when working around supported ground conditions and obstacles.
The cutter’s heavy-duty deck and side beams provide the primary structural design for demanding use. The adjustable cutting height allows the operator to set the cutter for the intended application, while the flexible floating hitch helps the implement follow changing ground contours during operation.
Slip-Clutch PTO Driveline
The 540 RPM PTO system uses a slip clutch to provide driveline protection during operation. The PTO configuration is intended for tractors with a matching 540 RPM PTO and suitable Category 1 three-point equipment setup. The gearbox is rated for tractors up to 70 HP.
Hitch, Tail Wheel and Safety Equipment
The BRABER BE-RC5HDG uses a Category 1 three-point hitch and is compatible with Category 1 quick-hitch systems. A heavy-duty laminated tail wheel supports the rear of the cutter, while the flexible floating hitch contributes to the implement’s operating configuration. A rear safety chain is included as part of the cutter’s safety equipment.
