Description
BRABER BE-RC6HDG Heavy-Duty 6 ft 3-Point PTO Rotary Cutter is a rough-cut mower designed for tractors up to 70 HP. Built for pasture grass and rough areas, this 72-inch rotary cutter combines a flexible floating Category 1 three-point hitch with a quick-hitch-compatible mounting system, a 540 RPM slip-clutch PTO driveline, and a 70 HP gearbox with stump protection. Its heavy-duty 4 mm top and side deck construction, two underside blades, adjustable cutting height, laminated tail wheel, and rear safety chain provide a practical setup for maintaining larger areas of grass and rough vegetation.
Heavy-Duty Cutting Performance
The BE-RC6HDG has a 72-inch cutting deck, also described as a 6 ft working width, helping cover a broad path with each pass. The cutter is designed for pasture grass and rough areas with material up to 1 inch in diameter. For heavier cutting conditions, the manufacturer’s operating guidance recommends approximately 3–5 mph, with the rear of the mower positioned about 2 inches higher than the front.
A 70 HP gearbox with stump protection supports the rotary cutter’s heavy-duty application. The 540 RPM slip-clutch PTO driveline is designed for tractors equipped with a 540 RPM PTO, while the slip-clutch design provides driveline protection during operation.
Durable Deck and Practical Features
The top and side deck are constructed from 4 mm material for a robust cutting platform. Two underside blades perform the cutting work, and the adjustable cutting height allows the cutter to be set for the intended mowing conditions. A heavy-duty laminated tail wheel supports the rear of the unit, while the rear safety chain adds a safety feature at the back of the mower.
