Adjusting the cutting height is easy, simply adjust a tractor's three-point linkage and move the support bar to the desired cutting height.

Break Link Break Link

The Mast brackets are connected to a free break link allowing the rotary cutter to follow the ground with the rear wheel, resulting in improved cut quality.

The laminated tire is longer lasting and provides more support when working in sandy or lighter soil conditions.
