The FX-742 heavy duty rotary Cutter is designed primarily for weeds, grass, and brush
to 2" diameter and consists of a center unit with two variable position wings together
having a cutting width of 42 feet (12.8 m). Wing operating angles and machine cutting
height are independently controlled using hydraulic cylinders. A self-leveling linkage
maintains a level cutter at all cutting heights. Power from the tractor PTO is split at the
power divider gearbox and supplied to each of the blade gearboxes. Each blade
gearbox has two free-swinging uplift blades designed to cut grass, corn stalks and light
brush. Free-swinging blades reduce the shock of impact when a stationary object is hit.
Slip clutches are installed on each gearbox for additional protection. Front and rear
discharge shields are included as standard equipment.
