Benefits

• Steel frame is designed for extreme cutting
• Self-cleaning design keeps the deck clear of debris and is easier to clean and maintain

Self-cleaning cut with alternating bevel blades

Overview

• On the RS72 model, four alternating bevel blades are made of 19-mm (0.75-in.) thick high-grade steel in a reversible design, for a deep, self-clearing cut and long wear life. Heavy, flywheel-like blade carrier maintains inertia while cutting and enables mounting of optional stump-grinding carbide teeth.

Benefits

• Four alternating bevel blades provide a self-cleaning cut
• Blades are made of high-grade steel
• Features a reversible design for added blade life

Pressure gauge is standard option

Overview

• The highly visible pressure gauge allows the operator to monitor blade load for ideal performance

Benefits

• Prevents overheating and overloading
• Allows for increased productivity

Features for increased safety

Overview

• RS models have a retractable forward shield that rolls back to expose the entire cutting edge of each blade to larger trees and falls closed for processing material and minimizing flying debris.

Benefits

• Retractable forward shield protects the operator from flying debris
• Hydraulic valve stops blades from spinning within seconds upon shutdown
• Motor cover protects important components and connections from debris
