Everything You Need to Know About Rotary Cutters From Deere

Rotary cutters come in a wide range of sizes and configurations, but how do you know which one is right for you? Furthermore, how do you weigh the features against each other when you’re narrowing down your options? Luckily, John Deere has a wide array of rotary cutters to choose from, giving you one less thing to worry about as you look at the solutions available to you.


When Is a Rotary Cutter Needed?

Rotary cutters may be needed for several different applications. For instance, you may want this implement if you are handling a homestead and need to mow and trim along a wide swath of land; it is also extremely efficient for tall grasses, weeds, and brush. Farms and roadsides can benefit from rotary cutters, as they can tackle rough conditions. Furthermore, they can be extremely efficient for general livestock and property maintenance because of their ability to tackle rugged conditions.

What Types of Rotary Cutters are There?

Deere offers several rotary cutters that are designed to meet customers’ specific wants and needs. The Frontier RC20 Series Rotary Cutters, for instance, are ideal for small pastures, paddocks, food plots, and open acreage that need trimming. They have a rugged driveline and gearbox that are designed for years of use. Powder-coat paint also provides a long-lasting, scratch-resistant finish.

The MX Series from Deere has a double-deck design that delivers an ample amount of strength and material flow. There are five models, all of which are designed to zip through everything from tall grass to tough weeds and brush up to two inches in diameter.

Finally, there is the HX Series from Deere, which not only has double-deck strength, but more heavy duty features. For example, the HX Series models have a deeper cutting chamber and a fast blade-tip speed for improved performance.

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
