Front and rear chain shields in basePower take-off (PTO) slip clutch and drive shaft storage in base
PTO clutches protect the gear box component against damage when blade rotation has stopped.
The drive holder that is incorporated into the frame, allows the PTO drive shaft to rest on the frame and not on the shop floor or ground. Providing more comfort and avoiding contamination from dirty floor and ground surfaces.
Durability and reliability
The RC40 Series cutters also comes with a three year limited gear box warranty, giving customers peace of mind regarding the heart of their rotary cutter.
