Heavy-Duty and Commercial Rotary Cutters HX7
Overview:
The HX Series — double-deck strength, plus more heavy-duty features
These are the cutters for tough farm and roadside jobs. They feature the John Deere patented double-deck design, plus more steel and stronger bearings than the MX models. There are four non-folding heavy-duty models, including the all-new HX6 and HX7, all are ready to cut tall grasses, tough stalks, brush and saplings up to 4 inches (HX6 and HX7) in diameter.
The new HX6 and HX7 Rotary Cutters offer a number of key features of that are designed to give you clean, more consistent cutting. The deeper cutting chamber, for example, provides more lift to thoroughly cut and shred dense material. The fast blade-tip speed ensures clean cutting and fine shredding of even the toughest materials (HX6: 155 mph [250 km/h] and HX7: 183 mph [295 km/h]). The forward tip adjustment allows the cutter to be tilted forward slightly, so most of the cutting occurs in the front while the shredding action occurs toward the rear. This improves cutting performance and reduces the horsepower required to operate the rotary cutter. The tapered rear opening evenly spreads shredded material across the entire width of cut which reduces windrowing and leaves a uniform blanket of mulch. All this means that you get a clean, even cut. Every time. - Less

Features
1 Front and rear safety chain shields are standard. They deflect flying debris, yet let uncut material move easily into the cutter.
2 Since the lower deck absorbs dings from rocks and field obstructions, the upper deck stays smooth — free of dents and dings that attract rust. The curved top of the cutter sheds water and crop material.
3 The gearbox is mounted to a heavy-duty bowl support, which is continuously welded to the top and bottom decks. This design spreads the stresses and provides for a more reliable and durable gearbox.
4 The John Deere gearboxes are backed by a five-year limited warranty±. (See dealer for details.) Blades and drive components are protected by a tough, self-adjusting slip clutch.
5 This is the MaxFlow cutting chamber. It can slice and dice brush, plus lift dense grasses for a clean, even cut. The underside of the bottom deck is smooth, improving cutting performance and material flow.
6 Pan-type blade holder, or “stump jumper,” protects the gearbox output shaft from stumps, rocks, and other obstructions.
