Buying a Rotary Cutter
Rotary cutters are a helpful tool that farmers and ranchers use for cutting tall weeds, brush, and grass. This isn’t an easy task, so it takes a tough and durable machine to get the job done. Also known as brush hogs, these implements can be extremely useful for farmers who have rows and rows of crops to clean up before harvesting. These machines can also be used to clip pastures so there is more forage for livestock.
At Birkey’s Farm Store, we make it our goal to help our customers find the perfect machine to make their work and lives easier. That’s why we offer a great selection of rotary cutters for sale. We’ve also compiled the following list of tips for choosing the right machine for your needs. Read on, then give us a call at one of our multiple locations throughout Illinois and Indiana when you’re ready to buy!
The Size
The first consideration to make when buying a rotary cutter is the size. The most common sizes you’ll find are 12, 15, and 20 feet wide. You should check to see if your tractor has the necessary horsepower, balance, and ballast required for whatever you choose. A 12-foot model is best for a utility tractor with 50 to 80 hp. On the other hand, a 15-foot rotary cutter is made for tractors that have 75 hp and above. Finally, the 20-foot devices are often used by road maintenance crews that need a much higher horsepower.
The Terrain
Next, you’ll want to think about your land. If there are stitches, waterways, obstructions, or other obstacles, you’ll want to take that into consideration before buying a rotary cutter. For example, tough terrain may require a heavy-duty model. Lightweight ones can only handle small tree saplings whereas heavy-duty ones are meant for shredding corn stalks and wheat stubble.
Features
Finally, you should consider what kind of features you need on a rotary cutter. These features will depend on the work and the terrain. You may want a stump jumper pan that holds the blades. This pan will skim over the stump and prevent damage to the cutter. Deep deck chambers and tall side frames are ideal for cutting more material and driving through deep grass with less horsepower. It’s easier to maintain your rotary cutter if the gearbox is serviceable and the oil is easy to change.
We hope these helpful tips will make it easy for you to pick the perfect rotary cutter. If you need any more information, call us at Birkey’s Farm Store. We have convenient locations all throughout Illinois and Indiana, so stop by your nearest location today!
