Product description

A rotary cutter gearbox is the drive unit in a rotary cutter used to mow or cut tall grass, weeds, and other vegetation. It sends tractor power to the blades that cut the foliage, and it is built for the high torque and shock loads that occur while cutting. Gears are arranged to transmit power and reduce speed. In a typical layout, the tractor PTO drives a horizontal shaft into the gearbox. That speed reduction raises the torque available to turn the blades. Blade layout can vary by job. Gear ratios and internal layout can also vary with the application and the size of the machine. Oil seals and bearings are often included for reliable, long service. The gearbox design and construction matter for cutting vegetation in agriculture, forestry, landscaping, and roadside maintenance.
