HX15, CX15, HX20, CX20 HEAVY-DUTY
FLEX-WING ROTARY CUTTERS
WARNING!
SAFETY CHAIN SHIELDING IS
AVAILABLE FOR ALL CUTTERS.
Because of the possibility of injury or
damage from thrown objects, improperly
used rotary cutters are potentially
dangerous. Optional Front and Safety
Shielding is strongly recommended
for deflecting objects when cutters
are used in a populated area or when
additional safety precautions are
needed. (Refer to Operator’s Manual
for owner’s responsibility and detailed
safety procedures.)

FEATURES
The HX15, CX15, HX20 and CX20 are 15-ft. and
20-ft., 3-section flex-wing rotary cutters suited for
applications ranging from pasture maintenance
and/or crop shredding to intensive, high-hour,
commercial roadside mowing.

THE HEAVY-DUTY HX15 AND HX20 ARE
MEANT FOR:
• Farmers and ranchers with large-acreage
pasture maintenance.
• Private, commercial or governmental grass
maintenance averaging approximately 300 hours
of annual usage for 10 years (i.e., 3,000-hour
machine life expectancy).
• The HX20 is also available as 13.5-ft. flex-wing
rotary cutter with a 6-in. blade overlap by
ordering as a 2-section flex wing with weight box
on the left side.

THE COMMERCIAL-DUTY CX15 AND CX20 ARE
MEANT FOR:
• Farmers and ranchers with very large-acreage
pasture maintenance and/or typically very hard
and very rough ground.
• Private, commercial or governmental grass
maintenance averaging approximately 500 hours
of annual usage for 10 years (i.e., 5,000 hour
machine life expectancy).
• The CX15 is also available as 10-ft., 2-section
flex-wing rotary cutter with a 6-in. blade overlap
and the CX20 as 13.5-ft., 2-section flex wing by
ordering with a weigth box in place of the left wing.
• Tractor with a minimum of 55 horsepower
(41 kW) is required to operate HX15 and CX15
Rotary Cutters. Drawbar must have minimum of
1,960 lb. static load rating for HX15 and 2,115 lb.
(960 kg) static load rating for CX15.Tractor with a
minimum of 75 horsepower (56 kW) is required to
operate HX20 and CX20 Rotary Cutters. Drawbar
must have minimum of 2,640 lb. (12 KN) static
load rating.
