GENERAL INFORMATION
The BRADCO Rotary Cutters were designed to be easy to use and main-
tain. They are operated by the skid-steer auxiliary hydraulics. The cutters mount to
the toolbar / quick attach mechanism for easy mounting.
Unless noted otherwise, right and left are determined from the position of the
skid-steer operator sitting in the operator's seat facing forward.
Remember to read the "Safety Precautions" and "Operating Instructions"
sections of the manual BEFORE you attempt to install or use the rotary cutter.
