The Rhino 172 Rotary Mower is designed for medium duty applications such as weed,
grass, corn stalks and light brush to 1-1/2” diameter. These mowers are single spindle
with two free-swinging blades. Free swinging blades reduce the shock of impact when a
stationary object is hit. Additional protection is provided by a slip clutch on the gearbox
input shaft. A round blade holder allows the mower to “ride over” stumps and similar
immovable objects. These Mowers are attached to the tractor using 3-Point Cat II or III
standard or quick hitches or pull hitches. Standard equipment includes driveline shields,
clutch shields and front and rear discharge shields.
