INTRODUCTION
The FX318/FX212 heavy duty rotary Cutter is designed primarily for weeds, grass, and
brush to 3-1/2” diameter. The side skirts are 13-5/8” deep. This additional room under the
deck, along with high blade tip speeds allows for a better cut and better material flow.
The one piece center shield allows for easy and full access to drivelines, clutches and
gearboxes on the center section.
