R160 DISC MOWER Mowing FAQs
How wide does the John Deere R160 disc mower cut?

The R160 needs at least 30 PTO hp at 540 rpm and attaches to a Category 1 or 2 3-point hitch. It is not quick-hitch compatible, and the lower hitch pins adjust over a 7 in. offset range for tractors with wider tire spacing.
What cutting angles can the John Deere R160 reach?
The R160 has a cutting arc of +35 degrees to -22 degrees. The cutterbar is raised and lowered hydraulically.
