FC15M ROTARY CUTTER Rotary Cutter FAQs

How wide does the John Deere FC15M rotary cutter mow?

The FC15M has a 15 ft cutting width and a cutting height range of 1 to 16 in. It folds to a 9.1 ft transport width at the wing wheels, measures 15.4 ft wide and 17.3 ft long overall and weighs about 5,035 lb.

Does the John Deere FC15M run on a 540 or 1000 rpm PTO?

You can order the FC15M for either a 540 or 1000 rpm PTO. Blade tip speed is 259.8 fps at 540 rpm and 284 fps at 1000 rpm, and the main driveline uses a CV joint for tight tractor turns with a no-seize slip clutch for protection.

How do the wings flex on the John Deere FC15M?

The wings flex up to 45 degrees upward and 22 degrees downward while working to follow uneven ground, and fold up 90 degrees for transport. Wing lift is simultaneous with spring-assisted unfolding, and the front tube on each wing lets you run over saplings.

What blades and deck does the John Deere FC15M use?

The FC15M uses 0.5 in. thick, 4 in. wide heat-treated blades on round stump jumpers, with a double blade bar available for extra shredding. It has a 10-gauge smooth-top deck that is easy to clean, a 10 in. cutting chamber depth and four gearcases backed by a 5-year gearbox warranty.

What hitch and suspension options are available on the John Deere FC15M?

Hitch choices include a self-leveling clevis hitch or a ball-type self-leveling hitch, both with a 22.5 in. narrow-profile width, or a swivel hitch. Spring suspension is standard with torsional suspension optional, and safety chains and lights come standard from the factory.
