RC20 SERIES ROTARY CUTTERS Rotary Cutter FAQs

What models are in the John Deere RC20 Series rotary cutters?

The John Deere RC20 Series comes in four sizes that all share one balanced blade pan. The model shown in the specs has a 48 in. cutting width, a 51 in. overall width and a 512 lb operating weight. Our team can help you pick the size that fits your tractor.

What size tractor do I need for a John Deere RC20 Series rotary cutter?

The RC20 model in the specs is matched to tractors with 18 to 45 PTO hp and a 540 rpm PTO. It uses a lift-type Category 1 hitch that adapts to Category 2, and it is iMatch compatible. A low hitching point also allows a reversible front hitch for smaller or older tractors.

How high and how thick can the John Deere RC20 rotary cutter cut?

Cutting height adjusts from 1.5 in. to 9 in. by setting the tractor's three-point linkage and moving the support bar. The model in the specs cuts material up to 1 in. in diameter with heat-treated suction blades.

Is the John Deere RC20 rotary cutter easy to maneuver?

Yes. The round-back deck lets you get into tight corners and around trees and fences, and the flush front deck lets water and debris run off. A Z-profile lower lip adds strength, and deflectors come in rubber or chain on the front and metal or chain on the rear.

What tires and driveline protection does the John Deere RC20 use?

You can choose a laminated or solid rubber rear tire, and both are puncture resistant; the laminated tire lasts longer and gives more support in sandy or lighter soil. The driveline is protected by a shear bolt or slip clutch, and the RC20 carries a 1 year warranty.
