CX15 Rotary Cutter (15 ft and 10 ft)
CX15 4.6-m (15-ft) Rotary Cutter
The CX15 Flex-Wing Rotary Cutter was engineered for the toughest roadside mowing and commercial applications. It comes in the standard 4.6-m (15-ft) dual-wing configuration and also in a right-wing-only weight-box configuration.
The main difference between the CX15 and HX15 Flex-Wing is that the CX15 is a heavier, more durable rotary cutter that can handle the most challenging conditions and terrain for more frequent intervals and longer durations. Thicker deck, standard deck rings, ball clevis, independent wing hydraulics, larger tires, and the exclusive ground control suspension system make the CX15 a leader in strength and performance. A minimum of 55 PTO hp is required. The type and volume of material being cut and terrain affect horsepower requirements.
CX15 3.1-m (10-ft) Weight-Box Rotary Cutter
The CX15 3.1-m (10-ft) Weight-Box Rotary Cutter is designed from the CX15 base model and incorporates many of the same features but is specifically enhanced for roadside cutting. The left wing of the cutter is removed and replaced with a weight box to provide stability for the unit. This allows the tractor to be operated alongside the road for mowing the roadside.
Municipalities and commercial mowing operators utilize these units for roadside mowing where a full-sized unit is too wide and where the desired roadside cutting width is less. It is available in 540 rpm only.
