John Deere MX5 Rotary Cutter MC – 618

The MX5, MX6, and MX7 rotary cutters feature a single-spindle configuration.The direction of blade rotation has been engineered to provide optimum cutter performance by maximizing vegetation lift and material distribution. The top deck is domed. Water, grass, and crop debris tend to roll off the deck, reducing water buildup and deck rust. The domed shape and smooth profile of the top deck also makes the deck easier to clean when trash does build up in adverse conditions.The bottom deck is the main defense against rocks and field debris. Therefore, the rear two-thirds of the top deck is continuously protected from impacts and will tend to retain its smooth form. Because the stiffeners are located between the two decks, most of the underside of the bottom deck is perfectly smooth; there are no structural frame members to interrupt airflow. This improves both cutting performance and distribution.
