Rough terrain? Thick brush? The Tornado RHD rotary cutter takes them all on.
The Tornado RHD Rotary Cutter, a heavy-duty implement built for 50–100 HP tractors — is engineered to handle the toughest maintenance tasks on farms, right-of-ways, and rural land. Its rugged construction and powerful cutting capacity make it ideal for clearing thick grass, brush, saplings, and overgrown fields — turning rough land into manageable terrain.
With a cutting capacity of up to 3″ diameter material and adjustable cutting heights from 2″ to 8″, this rotary cutter delivers a clean, even cut over uneven ground. The floating top link design allows the deck to adapt to terrain variations, ensuring consistent contact and a quality finish, even over rough or undulating surfaces.
Durability and reliability are built in: a heavy-duty gearbox, slip-clutch protected PTO driveline, reinforced deck, and replaceable skids mean the cutter is designed for long-term use under demanding conditions. Protective chain shields, a laminated tail wheel, and a sturdy stump jumper add stability and help safeguard both machine and operator — making the Tornado RHD a dependable partner for landowners, contractors, and agricultural professionals handling tough cutting jobs.
