John Deere HX6

The HX Series — double-deck strength, plus more heavy-duty features

These are the cutters for tough farm and roadside jobs. They feature the John Deere patented double-deck design, plus more steel and stronger bearings than the MX models. There are four non-folding heavy-duty models, including the all-new HX6 and HX7, all are ready to cut tall grasses, tough stalks, brush and saplings up to 4 inches (HX6 and HX7) in diameter.

The new HX6 and HX7 Rotary Cutters offer a number of key features of that are designed to give you clean, more consistent cutting. The deeper cutting chamber, for example, provides more lift to thoroughly cut and shred dense material. The fast blade-tip speed ensures clean cutting and fine shredding of even the toughest materials (HX6: 155 mph [250 km/h] and HX7: 183 mph [295 km/h]). The forward tip adjustment allows the cutter to be tilted forward slightly, so most of the cutting occurs in the front while the shredding action occurs toward the rear. This improves cutting performance and reduces the horsepower required to operate the rotary cutter. The tapered rear opening evenly spreads shredded material across the entire width of cut which reduces windrowing and leaves a uniform blanket of mulch. All this means that you get a clean, even cut. Every time. - Less
