WARNING: When using a quick hitch on a PTO driven implement, always ensure there is proper overlap prior to use. If there is not the minimum 6″ overlap, do not use. Contact your dealer to purchase a longer driveline.
Reversible hitch for front and rear mounting
Reversible three point hitch for front and rear tractor mounting.
Gearbox by BEFCO
Gearboxes are manufactured by BEFCO and always assembled with top of the line gears, bearings and seals to ensure years of trouble free usage.
Cast iron rotor supports
Rotor bearings are self-aligning insuring a longer lifespan (up to 30% longer than traditional roller bearings) and high resistance to heavy workloads.Our cast iron rotor supports are designed and built in-house and assembled using spherical self-aligning bearings
Belt shield fender
H70’s are equipped standard with belt shield fenders to protect the drive system from impacts with foreign objects.
Replaceable side skids
All units are delivered with replaceable side skids.
Clockwise rotor rotation
Clockwise rotor rotation allows cut debris to be thrown up and around the rotor and then straight down into the ground, reducing the risk caused by thrown objects.
Specific blades for any application
