INTRODUCTION
The Bush Hog RD5-RD6 Rotary Mower is designed for medium duty applications such as weed, grass, corn
stalks and light brush to 1” diameter. These mowers are single spindle with two free-swinging blades. Free
swinging blades reduce the shock of impact when a stationary object is hit. Additional protection is provided by
a shear bolt on the gearbox input shaft. These Mowers are attached to the tractor using 3-Point Cat I standard
hitch. Standard equipment includes driveline shields, clutch shields and front and rear discharge shields.
