Rotary Cutter Two Spindle Rotary Cutters (6 to 7 foot width non-offset) to Reduce Length

[Spanky100]

I am looking for a 6 to 7 foot wide light duty Rotary Cutter. With a 6 to 7 foot single spindle rotary cutter the length from the 3 point pins to the tail wheel is longer then I would like to maneuver around. I see some offerings for two spindle rotary cutters in the heavy duty designs but not in the light duty designs.

Are two spindle non-offset light duty rotary cutters available in widths from 6 to 7 foot?

Thanks

Wayne

The Bush Hog SQ84T is the only two spindle cutter I know of. It's rated for up to 1-1/2" diameter brush, which makes it a medium light duty cutter in my mind.

If by "light duty" you mean "cheap", I don't think they exist. Keep in mind that on a dual spindle you're paying for an extra gearbox, driveshaft, blade carrier and blades.

I've never seen a 2 spindle 6 foot cutter. Even 6 foot finish mowers have 3 spindles.

Did not know Bush hog made a two spindle cutter that was 7'. Learned something new today, I thought all of the twin spindle brush mowers started at 8'.

Thanks for the information. The Bush Hog SQ84T is close to what I would like if it did not have the offset. The Woods D80 looks impressive at 1400 pounds. I would likie to stay below 1000 pounds Local dealer that sells both brands did not have either one in stock. Said he had order one SQ84T in the spring and it was sold by Memorial Day. Said they would likely order another one next spring and could order one anytime if I was going to purchase it. Likely due to the added cost over the single spindle machines they are not in high demand.

Thanks
