Standard DutyFrontier™ Rotary Cutters
With one of the most expansive lines of rotary cutters in the industry—and featuring the Flex Cutter—John Deere can equip you with just the right model for your operation. Property owners, agricultural producers, commercial operators and municipal contractors across the country rely on John Deere rotary cutter solutions to overcome the most challenging ground conditions. And so should you.
Our popular Frontier™ RC20 Series standard-duty rotary cutters offer property owners fast, reliable mowing and trimming along with budget-friendly pricing.
Featuring sturdy double-deck design and consistent material flow, medium-duty rotary cutters can tackle tall grasses, tough weeds and up to 2-in. (5.08 cm) brush.
For livestock operations and high-maintenance properties, heavy-duty rotary cutters provide double-deck design with thicker steel, stronger bearings and heavier drive components.
The Flex Cutter Series offers different models for tough farm conditions and grueling roadside work. The E Series is designed for homesteads and light ag producers, while the M Series is suited for larger property owners and ag producers. The R Series is built for commercial and municipal mowing.
