{"title":"Tractor Mower | Forge Claw","description":"\u003cp\u003eA tractor mower turns a long mowing day into a short one. Five acres of thick grass, a hilly property line, overgrown lot edges — one machine handles all of it from the seat. You get a front-mounted engine, a mid-mount cutting deck, and rear-wheel drive working together to cover ground at 4 to 6 MPH without burning out the operator. Contractors run them in fleets. Homeowners with 1 to 5+ acres rely on them every week. Municipal crews use them on parks, cemeteries, and school grounds year-round. The right tractor mower fits your property, your terrain, and your schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tractor-sickle-bar-mower-pto-20-75-hp","title":"Sickle Bar Mower for Tractors | Cat 1 \u0026 2 | 20–75 HP | PTO Driven 3 Point","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVideo Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video\" style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4jG1Z76rM_w\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis PTO-driven sickle bar mower is built for 20–75 HP Category 1 and 2 tractors, delivering clean, controlled cutting for field edges, ditches, and conservation areas. When you're maintaining fence lines, clearing ditch banks, or cutting hay in terrain that doesn't exactly cooperate, you need a mowing solution that can handle the angles and the abuse. The BEFCO BSB Sickle Bar Mower is built for that kind of work. Designed to cut cleanly at angles up to 90 degrees upward and 55 degrees downward, this isn't just a hay mower — it's a versatile cutting tool for anyone managing conservation acreage, pond edges, steep slopes, or overgrown rights-of-way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable through Forge Claw with free nationwide shipping, the BSB series brings together thoughtful engineering and practical field performance. It's a PTO-driven implement that mounts to your Category I or II three-point hitch, making it compatible with tractors ranging from 20 to 75 horsepower. That flexibility means whether you're running a compact utility tractor or something a bit heavier, you've got options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double-action sickle bar design is where this mower really sets itself apart. Both the sickle blades and the teeth move in opposite directions, which means material doesn't jam up the way it does on single-action systems. You're not stopping every few hundred feet to clear out tangled grass or vines. You're moving through the job at speeds up to 9 mph, getting more done in less time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO equipped the BSB with a cylinder stop mechanism that lets you raise the cutting bar using just your tractor's hydraulic system. That's a huge convenience when you're turning around at the end of a row or navigating between obstacles. You don't have to mess with the three-point hitch every time you need to lift the bar. Flip the lock, raise it hydraulically, make your turn, and keep going. It's one of those features that doesn't sound like much until you've spent a day in the seat — then it becomes something you wouldn't want to work without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BSB is offered in three working widths: 72 inches, 84 inches, and 96 inches. All three models share the same power requirements and operating features, so you're choosing based on the width that matches your job, not compromising on capability. The 72-inch model weighs 628 pounds, the 84-inch comes in at 650 pounds, and the 96-inch tips the scale at 672 pounds. These are solid, well-built implements that feel substantial without being unnecessarily heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForge Claw has made this mower available to contractors, landowners, and agricultural operators across the country because it solves real problems. If you've ever tried to mow a ditch bank with a rotary cutter, you know the limitations. The BSB lets you work angles that would be dangerous or impossible with other equipment. It's equally at home cutting clean hay in a field or knocking down brush along a creek bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail worth mentioning: BEFCO includes an extra cutting blade with every unit. That's not just a nice gesture — it's practical. When you're working in rough conditions, having a spare blade on hand means you're not waiting on a parts order to get back to work. It's the kind of thing that shows the manufacturer understands how this equipment gets used in the real world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hydraulic lift system includes a flow adjustment valve, so you can control how quickly the cutting bar lowers. That matters when you're working uneven ground or need to ease the bar down gently to avoid hitting obstacles. The transport lock bar secures the cutting bar for road travel, and a blade guard comes standard to protect the sickle during transport. These aren't flashy features, but they're the details that make daily operation safer and more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO designed this mower to handle a variety of vegetation types. Tall grass, weeds, light brush, and everything in between. The serrated tooth sections are heavy-duty and bolt-on, spaced at 2 inches instead of the 3-inch spacing you'll find on many other designs. That tighter spacing means fewer rocks wedging between blades and fewer breakdowns in the field. The sections are also easier to replace when wear finally catches up with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connecting rods are cast aluminum with cooling fins. That reduces the weight of moving parts and helps dissipate heat faster, which extends component life. The rods use sealed bearings that never need greasing — one less maintenance task to remember. Small details like this add up over the course of a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring-loaded upper blade guides keep the blades from overheating and make blade replacement quicker and easier. When you're out in the field and a blade needs swapping, you'll appreciate how straightforward BEFCO made the process. The evenly spaced skids along the cutting bar prevent bowing and reduce metal fatigue. Other designs put skids only at the ends, which allows the bar to flex more under load. BEFCO's approach distributes the load more evenly, which translates to fewer stress-related failures over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe belt tensioning system deserves a mention too. You can verify correct belt tension without removing the belt shield. That makes routine checks faster and means you're more likely to actually do them. Proper belt tension keeps the mower running efficiently and extends belt life, so anything that makes it easier to check is a win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mower is compatible with ASABE Category I quick hitches, which means you're not fumbling with pins and adjustments every time you hook up. If your tractor has a quick hitch, the BSB will work with it — just make sure you've got the required 6-inch overlap on the PTO driveline. If you don't, you'll need a longer driveline. It's a safety issue, not something to shortcut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForge Claw stands behind every BEFCO product we distribute.

You can tackle steep ditch banks, pond edges, and roadside slopes without repositioning your tractor or risking a rollover. That means you're covering more ground in less time and taking on maintenance contracts that would otherwise require specialized equipment or hand tools. The time savings alone can pay for the mower over the course of a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability translates directly to lower operating costs. The heavy-duty serrated tooth sections with 2-inch spacing mean fewer blade breakages and less downtime. The evenly spaced skids prevent the cutting bar from flexing under load, which reduces metal fatigue and extends the life of the entire unit. When components do need replacement, they're bolt-on parts that you can swap in the field without specialized tools or a trip to the shop. That's less time out of service and more time earning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double-action sickle bar keeps material flowing through the cutting zone without jamming. You're not stopping every few passes to clear wrapped grass or tangled vines. At working speeds up to 9 mph, you're covering acres efficiently while still getting a clean cut. That productivity boost is noticeable when you're facing tight deadlines or trying to beat incoming weather. The faster you can complete a job without sacrificing cut quality, the more jobs you can take on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydraulic operation of the cutting bar — independent of the three-point hitch — makes a real difference in operator fatigue and job efficiency. When you're making dozens of turns in a day, not having to fuss with hitch controls every single time saves energy and keeps you focused on the work. The flow adjustment valve gives you precise control over lowering speed, so you can ease the bar down gently when working around obstacles or drop it quickly in open areas. It's the kind of operator-focused design that makes long days more manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included spare cutting blade and the ease of blade replacement mean you're prepared for unexpected wear or damage. When a blade does need changing, the spring-loaded upper guides make the job quick enough that it doesn't eat up your afternoon. You're back to work faster, which keeps jobs on schedule and customers happy. For contractors billing by the hour or the acre, minimizing downtime directly impacts profitability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO's sealed bearing connecting rods eliminate a regular maintenance task. You're not greasing fittings on a schedule, and you're not dealing with the mess and time that comes with it. The cast aluminum construction with cooling fins keeps operating temperatures lower, which extends bearing life and reduces the chance of a mid-job failure. Less maintenance and fewer breakdowns mean more uptime and lower total cost of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BSB's versatility means you're getting a tool that handles multiple job types. Cutting hay, maintaining rights-of-way, clearing conservation acreage, trimming hedgerows — this one implement covers a range of applications that would otherwise require multiple pieces of equipment or different contractors. For landowners, that's a solid return on investment. For contractors, it's the ability to bid on a wider variety of jobs with equipment you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mower is ideal for farm owners managing hayfields and pastures, contractors maintaining municipal or utility rights-of-way, landowners with conservation acreage or CRP ground, and anyone responsible for keeping ditch banks, pond edges, or steep slopes under control. It's equally suited to agricultural production and land maintenance applications. If you're working in terrain where angles matter and standard rotary cutters fall short, the BSB is worth serious consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility with both Category 1 and Category 2 three-point hitches and a wide horsepower range (20-75 HP) means this mower works with most compact and utility tractors. Before operation, verify that your tractor's PTO operates at 540 RPM and that you have a hydraulic remote available for the cutting bar lift cylinder. If you're using a quick hitch, confirm that there's at least 6 inches of overlap on the PTO driveline. If not, contact Forge Claw or your local dealer for a longer driveline — this is a safety requirement, not optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating best practices include checking belt tension regularly using the easy-access inspection system. Proper tension keeps the sickle bar running efficiently and prevents premature belt wear. Before each use, inspect the cutting bar for loose or damaged tooth sections and replace any worn blades. The transport lock bar should always be engaged when moving between job sites, and the blade guard should be in place to protect the sickle during road travel. These simple steps prevent damage and keep the mower ready to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoutine maintenance is straightforward. Keep the hydraulic cylinder clean and inspect hoses for wear or damage. The sealed bearings in the connecting rods don't require greasing, but a visual inspection now and then is good practice. Store the mower under cover when not in use to protect it from the elements. With basic care and attention, this mower will deliver years of reliable service across a wide range of cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured by BEFCO, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.

BEFCO manufactures the gearbox in-house and equips it with spiral gears rather than straight-cut gears. This design choice improves power transmission efficiency, reduces operational noise, and extends the life of internal components. The gearbox features cooling fins to manage heat during extended mowing sessions, and the entire assembly is built to withstand the demands of commercial and agricultural use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting system uses three heavy-duty blades per deck, spinning at optimized rotor speeds to maintain blade tip speeds between 16,300 and 16,900 feet per minute across all three models. This consistent tip speed ensures a clean, even cut regardless of which width you choose. The adjustable cutting height ranges from one inch to five inches, allowing you to adapt to different grass types and ground conditions without switching equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour rubber swivel tires with sealed bearings support the deck and guarantee a perfectly level cut across uneven terrain. These tires mount to stamped steel reinforced wheel arms that attach with eight bolts each, creating a rigid connection that maintains consistent cutting height even when crossing ditches or mowing rolling pastures. The wheel arms themselves are engineered from stamped steel rather than bent tubing, providing superior strength and resistance to flexing under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelt-driven mowers often struggle with maintenance and tension issues, but the CYCLONE C50 addresses this with a manual belt tensioning system and dual heavy-duty SPBX belts. Unlike spring-loaded tensioners that stretch belts over time and require seasonal removal, the manual tensioner maintains constant pressure without causing premature wear. The two-belt configuration provides over 180 degrees of contact around all pulleys, distributing load evenly and reducing the frequency of belt replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpindle maintenance is simplified through top-mounted axial grease fittings.

The stamped steel wheel arms and eight-bolt mounting system hold adjustment settings reliably, even when crossing ditches or mowing rolling pastures. You set your cutting height at the beginning of the job and focus on mowing rather than equipment adjustments. The top-mounted grease fittings cut maintenance time significantly since you can service spindle bearings without crawling under the deck or removing shields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability directly affects your bottom line by reducing replacement costs and downtime. The spiral gear gearbox manufactured by BEFCO distributes load more evenly than straight-cut gears, which means internal components last longer under the stress of commercial mowing. Cast iron pulleys resist damage when you need to change belts or perform service, while stamped steel wheel arms hold up to impacts that would bend or crack tubular designs. The manual belt tensioner eliminates the spring fatigue and stretching issues common with automatic systems, so belts maintain proper tension season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProductivity improves when you can cover more ground per pass and spend less time on adjustments. The 72-inch and 84-inch models let you mow large acreage efficiently without sacrificing cut quality. Consistent blade tip speeds across all three widths mean you get the same professional finish whether you're running the compact 60-inch model around tight spaces or the wide 84-inch deck across open fields. The reversible hitch allows front mounting when you need to see the cutting path clearly or rear mounting for better tractor balance and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersatility extends the useful life of your investment by adapting to different jobs and conditions. Switch between standard blades for typical mowing, high-lift blades for tall or wet grass, low-lift blades for sandy conditions, or mulching blades when you want to return nutrients to the soil. Add the optional front anti-scalp roller when mowing rolling terrain or landscaped areas. The ability to mount front or rear means the same mower handles finish mowing lawns, maintaining pastures, grooming sports fields, and clearing right-of-ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating costs stay low when belts last longer, bearings need less frequent replacement, and gearbox components maintain integrity through years of use. The dual SPBX belt system with manual tensioning means you're replacing belts on a predictable schedule based on actual wear rather than spring fatigue or stretching. Top-accessible grease points reduce service time, which matters whether you're maintaining the equipment yourself or paying a technician. The four swivel tires with sealed bearings float over terrain while protecting internal bearing surfaces from contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut quality remains consistent because the engineering focuses on maintaining blade speed and deck position regardless of ground conditions. The blade tip speeds stay within a tight range across all three models, delivering the same clean finish whether you're running 60 inches or 84 inches of cutting width. Four independently swiveling support tires keep the deck level as terrain changes, preventing scalping on high spots or missed strips in low areas. The reinforced wheel arms resist flexing that would alter cutting height mid-pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfidence comes from running equipment built by a manufacturer that designs and produces critical components in-house rather than assembling purchased parts. BEFCO manufactures the gearbox and engineers solutions like retained height pins and top-mounted grease fittings based on real-world operator feedback.

The three width options cover compact tractors from 20 HP through mid-size machines up to 50 HP, making this mower adaptable to different fleet configurations. Operators who maintain varied properties benefit from the reversible hitch design, which allows front mounting for visibility when trimming around obstacles or rear mounting for stability when covering open acreage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTractor compatibility centers on the Category 1 three-point hitch and 540 RPM PTO operation. Match the mower width to your tractor's horsepower rating for optimal performance. The 60-inch model works with 20 to 50 HP tractors, the 72-inch model requires 25 to 50 HP, and the 84-inch model needs 30 to 50 HP. When using a quick hitch, verify at least six inches of PTO shaft overlap before operation. If overlap is insufficient, contact your dealer about a longer driveline rather than operating the equipment outside safe parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating practices that extend mower life include checking belt tension before each season, greasing spindles according to the schedule in the operator's manual, and inspecting blades for damage after mowing areas with hidden debris. The manual belt tensioner should maintain firm tension without over-tightening, which you can verify by checking belt deflection. Keep the gearbox oil level topped off and monitor for leaks around seals. Clean grass buildup from under the deck periodically to prevent moisture retention and corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance requirements are straightforward and focus on lubrication, belt condition, and blade sharpness. Grease the spindles from the top-mounted fittings regularly, especially during heavy use periods. Inspect belts for cracking, glazing, or fraying and replace both belts as a set when either shows wear. Sharpen or replace blades when cut quality declines or when you notice the mower working harder to maintain ground speed. Check wheel bearings for smooth rotation and replace if you detect roughness or play. Store the mower under cover when possible and touch up any paint chips to prevent rust from starting on the deck or frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured by BEFCO, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.

The reversible hitch lets you reconfigure mounting without purchasing additional equipment or adapters. Quick hitch compatibility further reduces setup time when you're switching between implements during the workday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProductivity improves when you're running equipment that can handle diverse conditions without compromising cut quality. The free-swinging blade system means you don't need to slow down or make multiple passes when transitioning from maintained turf to areas with thicker growth. The wide cutting swaths of both models let you cover more ground in less time, and the four swivel tires maintain cut quality even when terrain gets rough or uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability advantages show up in the details throughout the C70's construction. The highly engineered gearbox with cooling fins handles sustained operation in hot conditions without overheating. The heavy-duty shielded PTO shaft transfers power reliably without the flex or vibration that causes premature wear in lighter-duty systems. The reinforced wheel arms and eight-bolt attachment points eliminate the structural failures that sideline competing mowers during peak season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hybrid design philosophy of the C70 gives you genuine versatility rather than forcing you to compromise. You get finish-quality cuts on groomed areas and brush-cutting capability when you encounter overgrowth, all with the same implement. This eliminates the need to own and maintain separate mowers for different applications, reducing your equipment costs and simplifying your operation. The ability to mount front or rear further extends the range of jobs you can tackle efficiently with one piece of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CYCLONE C70 is ideal for contractors maintaining municipal properties, golf courses, parks, and large commercial landscapes. Ranch and farm owners will appreciate the ability to groom pastures while handling fence line maintenance and brush clearing. Landscaping professionals can deliver high-quality finish cuts on expansive properties while managing transitional areas that need heavier cutting power. The mower's power range makes it compatible with most mid-size tractors commonly used in these applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using a quick hitch with any PTO-driven implement, including the C70, always verify proper overlap before operation. You need a minimum of 6 inches of overlap for safe, reliable power transfer. If your setup doesn't provide adequate overlap, contact Forge Claw to discuss longer driveline options before operating the equipment. This simple check prevents serious damage and ensures safe operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating the C70 effectively means matching your ground speed to conditions and cutting height to the desired finish. The mower performs best at consistent speeds that allow the blades to process material cleanly without overloading the drive system. Adjust cutting height before beginning work rather than trying to change settings mid-pass. When transitioning from maintained areas to heavier brush, reduce ground speed to give the free-swinging blades time to process thicker material without bogging down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoutine maintenance focuses on keeping spindles properly greased and monitoring belt tension. The axial grease fittings make lubrication straightforward, and the manual belt tensioner makes it easy to verify proper tension during pre-operation checks. Inspect blades periodically for wear and replace them as needed to maintain cut quality and reduce vibration. The cast iron pulleys require minimal maintenance but benefit from occasional inspection to ensure they remain free of debris that could affect belt tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured by BEFCO, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.

The BEFCO CYCLONE FLEX gang grooming mower is built for operators who need professional-grade cutting performance across wide areas without wasting time navigating around obstacles. Whether you're maintaining parks, golf courses, commercial properties, large estates, or agricultural fields, this pull-type mower delivers exceptional productivity with its innovative frame design and constant velocity driveline that lets you circle trees and obstacles in a single pass. That's not marketing talk—it's a real advantage that saves hours over the course of a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in three working widths—12, 15, and 17 feet—the CYCLONE FLEX adapts to your specific needs and tractor horsepower. The 312-FLXH handles 25-80 HP tractors with a 12-foot cutting width and can cover approximately 8 acres per hour at 6 mph. Step up to the 315-FLXH for 15 feet of coverage at 10 acres per hour, or choose the 317-FLXH with its 17-foot width capable of mowing 12 acres per hour.

The individual mower gearboxes are also BEFCO-built and feature spiral gears that deliver better power transmission, reduced noise levels, and extended service life compared to straight-cut gears. This isn't assembly-line equipment with off-the-shelf components—it's engineered and manufactured by BEFCO to meet the demands of commercial mowing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat really sets the CYCLONE FLEX apart is the completely independent free-floating deck design with a unique double-pivot floating linkage. Each mowing deck moves independently, front to back and side to side, following ground contours precisely even on uneven terrain. Twelve rubber tires with sealed bearings—four per deck—ensure a perfectly level cut across the entire width. The stamped steel reinforced wheel arms are attached with eight bolts and maintain consistent cutting height far better than the bent tubing arms found on many mowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescoping wing system is another practical feature that makes a difference on the job. You can adjust the cutting width to increase or decrease mower overlap depending on conditions, giving you flexibility to adapt to different terrain or grass types without changing equipment. When it's time to transport, the single-action hydraulic folding wing system makes quick work of setup and breakdown. Maximum transport width is just 8 feet 4 inches across all models, with heights ranging from 74 to 103 inches depending on configuration. That means you can move between sites on public roads and navigate narrow gates or bridges without special permits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO equips each deck with two heavy-duty reinforced SPBX belts and a manual belt tensioning system that maintains constant tension without the stretching issues common with spring-loaded idlers. This design extends belt life significantly and eliminates the need to disassemble tensioners at season's end to prevent winter storage damage. The belts provide over 180 degrees of pulley coverage, reducing slippage and wear. Heavy-duty cast iron pulleys are individually balanced for smooth operation and won't deform when serviced like stamped steel or plastic alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting height adjusts from 1 to 5 inches with simple spacer changes on the wheel yokes. BEFCO designed custom pins that stay securely fastened even when brushing against obstacles—no more lost cotter pins, spacers, or wheel yokes from contact with vegetation. The front antiscalp rollers come standard on all models to prevent gouging when traversing dips or rises. Hexagonal yokes on the front tires of the rear mower deck prevent sliding when working on slopes, maintaining consistent overlap and cut quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have a choice between solid tires (10\"x3.2\") or pneumatic tires (11\"x4\") for the mower decks, depending on your preference and terrain. High flotation transport tires (20.5\"x8\"x10\") carry the frame smoothly across fields without compacting soil excessively. All transport wheels feature genuine Bearing Buddy bearing protectors that make it easy to visually check grease levels. The internal spring piston maintains about 3 PSI against the grease, preventing moisture intrusion and eliminating condensation issues during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety features include chain shielding to protect operators and bystanders from thrown debris, remote safety locks for secure local transport, and deck kick-out attachments that prevent damage if the mower strikes a hidden obstacle. The slip clutch in the main driveline provides overload protection for both the tractor PTO and the mower gearboxes. Single-unit drivelines between decks include shear pin safety devices as an additional layer of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is straightforward thanks to thoughtful engineering. Spindles are equipped with axial grease fittings that let you grease from the top without removing belt shields—a small detail that saves significant time over a season. The manual belt tensioner design means no springs to replace or adjust. Cast iron pulleys don't require the careful handling that stamped components demand during service.

When you're managing large properties, maintaining parks, grooming athletic fields, or keeping farm pastures in top shape, you need a mower that covers serious ground without compromising cut quality. The BEFCO CYCLONE SUPER-FLEX gang grooming mower delivers exactly that. Designed for tractors ranging from 35 to 80 HP and running at 540 rpm, this pull-type mower offers working widths from 12 to 20 feet, allowing you to handle anywhere from 8 to 15 acres per hour at 6 mph depending on your model choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this mower apart is its ability to work around obstacles with genuine efficiency. The frame design paired with BEFCO's constant velocity driveline allows the CYCLONE SUPER-FLEX to circle trees and obstacles in a single pass. You're not backing up, repositioning, or making multiple attempts to get a clean finish around landscaping features or fence posts. That's real-world time savings that adds up over the course of a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO manufactures both the heavy-duty main four-way gearbox and the individual mower gearboxes in-house, equipping them with SKF bearings and spiral gears. This isn't just marketing language. Spiral gears provide better power transmission than straight-cut gears, last longer under sustained loads, and run quieter throughout the workday. When you're spending hours in the seat, that reduction in noise and vibration makes a noticeable difference in operator comfort and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CYCLONE SUPER-FLEX isn't a single-deck mower stretched wide. It's a true gang mower system with completely independent free-floating decks that follow ground contours individually. Each deck uses a unique double-pivot floating linkage that allows side-to-side and front-to-back movement independent of the others. This means you get a consistent, professional-grade cut even when terrain changes from flat to rolling, from compacted soil to softer turf, or when crossing drainage swales and slight depressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach mowing deck rides on four pneumatic tires—13 inches by 6.5 inches—with maintenance-free sealed bearings. That's 12 tires total across the three decks on most models, all supporting the mower independently and maintaining a level cutting plane regardless of what the transport frame is doing. The wide, high-flotation tires distribute weight evenly, reduce turf compaction, and help you maintain traction and cut quality in softer conditions where heavier units might sink or leave ruts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescoping wing design is another practical feature that separates this mower from simpler gang setups. You can adjust the cutting width to increase or decrease mower overlap based on conditions. If you're working in particularly thick or tall grass, you can increase overlap for a cleaner finish. When conditions are ideal and growth is moderate, you can reduce overlap to maximize your effective cutting width and boost productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree front antiscalp rollers come standard, helping prevent the leading edge of the decks from digging into uneven ground or catching on small rises. It's a simple feature, but one that protects both your turf and your equipment when you're moving at speed across varied terrain. The stamped steel wheel arms—reinforced and attached with eight bolts each—are stronger than bent tubing alternatives and maintain consistent deck height across the entire cutting width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual belt tensioning is a feature that might not sound exciting until you understand the alternative. Spring-loaded idlers stretch belts over time and often require disassembly during winter storage to prevent permanent belt deformation. BEFCO's manual tensioner maintains constant tension without stretching, extending belt life and eliminating seasonal maintenance headaches. The double belt transmission with two heavy-duty reinforced SPBX belts per deck provides over 180 degrees of pulley coverage, reducing slippage and belt wear even under heavy loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransport is straightforward thanks to the single-action hydraulic folding wing system. You can fold the mower for transport or storage quickly without leaving the tractor seat. Transport widths range from 91 inches on the 12-foot model up to 114 inches on the 20-foot model, with heights from 74 to 116 inches. These compact dimensions let you move between job sites on narrow roads, cross older bridges, and navigate through gates or under low clearances that would stop wider implements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main transport frame uses high-flotation transport tires measuring 23 inches by 10.5 inches by 12 inches, and they're equipped with genuine Bearing Buddy bearing protectors. These protectors make it easy to visually confirm grease levels and use internal spring pressure to keep moisture out of the hubs. Proper maintenance means no voids where condensation can form during off-season storage, which translates to longer bearing life and fewer unexpected failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety features are built in, not added as afterthoughts. Chain shields protect operators and bystanders from thrown debris. Remote safety locks secure the wings during local transport and prevent accidental deployment. The constant velocity driveline includes an ASAE category 6 slip clutch that protects the entire drivetrain if a blade strikes an immovable object. Individual drivelines to each deck use shear pins as an additional failsafe, sacrificing an inexpensive pin rather than expensive gears or shafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO also addressed a small but persistent frustration: pins that fall out. Traditional cotter pins are easily knocked loose when brushing against obstacles, leading to lost pins, lost height adjustment spacers, and sometimes even lost wheel yokes. BEFCO designed a pin system that stays securely fastened under nearly any field condition, saving you from mid-job repairs and parts replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForge Claw is proud to distribute BEFCO equipment because it's built by people who understand what operators actually need in the field. This isn't equipment designed in a vacuum by engineers who've never run a mower across 50 acres of pasture or around a park full of mature trees. It's designed, manufactured, and refined based on real-world use, and it shows in details like axial grease fittings that let you service spindles from the top without removing belt shields, or hexagonal yokes on the rear deck's front tires that prevent sliding on slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a municipal parks department maintaining athletic fields and green spaces, a landscaping contractor managing HOA common areas, a ranch owner keeping pastures groomed and productive, or a facility manager responsible for large campus grounds, the CYCLONE SUPER-FLEX delivers the combination of productivity, cut quality, and durability you need. It's available in four models—12-foot, 15-foot, 17-foot, and 20-foot working widths—so you can match the mower to your acreage, tractor horsepower, and specific applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForge Claw offers free nationwide shipping on this mower, and we back it with the kind of customer service that keeps operators coming back.

The zero-turn capability means you're making productive passes around obstacles instead of backing up, realigning, and trimming later with a smaller mower. On properties with mature landscaping, playground equipment, or scattered fence posts, this single feature can cut your mowing time by 20 percent or more compared to mowers that require multiple approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe independent floating deck system delivers professional-grade results across terrain that would challenge fixed-frame mowers. When one deck encounters a rise or depression, it adjusts independently without affecting the other decks or creating visible streaking in the finished cut. This means you can maintain a consistent 2-inch cutting height across rolling pasture, drainage swales, or athletic fields with crown drainage, all at full working speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability translates directly to lower operating costs over the mower's lifespan. BEFCO's decision to manufacture gearboxes in-house and equip them with SKF bearings and spiral gears means these components handle sustained loads season after season. Spiral gears distribute forces more evenly than straight-cut gears, reducing wear on gear teeth and extending service intervals. The manual belt tensioning system prevents the premature belt wear that plagues spring-loaded systems, and cast iron pulleys withstand the stresses of repeated belt changes without cracking or deforming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProductivity improvements come from both cutting width and operational efficiency. A 20-foot model covering 15 acres per hour at 6 mph allows a single operator to maintain large properties in a fraction of the time required by smaller mowers. The hydraulic wing folding system means you're not wasting 15 minutes at each location manually folding and securing wings. You fold, transport, unfold, and you're cutting again in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real-world value shows up in reduced callbacks and rework. When you're maintaining municipal parks or commercial properties, a missed strip around a tree or an uneven cut across a slope means sending a crew back to fix it. The combination of zero-turn maneuverability and truly independent floating decks eliminates most of those quality issues on the first pass. Your reputation stays intact, your clients stay satisfied, and your crew stays productive instead of redoing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance requirements are straightforward and designed for field conditions. Axial grease fittings on spindles let you service them from the top without removing shields or crawling underneath. The pin system that actually stays in place means you're not constantly replacing lost hardware or hunting for dropped spacers in tall grass. Bearing Buddy protectors on transport wheel hubs give you visual confirmation of grease levels and keep moisture out during storage, preventing the bearing failures that sideline equipment at the start of busy seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturn on investment accelerates when you factor in the combination of higher productivity, lower maintenance costs, and extended equipment life.

Lower cutting heights in spring when growth is vigorous provide better results than trying to cut tall growth in a single pass. Use the telescoping wing adjustment to increase overlap in thick or wet conditions, and reduce overlap in ideal conditions to maximize your effective width. Monitor belt tension periodically and adjust the manual tensioners as needed to maintain proper belt engagement without over-tensioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular maintenance extends equipment life significantly.

The rotor itself spins at 1,961 RPM, generating blade tip speeds of 8,268 feet per minute. That velocity combined with heavy 2-pound hammer blades creates the cutting force needed to shred saplings, thick brush, and woody vegetation down to 3\/4 inch or leave material at a taller 5-inch height depending on your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D90-060 comes equipped with 16 hammer blades, the D90-072 with 20, and the D90-088 with 24. More hammers mean more cutting edges engaging material simultaneously, which translates to cleaner cuts and faster work. The clockwise rotor rotation isn't an arbitrary choice—it directs cut debris up and around the rotor before depositing it straight down into the ground. This pattern minimizes the risk of throwing rocks or debris laterally, a critical safety feature when you're working near buildings, vehicles, or livestock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight adjustment is simple and mechanical. The rear roller raises or lowers to set your cutting height from 3\/4 inch for tight finishing work to 5 inches for initial brush knockdown. The roller itself measures 6 5\/8 inches in diameter with 3\/16-inch thick tubing and includes a scraper to prevent material buildup. It's a straightforward system that holds settings reliably without constant adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotor diameter sits at 5 1\/4 inches with 5\/16-inch thick tubing. This robust construction handles the continuous impacts from cutting dense material and occasional encounters with rocks or roots.

The hydraulic side-shift alone eliminates dozens of repositioning maneuvers per acre when you're working around fence lines, buildings, or tree rows. That time savings adds up quickly on larger properties or when you're managing multiple sites. You finish jobs faster, which means you can take on more work or reclaim your weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability translates directly to lower operating costs over the shredder's lifetime. BEFCO's decision to manufacture their own gearboxes and rotor supports means these components are engineered for this specific application rather than adapted from generic parts bins. You'll spend less time on repairs and parts replacement, and when service is needed, you're working with components backed by the manufacturer who designed them. The heavy-duty XPBX belt system is straightforward to inspect and replace when needed, without specialized tools or dealer service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front and rear mounting capability extends this shredder's utility beyond what single-mount units can achieve. Front mounting gives you clear visibility when working tight rows in vineyards or orchards, while rear mounting is ideal for open pasture work where you need maximum stability on slopes. This versatility means one attachment handles jobs that might otherwise require two specialized pieces of equipment, reducing your capital investment and storage requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial processing quality affects your property's appearance and future maintenance needs. The D90's hammer blade design and high tip speed create finer mulch that decomposes faster and feeds the soil more effectively than material left in coarse chunks. When you're clearing brush or maintaining set-aside fields, this thorough processing reduces fire hazards and creates better conditions for regrowth management. The result is better-looking properties and less follow-up work down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-inch cutting capacity handles most of the woody growth you'll encounter without requiring hand clearing or multiple passes. Small saplings, volunteer trees, and thick brush go down in a single pass, keeping you productive instead of stopping to clear obstacles manually. This capability is particularly valuable when reclaiming neglected areas or maintaining fire breaks where mixed vegetation is the norm rather than the exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydraulic offset operation from the tractor seat means you control the cutting width dynamically as conditions change. When you encounter a boulder, stump, or other obstacle, you shift the deck without dismounting or backing up. This on-the-fly adjustment maintains work rhythm and prevents the kind of interruptions that turn half-day jobs into full-day affairs. For anyone managing diverse terrain with natural obstacles, this feature delivers measurable productivity gains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe safety aspects of clockwise rotor rotation shouldn't be overlooked.

When you're managing pastures, clearing fence lines, or maintaining right-of-ways, you need a rotary cutter that shows up ready to work without costing you downtime or constant repairs. The BEFCO TORNADO BRC Series delivers exactly that. These standard-duty rotary cutters are built for tractors in the 20 to 60 HP range, engineered to handle light to moderate brush, tall grass, and overgrowth across farms, rural properties, and municipal landscapes. They're the kind of equipment that earns its keep season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the TORNADO BRC apart is the fully welded deck construction. BEFCO didn't cut corners here. This isn't a bolted-together assembly that rattles loose after a few hard days in the field. The welded round-back design means the frame holds its integrity under load, absorbs impact better, and lasts longer. You get a cutter that stays tight and reliable whether you're working rocky hillsides or smoothing out overgrown pasture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floating 3-point hitch is another feature that makes a real difference on uneven terrain. Instead of scalping high spots and missing low areas, the deck follows the ground naturally. That means a cleaner, more consistent cut and less operator fatigue trying to adjust on the fly. You spend less time fighting the machine and more time getting the job done right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick Hitch compatibility is standard across the BRC lineup. If your tractor has a Category 1 quick hitch, you can hook up and get cutting in minutes instead of wrestling with pins and alignment. That's time saved every single session, and over the course of a season, that adds up. Just remember to check for at least 6 inches of overlap on the PTO driveline before you start work. Safety isn't optional, and that overlap keeps everything running smooth and secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO includes an ASAE Category 4 driveline with shear bolt protection on every BRC model. The shear bolt setup is there to protect your tractor's PTO and the cutter's gearbox if you hit something solid. It's a simple, proven system that sacrifices a $5 bolt instead of a $500 gearbox. Replacing a shear bolt takes minutes. Replacing a gearbox takes you offline for days. That's smart engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laminated tailwheel on these cutters is built heavy for a reason. At 4 inches by 8 inches by 15 inches, it provides stable support and smooth tracking across varying terrain. It won't sink into soft ground like a smaller wheel, and it holds up to the abuse of rocks, roots, and rough country without coming apart. It's one of those details that might not sound exciting, but you'll appreciate it when you're working all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in four working widths—42, 48, 60, and 72 inches—the TORNADO BRC Series gives you options to match your tractor's horsepower and the type of work you're doing. The 42-inch model is ideal for compact tractors in the 20 to 60 HP range, perfect for tighter spaces and lighter maintenance. Step up to the 48-inch if you want more coverage without a big jump in weight. The 60 and 72-inch models are for operators running mid-size tractors who need to cover more ground faster. All four sizes share the same rugged build quality and thoughtful design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting height adjusts from 1 inch up to 9 1\/4 inches, so you can tailor the finish to the job. Whether you're maintaining a clean pasture or knocking down heavy brush before a final pass, you've got the range to do it. The spring steel blades are designed to flex on impact, reducing stress on the spindle and giving you longer life between replacements. They're aggressive enough to cut through saplings up to 1 inch in diameter but forgiving enough to handle the inevitable rocks and stumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of stumps, the 48, 60, and 72-inch models come standard with an oval stump jumper. This component sits between the driveline and the blade spindle, allowing the deck to deflect upward when you catch a stump or large rock. It's another layer of protection that keeps you working instead of repairing. The 42-inch model doesn't include a stump jumper due to its compact design, but it's still built tough with a reinforced deck and protective gearbox plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll TORNADO BRC rotary cutters ship with front and rear safety guards. The front guards aren't just there to meet regulations—they actively protect the deck and help fold over larger saplings so the blades can make a clean cut. The rear guard keeps debris from flying back toward the operator or bystanders. If you're working along roadways or anywhere people might be present, these shields are mandatory. BEFCO includes them standard because safety isn't negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reinforced 10-gauge deck stands up to years of hard use. BEFCO reinforced high-stress areas and welded a half-inch plate under the gearbox on every model. That extra steel absorbs shock and spreads the load, protecting critical components from damage.

The 12-month manufacturer's warranty gives you peace of mind during the critical first year. Low maintenance requirements and long component life mean you're not sinking money into repairs when you should be making money with the machine. Whether you're a contractor billing by the acre or a landowner managing your own property, the TORNADO BRC pays for itself through reduced downtime, lower repair costs, and faster job completion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TORNADO BRC Series is ideal for farm owners maintaining pastures and fence lines, landowners managing rural properties, contractors handling right-of-way clearing, and municipal crews keeping roadsides and parks in shape. It's also a solid choice for hobby farmers and property owners who need more capability than a finish mower but don't require a heavy-duty commercial cutter. If you're running a tractor in the 20 to 60 HP range and dealing with light to moderate brush, tall grass, and occasional saplings, this is the right tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is straightforward. These cutters are designed for Category 1 three-point hitches and 540 rpm PTOs. Make sure your tractor falls within the recommended horsepower range for the model you choose. Underpowering a cutter leads to bogging and poor performance. Overpowering isn't usually an issue, but matching the cutter width to your tractor's capability ensures the best results. If you're using a quick hitch, always verify you have at least 6 inches of PTO driveline overlap before operating. This isn't optional—it's a safety requirement that prevents serious accidents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating tips: Start with a higher cutting height on your first pass through thick or unfamiliar terrain. You can always make a second pass lower once you know what you're dealing with. Keep an eye on shear bolts and carry spares in your toolbox. They're cheap insurance and easy to replace in the field. Check blade condition regularly and replace them when they're worn or damaged. Dull blades tear instead of cut, putting extra strain on the tractor and the cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is minimal but important. Grease the tailwheel and any grease fittings before each use. Check gearbox oil level regularly and change it according to the manufacturer's schedule in the operator's manual. Inspect the driveline for wear and make sure all shields and guards are in place before operating. Tighten any bolts that may have loosened during use. A few minutes of maintenance before and after each job keeps the TORNADO BRC running strong for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured by BEFCO, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.

When you've got overgrown pastures, roadside right-of-ways, or brush-filled land that needs serious attention, you need a rotary cutter that won't quit halfway through the job. The BEFCO TORNADO RMD Series is built to handle medium-duty cutting work across farms, rural properties, and maintenance operations where consistent performance matters more than flashy features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for tractors in the 35 to 80 horsepower range, these rotary cutters bring together rugged construction and smart engineering to tackle material up to 2 inches in diameter. Whether you're maintaining fence lines, clearing vegetation along ditches, or keeping pastures in check, the RMD series delivers a smooth, even cut that makes your property look professionally managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 60-inch and 72-inch working widths, the TORNADO RMD gives you flexibility to match your tractor's power and the size of your cutting tasks. The RMD-360 model offers a 60-inch working width and weighs in at 695 pounds, while the RMD-372 extends your reach to 72 inches at 785 pounds. Both models operate at 540 rpm and feature Category 1 three-point linkage, making them compatible with a wide range of medium-duty tractors already working on farms and properties across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the TORNADO RMD apart is how BEFCO engineered every component to work harder and last longer. The oval stump jumper protects the rotor from sudden impacts when you hit hidden obstacles, while the fully balanced rotor reduces vibration and extends the life of your tractor's PTO and drivetrain. You're not just buying a cutter—you're investing in equipment that protects your tractor while getting the job done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floating top link is one of those features you don't appreciate until you've used a cutter without it. This design allows the deck to follow ground contours naturally, adapting to dips, rises, and uneven terrain without scalping high spots or missing low areas. You get a quality finish across varied landscapes without constantly adjusting your cutting height or making multiple passes over problem areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEFCO equipped these cutters with exceptionally heavy-duty half-inch by four-inch spring steel blades mounted at the rotor ends. These blades maintain their edge through tough cutting conditions and flex when they encounter resistance, reducing the chance of breakage. High blade tip speeds—13,189 feet per minute on the RMD-360 and 15,748 feet per minute on the RMD-372—mean cleaner cuts that don't leave ragged stems or require follow-up trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deck itself features heavy-duty reinforced 8-gauge steel construction that stands up to the rocks, stumps, and debris you'll encounter in real-world cutting conditions. Replaceable skids protect the deck bottom from excessive wear, and when they eventually need replacement, you're swapping out inexpensive wear parts instead of repairing expensive structural damage. It's the kind of thoughtful design that extends equipment life and reduces long-term ownership costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety isn't an afterthought on the TORNADO RMD. Front and rear protective chain shields come standard, providing critical protection from thrown objects and debris. Because rotary cutters can throw material with considerable force, these shields are essential for any work along roadways, near buildings, or in areas where people might be present. BEFCO takes safety seriously, and every RMD cutter ships ready to operate safely in demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laminated tailwheel system deserves special mention. These aren't lightweight stamped wheels that wobble after a season of use. BEFCO uses heavy-duty laminated tailwheels measuring 4 inches by 8 inches by 15 inches, equipped with tapered roller bearings for smooth rolling and long service life. The tailwheel maintains proper cutting height across uneven ground and provides stability that makes the cutter easier to control, especially when backing up or turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrivetrain protection comes from the standard ASAE Category 4 driveline with slip clutch protection. When the blades encounter sudden resistance—a hidden stump, a large rock, or thick brush—the slip clutch absorbs the shock instead of transferring it to your tractor's PTO or transmission. This protection prevents costly drivetrain damage and keeps you working instead of waiting for repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gearbox represents the heart of any rotary cutter, and BEFCO engineered the RMD gearbox for durability and reliability. Highly engineered and rugged, it transfers power efficiently while handling the shock loads and continuous operation that define rotary cutting work. Proper gearbox design means fewer breakdowns, lower operating temperatures, and years of dependable service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting height adjusts from 1 inch to 9.25 inches, giving you the range to maintain manicured lawns or knock down tall brush and weeds. The adjustment mechanism is straightforward and accessible, so changing cutting heights doesn't require tools or complicated procedures. Set your height in the morning and get to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForge Claw proudly distributes BEFCO equipment because it represents the quality and reliability our customers expect.
