The disc mowers use the hydraulic cylinder to lift the cutterbar from the cutting position to the transport position, where the cutterbar automatically locks into place.

 

The R160 and R200 have a cutting arc of +35 degrees to -22 degrees.

 

A heavy spring establishes even flotation along the full length of the cutterbar in a variety of different field conditions and topography.

Performance

Cutting arc provides a wide range of cutting angles

A multi-V-belt drive system transfers power from the gearbox to each rotary disc.

Power is transmitted to the rotary discs through fully enclosed gears running in oil for a quiet, smooth, reliable operation.

 

All models have a spring-loaded belt tensioner for easier belt adjustment. The belt tension automatically compensates for initial belt stretch, increasing belt life.

Rotating at 2986 rpm, the high-speed discs cut in the toughest conditions.

The low-profile cutterbar allows a close cut while maintaining a level cutterbar. The cutting height is controlled by adjusting the tilt of the cutterbar.

Each disc has two free-swinging knives:

  • Easy to remove and replace
  • Two cutting edges, doubling the use life

The R160 and R200 Mowers attach to tractors with a Category 1 and 2, 3-point hitch. The R160 and R200 are not quick-hitch compatible.

 

The R160 and R200 models rely on the parking stand to hold up 3-point hitch arms to ensure easy hook up to the tractor.

I felt like I had been doing business with Martin Tractor for years even though it was my first interaction with them.
