Yanmar 5′ Rotary Cutter with Shear Pin

Description

Yanmar YRC205R 5-Foot Rotary Cutter with Shear Pin

The YRC205R is the 5-foot member of Yanmar’s rotary cutter family, a size that matches the wheel track of most compact tractors so the cutter covers the tire paths in each pass. It weighs about 530 pounds and suits tractors from roughly 20 to 50 HP, making it the most common choice for property owners maintaining a few acres of pasture or field margins.

Built for Regular Brush Work

A cast iron gearbox with forged gears drives heat-treated free-swinging blades, protected by a shear pin in the driveline. The deck stands on full-length skid shoes and a laminated tail wheel, and cutting height adjusts from 1.5 to 9 inches for anything from rough mowing to topping tall weeds. A standard metal rear guard contains thrown debris; a rubber front guard is optional.

Where the 5-Foot Size Fits

This is the size to choose when the 4-foot YRC104R leaves strips beside the tires and the 6-foot YRC206R is too wide for the gates. Ground with rocks or stumps is better served by the slip clutch YRC205SCR at the same width.
