Overview

High-Performance Cutting Power for Agricultural and Commercial Use

The Tornado RHD is designed to deliver exceptional cutting results in a wide range of field conditions. Its heat-treated spring steel blades are built to withstand extensive wear while providing clean, controlled cutting performance. The high blade-tip speed increases efficiency by improving how the cutter handles dense grass, tangled brush, and small saplings.

With an impressive cutting capacity of up to 3 inches, this mower is suitable for agricultural fields, roadside maintenance, and commercial land-clearing projects. Operators appreciate the versatility of this tractor rotary cutter, especially when working across varying terrain and vegetation types. The adjustable cutting height—from 2 to 8 inches—allows you to achieve the right finish for pasture preparation, brush reduction, and general property management.

Thanks to its finely balanced rotor and PTO-driven design, the BEFCO Tornado RHD maintains stable performance even at higher speeds. This makes it an excellent choice for large-area mowing where efficiency and productivity matter.

FAQs

How thick can the Tornado RHD rotary cutter cut?


This heavy-duty rotary cutter has a cutting capacity of up to 3 inches, allowing it to handle brush, woody stems, and overgrown vegetation with ease.

Is the BEFCO Tornado RHD compatible with my tractor?


Yes. It works with Category 1 and Category 2 three-point hitches, making it compatible with a wide range of utility and agricultural tractors.

What is the biggest problem with rotary engines?


Apex seals—located at the tips of the triangular rotor—must maintain a perfect seal inside the housing. They face extreme heat, friction, and pressure. When they wear out or fail, the engine loses compression, power drops, starting becomes difficult, and eventually the engine needs a rebuild.
