- Adjustable cutting height, lift-arm control, and forward-facing operation that keeps the operator in full view of the work zone.
Solaris Attachment rotary cutters are engineered from super durable, high-grade carbon steel with a powder-coated finish to ensure longevity and durability. These high-quality blades offer smooth operations, ensuring a comfortable and vibration-free mowing experience.
Take a look at some of the major features of Solaris Attachment rotary cutters.
Attachment Type: Solaris Attachment’s rotary cutters are compatible with Category 1 hitch tractors and offer secure and easy hookups.
Easy Maneuvering: The deck design of the Solaris Attachment rotary cutters enables easy and efficient maneuvering, particularly in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas like around trees, flowerbeds, and fences.
Adjustable Cutting Height: Our rotary cutters make it easy to adjust the cutting height. This can be done by adjusting the tractor’s 3-point connection and moving the support bar to the height you want to cut.
PTO Slip Clutch & Shearbolt: For Solaris Attachments, safety is paramount. The shear bolt and slip clutch driveline adds an extra measure of safety to the machinery and prevents damage and injury. The drivelines are greasable and easy to maintain.
Reinforced Gearbox: The rotary cutter is equipped with a 40 HP gearbox and strongbacks that are designed to tolerate years of abuse and stress.
Efficient Uplift Blades: The uplift blades have deep curves on the ends, which results in air suctions that guide and expel the clippings. The higher amount of airflow helps to prevent blockages when mowing wet grass.

Why Rear Hitch PTO Cutters Are the Right Choice
Using a rear hitch PTO rotary cutter offers distinct advantages. The PTO drive ensures direct transfer of engine power to the implement for maximum cutting torque. The rear three-point hitch attachment keeps the cutter behind the tractor—allowing full forward-motion visibility and reducing the need to back into the work zone. Unlike front-mounted or hydraulic devices, this setup requires fewer moving parts and lowers maintenance overhead.
Whether you’re mowing tall grass on a pasture, clearing encroaching brush along fencerows, or prepping land for reclamation, Solaris’s PTO-driven rotary cutters provide efficient, American-made performance you can trust.
