Note: This part cannot be returned.

The John Deere RE50 Rotary Brush Cutter handles tough vegetation in hard-to-reach areas, including ditches, embankments, and fence lines. Its directionally beveled, reversible blades cut material up to five inches thick while creating finer debris for easier cleanup. A heavy-duty hinged debris shield retracts on contact, exposing the blades for more aggressive cutting in dense brush conditions. Automatic hydraulic braking stops blade rotation quickly after shutdown, helping operators leave the work area safely and efficiently afterward. With a 50-inch cutting width and four powerful blades, the RE50 delivers dependable performance, reach, and cleaner cutting results.
