The FX742 rotary cutter is big. In fact, at Louisville its 42-foot width looked sprawling. Schulte calls it the world’s largest. With this size, the operator can cover more ground while also reducing the number of tractors and fuel required in the operation.
The FX742 has a unique five-plex-design flexibility, which allows for a completely “road-able” machine that folds into a 118- inch (three-metre) transport width. It’s available with stump jumpers for pasture and grass maintenance or with Schulte’s exclusive fixed knife and baffle technology for mulching crop residue such as corn stalks and straw.

The FX742 has a full rubber grommet suspension across the entire unit to reduce shock loading and maintain uniform cutting, even in the toughest conditions. The FX742 is enhanced by a premium Bondiloi &Pavesi SFT drive and gearbox system. It has a 350-hp divider box, 180-hp T-boxes and 210-hp right angle down boxes. The continuously welded 10-gauge steel domed deck adds strength and durability while reducing debris and water buildup on the top of the cutting deck. www.schulte.ca
