1. More Issues Than Rewards

The first sign for you to start looking for a different rotary cutter is when you’re experiencing more issues than successes with your current model. Maybe you’ve sharpened and changed the blades multiple times yet you’re still experiencing uneven cuts and skips. Or maybe you’re having to make adjustments and repairs after every use. If this sounds familiar to you, it might be time to upgrade. 

2. You Upgraded Your Tractor

It’s common to upgrade your tractor to enjoy the latest features, but what if your current rotary cutter no longer complements your new tractor? In this scenario, it’s usually best to replace your current model with one that works well with your tractor model. You need to consider the horsepower and operation when you look for complementary equipment. 

3. Technology

If you upgrade your tractor for new technology, why wouldn’t you do the same with your rotary cutter? New models have more safety features, better results, and new technology that makes work more efficient. If your model is outdated, it might be time to make a change.
