What the BW180X Batwing Rotary Cutter is used for
The BW180X is intended for large-acreage pasture and utility mowing. Its center deck and folding wing decks follow changing ground contours while covering a 4.6 m swath. The wings fold upward for transport and storage.
Why the Woods BW180X Batwing Rotary Cutter stands out
The flex-wing design gives wide coverage while allowing the deck sections to move independently over uneven terrain. Three rotary cutting sections and heavy blade carriers are suited to repeated rough mowing. A pull-type running gear carries machine weight instead of placing it on the tractor three-point hitch.
Buying a used Woods BW180X Batwing Rotary Cutter
Inspect center and wing gearboxes for oil leakage, bearing noise, and damaged output seals. Check blades, carriers, PTO and wing drivelines, slip clutches, hinges, hydraulic hoses, wheel assemblies, and safety shielding. Pay particular attention to cracks around wing pivots, axle brackets, deck seams, and the tongue.
