	Difficult Cutting Made Easy The Steiner Rough Cut Mower is built to evenly cut dense and overgrown grass, weeds, brush and brambles up to 1.5 inches in diameter. With a height of cut ranging from3.75 to 6 inches, a 71.5-inch cut width and three double-sided 24-inch-long, 5/16-inch-thick blades designed to rotate in the same direction, this unit provides powerful cutting and debris clearing performance in heavily overgrown woody areas. A rear discharge system with standard baffles and flexible front and rear shields protects operators. For taller or thicker grasses, owners can install a counter-clockwise rotation kit to enable the outer blade to rotate in the opposite direction of the other two blades, which provides a better finish when powering through tall, grassy fields and pastures. To further improve cutting on difficult or uneven surfaces, it also features durable contoured skid shoes designed to let the deck evenly cut all types of terrain without damaging the ground or the attachment, and an optional caster wheel kit allows the deck to follow undulating landscape and maintain a consistent cut. Heavy duty helper springs allow owners to easily flip the deck up for servicing and repair. Visit http://www.steinerturf.com for details.
