Highline RCH Hydro Mower

An industry exclusive feature of a Highline® mower is the integrated Radial Contouring Hitch (RCH™). The RCH™ is designed to keep the tractor on the road and the Operator safe while achieving a quality cut.

This mower uses an improved hydraulic circuit utilizing a piston pump and piston motors that are highly efficient and reliable. The hydraulic reservoir and cooler are located directly above the pump minimizing supply line pressure drop, reducing hoses along the hitch, and removing components from the center deck for easier cleaning and improved visibility.

An improved wing lift assembly ensures smooth and quick transition between work and transport positions. New rear running gear including large 27×10.5-15 tires offers a smooth ride in the roughest conditions. A new pendant style joystick option is available with all functions close at hand. This really is the ultimate machine for ditch mowing!

Save Time and Increase Productivity

Greasing and maintenance have always been time consuming and cumbersome tasks. Traditional mechanically-driven ditch mowers typically have 16 grease points. Care and greasing on these units can take from 30 minutes up to an hour of preparation time every day!

With the RCH™ Hydro Mower greasing and maintenance takes approximately 10 minutes. In a mowing season of 100 days this translates into an extra 100 miles of mowing!

The Highline RCH™ Hydro Mower is a practical design with many convenience features.

The heart of a Highline mower is the Radial Countouring Hitch (RCH™).
Independent wing lift.
The optional joystick is simply more intuitive!
Large, smooth under deck allows for continuous volume shredding of mulch.
The hydraulic drive advantage.
Maneuverability.
Versatility - Mow on both sides of the road without switching configurations.

Other Highline Mower Features:

High Capacity Cooling Unit: The high capacity, 20 hp cooling unit efficiently cools the oil. Reversible electric cooling fan keeps the radiator clean by blowing out debris.
Easily view oil levels with oil gauge.
The Hitch’s Low Pull Point - minimal downward force improves flotation.
Hose Cradle: The simple design of the hose cradle allows for flexibility when attaching hoses to tractor. Also, since the hoses are not tightly secured, the hoses can move when turning. The hose cradle keeps the hoses neatly in place.
Replaceable Caster Shaft and Spindles: Accidents happen! Highline caster shafts are designed to be replaced simply and easily. Instead of having to replace the entire caster wheel assembly, individual component shaft parts are available and can be easily changed out.

Other Highline Mower Features:

The chrome shaft and fibre bushings mean no greasing for less maintenance.
2:1 Speed Increaser: The RCH™ mower is equipped with a 2:1 Speed Increaser. This is valuable as it allows for higher speeds with a more compact pump. Competitors' hydraulic pump designs are much larger and attach directly to the tractor making initial setup awkward.
Large Wings allow for greater ditch contour-ability compared to competitors.
Redesigned Skid Plates are made from durable abrasion resistant steel. Skid Plates may be exchanged from side to side for extended life and are replaceable.
The Large Tool Kit conveniently stores extra blades and tools for easy access when maintenance is required.
Walking Axle - experience a smoother ride and better contouring with the walking axle on the wings.
