Abstract

A rotary cutter apparatus is provided for shredding coarse vegetation in order to generally reduce the size of cut vegetation and more evenly distribute the vegetation once thus cut. Counterrotating, coaxial blade assemblies are provided. One blade assembly is driven by a central shaft rotatably mounted through a drive barrel, which drives the other blade assembly. The central shaft can be mounted by only two bearing assemblies. Easy assembly and disassembly arrangements are also provided.
The rotary cutter apparatus is characterized by simplified and cost-reduced manufacturing and by enhanced serviceability.
