Built lean and mean, the standard-duty series utilizes all the same drive and blade carrier components as our tried-and-true heavy-duty series but at a more budget-friendly cost. To make these cutters more economical, we removed the chain curtains, motor guard.  All standard-duty units are configured with the “open front” deck design that allows the blades to engage vegetation while the leading edge makes contact. Pound for pound, you won’t find a better value on the market.
