REDDI-ARM

The REDDI-ARM carries your rotary cutter out to the side of the tractor: 16' of offset left to right, and 48° of angle either way. It hooks to a 3-point, Cat 2 or Cat 3, runs off a 1000 RPM PTO, and takes any cutter with a drawbar style hitch and a draw pin.

What it does

Ditch banks, road allowances and the ground along a fence line are what this arm is for. The cutter sits out where the tractor cannot go, angled down the slope or up the bank, and the tractor stays on level ground. Swing the unit to the left or the right side depending on which way the road runs.

Sloped arm, no third gearbox

The arm is sloped for two reasons. It does the job a third gearbox would otherwise do, so there is one less gearbox to service and one less thing to fail. And it leaves you a clear view of the cutter from the cab, which matters over a whole day of watching a cutter head out the side window.

3-point hookup

Our 3-point hookup holds the arm at two points instead of one, which takes the side drag off the tractor. It fits CAT 2 and CAT 3; a 3-point-to-drawbar adapter is available for tractors set up that way. Hitch weight is 1362 lbs (618 kg) and the whole unit is 3270 lbs (1483 kg).

Hubs, spindles and tires

Standard is an 8-bolt hub with a 2.5-inch spindle diameter on a 320/70R15 tire. For rougher work, the upgrade is a 10-bolt hub with a 3-inch spindle diameter and a 440/55R18 tire. Either way, a damaged hub or spindle comes off with one bolt, so the arm is back in the ditch the same day.

Driveline and safety

Drivelines are Weasler, Cat 6, through a 1:1 gearbox driven at 1000 RPM. The main frame is 12” x 8” x 0.250” W. LED lighting and a Slow-Moving Vehicle sign to ASABE standards come on the unit, and the rear axle steers so lining the arm up with the cutter is a one-person job.

The drawbar style hitch takes any cutter with a draw pin, so the arm works with the head you already own rather than one we pick for you.

Advantages of the model
You can see the cutter
The sloped arm does the work a third gearbox would do, so there is one less gearbox to grease and to fail. It also leaves a clear line of sight from the cab to the cutter, which is what decides how tired you are at the end of a day in the ditch.
Two points, not one
The 3-point hookup holds the arm at two points instead of one and takes the side drag off the tractor. CAT 2 and CAT 3 both fit, and a 3-point-to-drawbar adapter covers the tractors that need it.
Hub and spindle off with one bolt
8-bolt hub with a 2.5-inch spindle and a 320/70R15 tire as standard, or a 10-bolt hub with a 3-inch spindle and a 440/55R18 for rough ground. A damaged assembly comes off with a single bolt.
48° either way, 16 feet out
Swing the unit to the left or the right of the tractor and angle it 48° in either direction, with 16' of offset. LED lighting, an ASABE Slow-Moving Vehicle sign and a steerable rear axle are on the unit as standard.

Have a question?
Below are the questions our dealers hear most often about the Reddi-Arm. If yours is not here, call us or send it through the form at the bottom of the page.
Why is the arm sloped?

It removes the need for a third gearbox, so there are fewer moving parts to service. It also keeps the cutter in sight from the cab instead of behind the arm, which is the difference between guessing and seeing where the head is.

What tractor does it need?

A CAT 2 or CAT 3 three-point and a 1000 RPM PTO. Hitch weight is 1362 lbs (618 kg) and the unit weighs 3270 lbs (1483 kg), so the tractor has to be rated for that on the lift arms. A 3-point-to-drawbar adapter is available.

Which hub and tire should I take?

The standard 8-bolt hub with a 2.5-inch spindle on a 320/70R15 handles most ditch work. Take the 10-bolt hub with the 3-inch spindle and the 440/55R18 tire if you are in rough ground all season.

Will it fit the cutter I already have?

The hitch is drawbar style and takes any cutter with a draw pin. Drivelines are Weasler, Cat 6, through a 1:1 gearbox at 1000 RPM, which is what most rotary cutters are built for.

What is on it for road safety?

LED lighting and a Slow-Moving Vehicle sign to ASABE standards. The rear axle steers, so hooking onto the cutter and lining the unit up on a shoulder does not need a second person.
