SmartCut exact cut rotor

Outstanding cutting and collecting quality

The rotor has a large diameter and produces an air stream which gives the AMAZONE GH an extremely high collecting capacity. The 2,650 rpm rotational speed of the rotor ensures a first-class mowing performance.

Ingenious: mowing – scarifying – collecting – emptying

The GH’s first-class cutting and collecting performance is based on its SmartCut exact cut rotor. An outstanding feature of the SmartCut exact cut rotor is its special, V-shaped blade arrangement, which reduces energy consumption and noise. For this innovation, AMAZONE was awarded a Silver Medal by the Innovations Jury at Demopark 2013.

Due to the high suction effect provided by the SmartCut rotor, the GH can also be used for collecting already mown grass, leaves, debris, acorns, chestnuts etc.

"The mowing unit cuts perfectly and, even under wet conditions, the cuttings are reliably delivered via the conveyor augers into the large collecting hopper." (Practical test of groundcare 07/2013)

The benefits of the SmartCut rotor, with its V-shaped blade arrangement are obvious in comparison with the rotor technology so far, where the cutting blades are arranged linearly in rows. Because the knives, when arranged in a V-shape, do not pass the shear bar simultaneously but in very short intervals one after the other, they convey the cut material better in the direction of the rotor centre, resulting in less lateral air turbulence and, because of this, in an additional improvement in the collecting performance.


Benefits of the SmartCut exact cut rotor

  • Precise and clean cutting in one pass
  • Improved collection quality
  • Reduced noise emission
  • Simple and quick blade exchange

The mowing unit

Versatile, robust and safe

The large diameter of the rotor prevents grass becoming caught up. The high wear-resistant qualities of the blades result in little wear. The blade system is insensitive to foreign objects as all the knives are attached separately. The blades are suspended on the rotor via special hooks. They can be turned round and replaced without tools. A high quality cutting performance is achieved over the entire working width.

All important components are quickly and easily accessible, resulting in effective maintenance and ensuring a long life span at minimum expense. Cleaning and maintenance operations can be performed quickly and easily.

  • The blades can be easily and quickly exchanged without using tools

High-lift discharge

Large hopper, quickly emptied

The contents of the collection hopper can easily and conveniently be emptied from the tractor seat. The pivot point has been positioned far to the rear, so that even tall containers and trailers up to a height of 2.30 m can be safely filled. A hydraulic cylinder lock ensures safety when working on the rotor or the collection hopper under the raised hopper.


High-lift discharge for the following models: 

  • GH-LT up to a height of 1.80 m 
  • GH-S up to a height of 2.10 m 
  • GH-S Drive up to a height of 2.30 m
