Abstract
A deck for a rotary cutter includes upper and lower deck walls configured together with vertical aprons and wheel support plates at the opposite sides of the deck to form a box structure. Three gear box supports are welded within three pairs of vertically aligned holes respectively provided in the upper and lower deck walls. The upper deck wall is shaped generally convex in fore-and-aft, vertical cross section and is free of ledges formed from framework of stringers so that debris tends to fall off and water tends to run off the deck.
