The RoadMaster® – an industrial strength mowing tractor!
The Kut Kwick RoadMaster® is specifically designed for high production, low maintenance mowing of roadsides, airports, parks, and other large areas. This front mowing tractor cuts a full 7 foot swath, and the optional hydraulically-powered towed cutter deck attachment increases the cut to a 15.5 foot path.
The RoadMaster®’s patented technology provides for commercial mowing in medium to rough mowing applications … and on slopes of up to 31°, as well as flat areas. This unique tractor allows the operator to mow grass that is 8” to 2’ high above the ground with a finished cut from 4” to 8”, depending on the mower height adjustment.
For safe operation on slopes, the RoadMaster® has an extra wide wheel base, a low center of gravity, and tip-up protection. The RoadMaster® also features a special cockpit and tilting suspension seat with restraining arms and retractable seat belt. The engine is mounted in the center of the machine and is exposed to assure adequate cooling and ease of maintenance.
The RoadMaster® is designed with the cutter deck out front so that the operator can trim on either side while looking straight ahead. This design feature was incorporated into the machine to deal with the very dangerous operating procedure that cannot be avoided, when roadways are mowed with farm tractors pulling mower attachments. Farm tractor operators continuously look to the rear, causing numerous accidents from the inability to watch for obstacles coming up ahead.
All the controls on the RoadMaster® are ergonomically located for safety and convenience. The machine has a steering wheel type of steering mechanism for operator comfort in applications where extreme maneuverability is not required.

Model RM80-88D
RoadMaster® – Tractor only - designed with no trailer, for a big mower with the lowest cost in general purpose mowing where steering wheel control is the preferred design.
 Mows slopes to 31° |
 Tilting seat for operator comfort |
Model RM80-187D
RoadMaster® - with quick connect, trailered Rear Towed Cutter for high production on slopes up to 20°. Detach the trailer and mow slopes to 31°.
The optional Rear Towed Cutter includes two additional cutter decks, each equipped with two 3/8” hardened alloy steel blades. The towed cutter attaches or detaches to the mower without tools in 1 1/2 minutes. Hydraulic controls in the cab allow the operator to raise, lower and engage the blades on each towed deck independently. This feature allows the machine to trim along fences, barriers, and other objects, where tractor drawn mowers cannot trim effectively.
The special trailer-hitching mechanism has been designed to prevent “fishtailing” and “jack-knifing” when the trailer-towed mower combination is driven at higher speeds. The RoadMaster® is equipped with a special transport speed mode that allows it to travel at 24 mph for efficient relocation, eliminating the need for a trailer.
