What is the largest single deck brush cutter or shredder available today? (Not Batwing) Largest I've seen is an 8 footer with dual gearboxes. I imagine a 12' wouldn't be too uncommon since they make 6' work off a single gearbox already. What are the disadvantages of a single deck that wide?
And finally, what is the optimum blade speed for any cutter?

15ft deck shredders are the largest that I have seen behind a tractor, I have seen a few pictures of a deck shredder that was mounted on a Windrower and it looked wider than a 15ft. Decks are great if you are on flat land and have gates wider than your deck. If you get a deck on a hilly area you could either high center part of it and the blades start to till the soil, or high end it and have uneven cuts.

Bush hog makes a 15 foot unit, a 4215.

You can type in bush hog and they have a good internet site.

I got a 14' drag-type (hydraulic up and down NO 3 point) with 3 gear boxes and 3 blades. This one is the biggest I have seen.
