A rotary cutting implement is disclosed. The rotary cutting implement includes a housing that extends along a longitudinal axis. The rotary cutting implement also includes an annular wall coupled to the housing to define a cutting chamber having a width defined from a first sidewall to a second sidewall. The annular wall includes a distribution deflector having a body that extends along an axis substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis to form the second sidewall of the cutting chamber. The distribution deflector distributes cut residue over substantially the width of the cutting chamber.
