Introduction

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.

This Rotary Cutter has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Application

The Hydraulic Parallel Arm Rotary Cutters are designed and built by Land Pride to provide excellent cutting performance on ditch banks and other sloping areas adjacent to right-of-ways, lakes, ponds and streams. They are designed to work equally as well in and around areas of restricted access such as over or under fences, guardrails, low overhanging branches, tree limbs and hedges. These units perform extremely well in tall grass cutting applications and will easily cut through standing brush up to two inches in diameter. An optional cutter head equipped with two forward and one rear gauge wheel is also available for customers who want to maintain a constant cutting height with minimal control lever manipulation.

The RCP2660 and RCPM2660 cutters are adapted for Category 2 or 3 three-point hitch mounting on 75 hp. to 150 hp. tractors weighing 8,000 lbs. or more.

The RCP3060 and RCPM3060 cutters are adapted for Category 2 or 3 three-point hitch mounting on 95 hp. to 175 hp. tractors weighing 12,000 lbs. or more.

The Hydraulic drive requires 540 rpm input PTO speed for RCP2660 & RCP3060 models and 1000 rpm for RCPM2660 & RCPM3060 models. Depending upon hydraulic configuration, two or four duplex hydraulic outlets are required on the tractor to operate the cutter’s parallel arms and deck angle.

RCP2660, RCPM2660, RCPM3060, RCP3060 specifications

Land Pride has a longstanding reputation for producing high-quality agricultural equipment, and their line of RCP series rotary cutters, including the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, and RCP2660, exemplifies this commitment. Designed for professional landscapers and farmers alike, these rotary cutters are engineered for durability, efficiency, and performance in managing heavy brush and grass.

The RCP3060 is the largest in the series, boasting a 60-inch cutting width. It is equipped with a robust frame and is compatible with a range of tractors, making it an ideal choice for large-scale property maintenance and land management. The cutter employs a heavy-duty, reinforced cutting deck, which ensures longevity and able to withstand tough conditions. It utilizes a superior blade design that delivers clean and consistent cuts, promoting healthier growth of remaining grass and vegetation.

The RCPM3060, a medium-duty model, also features a 60-inch cutting width but is designed for lighter applications compared to the RCP3060. It incorporates similar build quality but is lighter, making it suitable for smaller tractors while still handling brush and grass efficiently. The integrated slip clutch protects the drive line from damage in case of blade contact with a solid object.

Both RCPM2660 and RCP2660 models provide a more compact solution with a 66-inch cutting width. The RCPM2660 is specifically tailored for medium-duty tasks, while the RCP2660 serves heavy-duty needs. Both cutters promote high productivity and versatility, making them suitable not just for agricultural use but also for commercial landscaping applications. The blades are designed for easy replacement, ensuring minimal downtime during operation.

All models in the RCP series integrate advanced technologies such as a quick-attach feature for easy connectivity, and adjustable side skids to control cutting height effectively. The heavy-gauge steel construction provides enhanced durability and helps reduce vibrations during operation. Furthermore, Land Pride's commitment to safety is reflected in the design with features that minimize dust and debris exposure.

In conclusion, whether you choose the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, or RCP2660, you can rely on Land Pride's RCP series rotary cutters to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, designed to withstand the demands of any landscape maintenance task.
