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.
