Application
The RCP2560 Series Hydraulic Parallel Arm Rotary
Cutters are designed and built by Land Pride to provide
excellent cutting performance on ditch banks and 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.
The RCP2560 series is adapted for Category 2 or 3
three-point hitch mounting on 75 to 150 hp. tractors
weighing 7000 lbs. or more. Pump and reservoir system
require either 540 or 1000 input rpm. Cutter drive and
tractor will need to be equipped with, depending upon
operator configuration, one to four hydraulic outlets to
operate the cutters lift/extension/rotation arm.
