cutting width, 2" to 14" cutting height and ability to cut
weeds and brush up to 3" in diameter make them well
suited for these applications.
Both models offer pull-type self-leveling clevis hitches as
standard equipment for attachment to 70-250 HP
tractors. The RC5014 has a 540 rpm Cat. 5 driveline and
the RCM5014 has a 1000 rpm Cat. 5 driveline.
Both models offer various, tire, rim and axle selections as
well as various safety guard selections making them an
excellent choice for state and municipal mowing
applications. See “Features and Benefits” section 6 or
