Application
The heavy duty RC5020 and RCM5020 Series Rotary
Cutters are designed and built by Land Pride to provide
excellent cutting performance on gently sloping or
slightly contoured right of ways, roadsides, pastures, set-
aside-acres, or for residue in row crop fields.
The 20’ 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 for
attachment to 70-250 hp tractors. The RC5020 has a
Cat. 5 and 540 rpm driveline, while the RCM5020 has a
Cat. 5 and 1000 rpm driveline.
Both models offer various safety guard selections
making them an excellent choice for state and municipal
mowing applications. See “Features and Benefits”
section 6 or “Product Specifications” section 5 for more
information and performance enhancing options.
