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.
See “Section 7: Specifications & Capacities” on page
43 and “Section 8: Features & Benefits” on page 45 for
additional information and performance enhancing
options.
