Application
The heavy-duty RC5020 and RCM5020 Series 2 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' (6.10 m) cutting width, 2" (5.1 cm) to
14" (35.6 cm) cutting height, and ability to cut weeds and
brush up to 3" (7.6 cm) in diameter make them well suited
for these applications.
Both models offer pull-type, self-leveling, clevis hitch and
Cat. 6 constant velocity main driveline for attachment to
90 -250 hp (67.1 to 186.4 kw) tractors. The RC5020
attaches to 540 rpm tractors and RCM5020 attaches to
1000 rpm tractors. Two different chain guard options are
available on each model to accommodate your cutting
application.
