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 Rotary
Cutter.

Application

Land Pride's RCR18 Series Rotary Cutters are built and
designed by Land Pride for cutting on gentle slopes or
slightly contoured right-of-ways, pastures, around the
farm or around town. The cutting widths, 60" for
RCR1860 and 72" for RCR1872, are compatible with the
more maneuverable 20 to 65 horsepower tractors with
540 rpm PTO speed. The cutters have a category I three-
point hitch and are Quick Hitch adaptable. They are
offered with a standard ASAE Category 3 driveline with
either shear bolt or slip-clutch protection. Also, they are
offered with either a laminated or a solid rubber tailwheel.
RCR18 Series Cutters cut through grass, weeds, and
light brush up to 2 in. diameter. The RCR 1860 has a
cutting height range of 1-1/ 2" to 13" and the RCR1872
has a cutting height range of 1-1/2" to 11-1/2". Cutting
blade tip speed for the RCR1860 is 16,363 fpm and for
the RCR1872 is 14,955 fpm. These units come with 10
ga. (.135" thick) x 24" diameter standard-duty stump
jumpers and welded on full length skid shoes. A metal
band shield is standard equipment for the rear. Optional
shields for the front and rear are rubber deflectors and
chain guards.
See "Specifications & Capacities" on page 26 and
