skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,

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. They also offer various
safety guard selections making them an excellent choice
for state and municipal mowing applications.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 44 and
“Features & Benefits” on page 46 for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
