Rotary Cutter RCR2672

[sawtooth]

I need a medium duty cutter under 1000lbs. They crazy thing is that all manufactures are turning the medium duties into near heavy duty units. They offer smooth decks but have very high side walls requiring more steel thus increasing the weight. I have a BH 286 which i love but you no longer can get. I don't like the new 296 as its a massive piece of equipment and too much for my ford 3910. The only unit i can find now like the 286 is a Land Pride RCR2672. Anyone have one of these? If so how do they cut pasture? Can you go low and get a good cut? 75% of what i do is pasture and 25% is cutting saplings and brush so i want a stout unit. Just have no experience with Land Pride. A friend of mine has a Deere MX-6 which cuts grass like a finish mower. It cuts truly amazing but he did loose a gear box when it was 4 years old with about 70 hours on it. Thats a little scary to me. Please let me know what you think.

I have one, I cut rough and pasture. I am only on the second year so I can't say long term. Make sure to get chains front and back. Its a Land Pride so it won't be junk.

I am on my third year with a LP RCR2672 and it has held up really well, I have used it on heavy brush and pasture type land, it gives good cut and it will cut down to two inches I think though I normally don't go that low, usually about four inches or so. I cut an area of about three acres next to our yard and it looks pretty nice, not finish quality, but good enough for me.
