How to run a rotary cutter featuring the Land Pride RCR1872
Overview
This is a real-world how-to on operating a rotary cutter, not a spec walkaround: an MX5200 with a Land Pride RCR1872 clearing brush, briars, and groundhog-hole-riddled ground for a backyard zip line project. It covers technique specifics, mowing brush in reverse first, loose sway bars for flex, lowering the loader to protect the axle, RPM management, and setting expectations that a rotary cutter grinds rough, not finishes lawns. Good for first-time rotary cutter owners wanting practical operating tips rather than a buying decision.
