Howdy everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade to a larger 58hp (engine) HP tractor and the Kubota dealer recommended a Land Pride RCR 1872 cutter. I was a tad surprised on the cost of the unit, and also see there are "cheaper" and therefore thinner models available.
I'll probably only use this chopper once a month or so to cut down the back property, grass and weeds. This year I had to wait a few months and only got 1 cut in with my Woods finishing mower and I had to make a few passes. So I won't be working this cutter that hard. There are probably some smaller saplings that I might get into but nothing crazy. I have a chainsaw for a reason if needed. I won't be cutting new trails or anything. Just heavy grass and weeds.
Is this a good mower to go with, or save some money and go with a different model? I want to say that RCR1872 is almost $2,500
However, I'd rather spend the money once, than get something cheap and regret it and have to buy something else not far down the road.
