Rotary cutter for BX 1860

[Barnone]

I use my John Deere 48" bush hog on my BX2660 (FEL installed) with no problem except for the color mismatch.

Ok thanks guys, I am going to look for a 4ft!

No apology necessary, I enjoy the discussion. Having said that, I brought the Land Pride home today. Tom graciously donated a 2x6 to help the mower fit in the back of my truck. He then loaded it in with his new L 3700 w/forks--a cinch. He then gave me the jerky 3 point demonstration--not a cinch. This is the first I've seen of one of these and it is a real problem, even at dead idle. Speed it up to working rpm's and you've got major league jumping.

I've had Woods implements, never had a Land Pride. It's a very ruggedly built mower indeed. Hasn't seen a lot of use, but needs blade sharpening and of course a good greasing (the blades themselves are VERY stout). It appears to have been kept outside--those days are over. I unloaded it with my Ford 641 with 3pt boom and chain, no problem. Hooked it up to the BX and it lifted it over a foot off the ground (the lift arms attach to the inside). Tom told me the front end might be light, but not so with the blower attached. After the snow is gone I'll get to try it out in earnest. I'm pleased with it.

I'd sure like to know what ya think about the 42" LP hog. I wanna get one for my bx1800, but without the expensive slipclutch. What I mow won't be breaking shear bolts anyway, just tall weeds.

Back here in Mo. they want 1295 with the clutch for the 42 LP an a hundred or so less without it

We have two Land Pride cutters and feel they were worth the extra money.

Great reading all of these comments. I just purchased the LP RCR 1548 for use with my JD 2320 (2010 model). I don't have the FEL, and was wondering if I will need any counterweight in the front. The unit is listed at just over 400 pounds. This will be the only attachment that I use on the rear at present.

Hey Tomtint!
Do you still have the Land Pride 42"? I actually could use the narrowness of a 42 with some up coming brush mowing.

I am not that far from Boston.
Thanks, Dan.
