The Land Pride RCR1260 is a rugged 60-inch standard-duty rotary cutter built for compact tractors that need to handle more than just finish mowing. Designed for 20 to 60 horsepower tractors, the RCR1260 is ideal for maintaining pastures, trails, food plots, waterways, vacant lots, and overgrown acreage. With a 1-inch cutting capacity, a reinforced welded deck, and Category I quick-hitch compatibility, it’s one of the most popular rotary cutters for Kubota compact tractors.
The 5-foot cutting width makes the RCR1260 an excellent match for many compact tractors, allowing the cutter to cover the tractor’s tire tracks while remaining easy to power in thick grass and weeds.
A 24-inch stump jumper protects the gearbox by allowing the cutter to ride over rocks and stumps instead of striking them directly. The floating three-point hitch helps the mower follow uneven terrain, reducing scalping while producing a cleaner cut. Front and rear rubber safety guards come standard to help reduce thrown debris.

The RCR1260 is an excellent match for:
It can also be used on larger Kubota L, MX, and M Series tractors, but those machines are generally better served with 6- or 7-foot cutters to take full advantage of their horsepower.
The RCR1260 is one of the best all-around rotary cutters for compact tractors. It provides enough width to improve mowing productivity over a 4-foot cutter while remaining light enough for tractors like the LX2620, LX3520, and L2502 to handle comfortably.
For many customers purchasing a Kubota L2502, this is the cutter I recommend. The 5-foot width pairs well with the tractor’s PTO horsepower, making it capable of mowing heavy grass, weeds, trails, and small saplings without feeling overloaded. It’s also an excellent choice for maintaining horse pastures, CRP borders, hunting property, and recreational trails.
If your property is primarily open pasture and your tractor has the horsepower, stepping up to the RCR1272 can reduce mowing time considerably. However, if you frequently work around trees, fence lines, ponds, or wooded trails, the RCR1260 offers an outstanding balance of maneuverability, durability, and productivity that makes it one of Land Pride’s best-selling rotary cutters.
