These videos are so helpful. Every kubota dealer in the US and Canada needs to cut a commission to Neil Messick lol
Amen!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me

Hey, man. Your video series are EXCELLENT. They helped my pick a Kubota MX-4800 over a L-47; couldn’t be happier! I continue to pick up some tips and pointers from your videos. Thanks!
I have the RCR1860. A great cutter. Best one made in it's price range. Very happy with it.
I bought an RCR1860 because I had a good experience with a used Land Pride unit. The new cutter had a vibration from day one. The dealer tried to tell me about blades slapping the air. Talk about blowing smoke. Then I took it up with land pride customer service. They have blown me off three times after promising to have a regional rep. take a look at it. My dealer stopped selling Land Pride so I am out of luck there. I only offer this if it helps with your decision.
I have a Land Pride RCR 1872 with slip clutch and I love it. It has worked well. I initially wanted the 1884, but really the 72" is perfect for what I do.
If you're going to rely on a slip-clutch, I understand you should give it frequent calibration to prevent it from seizing when you actually need it. I have a shear pin on my Bush Hog® SQ 160, and in six years of pretty challenging conditions running it about 75 hours a year I have sheared only one, and it takes only 5 minutes to replace if you're prepared.
I just bought a 1248 landpride bushhog for my 1025r! I borrowed one last year and just had to have one!
Your videos are outstanding. I am a month away from my tractor purchase and this helped a lot
It is amazing the amount of strength added by making those bent edges rather than being flat.
Also the lack of a square corner inside means it self-cleans inside the deck better.
Square corners inside the deck collect debris and that means more rust.
The warranties on the gear box... if it survives 6 months, just about anything that will make it fail will be user error and not covered.
.
You can buy a slip clutch that goes between PTO on the tractor and the PTO shaft. These can be less than $100.
Another Great Video 👍
Well done!
I've been using this same model for 5 years with no problems. It seems well made and I have come across quite a few hidden objects. Buried tires are no fun at all.
This video was a vibe
Another great video. Is the floating top link an accessory and if so could you provide me with a part number so I can order one from you? It's not shown on the stock photo on the Land Pride site.
Good info as always !!!
This is a great cutter...but do you have any posts/videos on changing out the stump jumper? Mine (RCR1872) literally blew apart (with less than 100 hrs on the cutter) and now I'm trying to remove the pieces. I'm trying to pull the flat plate 'piece' and hub and it is stuck pretty hard. Don't want to force it too much...was hoping there is a video out there showing the correct way to do it so I may could modify to my situation.
Would a RCR 2672 be to big and heavy for a MX 6000 to run and lift without stressing the tractor ? I will be cutting tall grass and on occasion having to cut thicker woodsy area’s all though not intentionally running over large limbs but it could happen . Thanks for your help .
Only you Neil, could make a bush hog video interesting! Need to make a safety video about flying debris from rotary cutter.
How about making a safety video for putting the ROPS bar up. LOL
You look like the guy from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia
I don't see any way to adjust the 'height' of the trailing wheel
I might have missed it, but I don't see any way to allow the brush hos to to 'float' over uneven ground.
I suspect that 'cast' item will 'bind because it is (almost) straight into the mount. Suggest making it easy on the top hitch by having a horizontal slot to connect to the top hitch.
height adjustments are done on the tail wheel. There is a vertical plate with holes in it.
Some of the tail wheels you adjust by dropping the whole castering assembly out and putting on a sleeve spacer.
>
This one, if you look at 5:57, directly under his left hand is a "bar" sticking straight up with several holes.
Pull a pin and you can select which hole.
This deck is set at max height.
On this mower, Land Pride RCR1872, would you feel that it's safe and appropriate on a Kubota L4701, or would you use a Kubota MX series tractor?
that's a fine mower on that tractor.
Can u do another video with a 65 (or so) hp tractor with a Rotary cutter that is sied properly for that application.
Does the 1242 come with chains for the PTO? Mine didn’t that’s why I’m asking
I just had this exact cutter delivered 2 days ago. First time bush hoggin in my life. Having a blast thanks to so many helpful UA-cam videos. Anyone know …the floating top link…does that black iron piece allow those 2 huge bolts to act as a hinge? My bolts are TIGHT. Zero movement of that black piece. So, backing up a hill, when I’d expect that floating top link to rotate as a hinge, it doesn’t. Instead, the A frame that goes to the tail wheel bends inward and outward depending on the hill. Make sense? Confusing I know. I read the manual and researched….should the A frame straps flex, or should the huge bolts on the iron piece allow for that iron to move? I have terrible luck and I don’t want to destroy my heavy duty machinery.
Yes, it should hinge. Someone probably over drove the bolts with an impact wrench.
@@MessicksEquip thank you so much for your replay! I watched another one of your videos, noticed the hinge and order a much-larger-than-I-had socket wrench set on Amazon. They were definitely overdriven…no tools I had would loosen them. 5 minutes after socket arrival, it was loosened. I appreciate your help!
I am purchasing a Kubota MX5800 tractor and a Land Pride RCR1872 cutter. The tractor has a Cat. 2 3 pt. hitch. Does this cutter have Cat. 2 connections? Thank you.
Bushings
I wish I bought an RCR1884 instead of the RCD1884. The intermittent driveshaft rubber grommet has broken a lot and ruined blades by getting off time.
Question, I was using my loader yesterday with the 1872 on the back. The cast iron piece attached to the rear of the mower (I’m assuming it cast iron) snapped right in half. I haven’t had it but 3 months. Not sure if I should pursue a claim with insurance or would it be covered by warranty.
Warranty
Messick's Equipment thanks
Could you run this cutter with a l2501? Or are you forced into the 3301/3901models. It’s going to spend its life cutting fields with woody brush in it but not a ton. Planting and fertilizing food plot, also just general hunting property work on a 200+ acre farm. Just trying to get some help figuring out what tractor is right. We already own a rcr1872, landscape rake,500cone spreader snd a disc Harrow. We also own a larger tractor with 10’ cutter on it. Any input is appreciated.
Generally go by the width of the tractor for your brush hog deck size. Its more about tractor stability and not getting the corner caught when you go by a power pole or fence. The 20+ hp @PTO would drive a 72 inch deck no problem. if you aren't cutting really heavy stuff.
>
Note that this is one of a series of decks, all made very similarly in different widths for the different size tractors.
Yeah I guess just trying to really figure out what is meant by heavy stuff. The l2501 has 19 pto hp which is just below the 20hp+ recommendation for the rcr1872 we own but I was thinking we weren’t going to be pushing it too hard since it will mainly be field use. The thickest stuff would be field edges or areas where we have first year woody stuff like sumac sneaking back into our field. Even though it’s a 2” cutter it’s doubtful it would ever see anything over an inch in its lifetime. Just trying to decide between the 2501 or a 3301/3901 to run this cutter under those circumstances. Thanks again for the input.
Fair warning. This thing is damned near impossible to grease if you don’t have a flexible hose grease gun. Even then it’s a huge pain. Have your dealer show you how if you’re thinking of buying.
not going to lie was hoping you would show it in action

Neil - how does the RCF and RCR models differ?
RCF is the smooth top version, a bit more premium than this one.
Got it - thanks - ordered an RCF2072
Any chance of a clutch plate run out demo video?
Not yet, on my.list
@@MessicksEquip I learned it's important to do! have an old SCL-760-HD was cutting a field that was extremely overgrown ran over couple truck tires on rims. Tractor has a cab I hear a bump and thumping look back and the shaft had broke in half! No damage to the cutter still running to this day lucky there but it made me re access shear pins on some other attachments.
Just bought an 1872. Slightly disappointed that the gearbox is made in China. Also how much are the chains?
We used to make these gearboxes along with speed increasing gearboxes for 540 pto to couple to hydraulic motors. We stopped making them in Italy in the 90's because of China copying and selling them so cheap. It hasn't stopped, they just keep doing it, some company's are taking the fight to the retailers of these copied items since there is nothing they can do in China.
When we added chains to our 5' mower a decade or so ago it was pretty cheap, a couple hundred bucks I believe for the front and rear. If you can do DIY stuff it'd be easy to add them yourself since they're basically just links of chain with a steel cable holding them to the cutter.
Its almost impossible to find a domestic gearbox on a price sensitive implement like this. They do design the product and have a gear box built for themselves, but yes.. its from China.
Don't have a pricebook in front of me, but I'd guess chain shielding is around $250
That being said Indian motorcycle engines are being casted, machined and assembled in Washington State, of course price is not an issue for the buyers of this item.
What size do u recommend for l2501 ? Thanks
I just found this video. It doesn't directly answer your question...and I would trust Neil's advice if he offers it...but this video shows a L2501 cutting some very heavy brush. ua-cam.com/video/mm5dlXb0Ums/v-deo.html
@@dlterm thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im not going to pay more for 10 drilled holes
Oh, so the top link A frame on mine is bent by the gears equally, and I thought that was the way it was made. It looks brand new, but used "4 hours" according to the pot farmer that sold it to me because when they legalized pot here, the regulations were so outrageous, most people can't afford to farm under them. So, cool for me, I got a good deal on the cutter. Come on big busi... I mean gubment, keep OVER regulating putting people out of business so I can get some good deals!!! Sad but true.
Have a look at Woods Brush Bull before you buy a rotary cutter.
That tail wheel sucks (needs to be made out good iron)had to modify mine
Want a good build brush hog..built it yourself and it will last forever
Why is your ROPS down?
Somebody says the gearbox is China made... Confirm ??? Easy or not to check/drain/refill the gearbox oil? I like the slip clutch.. I have Land Pride box scraper and post hole digger for my BX23, very durable so far, about 11 years old.
Jennifer WhiteWolf like I said I just bought a new 1872. It clearly has China on the gearbox.
Luckie Hyaena Hmmmm.. China,... Sometimes crap.. sometimes serviceable, rarely really good. There is a company that has Mercruizer marine outdrive units copied in China, they sell for less... but they are notorious for gear failures... Sad to see as we have no way to know if the quality specs are high, and met, or if they just cheap and prone to wear-out just past warranty.
You put your ROPS down when mowing under limbs. Far more danger of injury by a limb snagging on the ROPS/tractor than the tractor turning over on many mowing jobs. All gearboxes are made in China now. John Deere, Bushhog, Rhino, ect. ect. I know of not one single gear box on any rotary cutter that isn't made in China. Deere put a made in Spain one on their MX6 years ago and it was the worst gearbox ever put on a mower. MX6 now has a China made one like every one else.
If I can't go under it with a ROPS then it gets sawed off with a pole saw. Too many dangerous hills where I live. Wish I lived on the flat.
@@MLJenkins Great comment and same with me.
Much easier to cut a few limbs than cut down the tree and burn the stump.
Chains are worthless for stopping rocks from flying
