Available in New Haven, Indiana, this Land Pride RC2512 batwing mower for sale offers a practical 12-foot cutting width for farmers, livestock producers, acreage owners, municipalities, property-maintenance contractors, and rural landowners who need to cover more ground than a conventional single-deck rotary cutter. Priced at $13,000, this pull-type folding rotary cutter is designed to deliver wide-area mowing capability while remaining compatible with many moderate-horsepower farm and utility tractors.

Land Pride RC2512 Batwing Mower for Sale

The RC2512 combines a center cutting deck with two folding wings to provide a manufacturer-rated 12-foot working width. This layout allows an operator to mow larger pastures, field edges, waterways, hunting properties, vacant acreage, and general farm ground more efficiently than with a smaller three-point cutter.

Land Pride developed the RC2512 for operators who want the productivity of a folding rotary cutter without necessarily needing the large tractor commonly associated with heavier 15-foot and 20-foot commercial cutters. Manufacturer information for the current RC2512 Series 2 lists a tractor requirement of approximately 40–100 horsepower, depending on terrain, vegetation, operating speed, and tractor configuration.

That range makes this model especially relevant for:

• Small and midsize farms
• Cattle and livestock operations
• Horse farms
• Rural property owners
• Acreage-maintenance businesses
• Municipal and township crews
• Hunting-property managers
• Orchard and vineyard perimeter maintenance
• Contractors maintaining vacant or overgrown land

Wide Cutting Capacity in a Manageable Package

The RC2512 provides a full 12-foot cutting width while folding to approximately 7 feet 11 inches for transport, based on current manufacturer specifications. Its relatively compact transport profile can make it easier to move between fields, through gates, around farmyards, and along access lanes than wider commercial batwing cutters.

Land Pride also designed the cutter with a comparatively low hitch weight and a sharp turning radius. These features can be valuable for operators working in smaller fields, irregularly shaped pastures, confined entrances, or areas where maneuverability matters.

Manufacturer specifications list:

• 12-foot cutting width
• Approximately 12-foot 7-inch overall operating width
• Approximately 7-foot 11-inch minimum transport width
• Approximately 13-foot 3-inch overall length
• Approximately 2,540-pound machine weight
• Approximately 793-pound hitch weight

Exact measurements and configuration should be verified against the serial number of the mower being offered.

Built for Pasture and Property Maintenance

The Land Pride RC2512 is intended for cutting grass, weeds, crop residue, and brush within the mower’s rated capacity. The current Series 2 model is published with a maximum cutting capacity of approximately 1½ inches in diameter under suitable operating conditions.

That makes this rotary cutter a strong match for maintaining:

• Pastures and grazing ground
• Field borders and fence rows
• Waterways and drainage areas
• CRP and set-aside acreage
• Hunting land and food-plot access
• Roadside and right-of-way areas
• Vacant lots and undeveloped property
• Orchard lanes and farm access roads
• Areas with tall grass, weeds, and light brush

Cutting performance will depend on vegetation density, tractor horsepower, blade condition, ground speed, terrain, moisture, and operator technique.

Folding Wings for Contoured Ground

The hydraulic folding-wing design helps the mower follow uneven or rolling terrain. Land Pride publishes maximum downward wing movement of approximately 20 degrees, with upward flotation available while the wheels remain in contact with the ground.

This flexibility can help maintain a more consistent cut across waterways, gentle slopes, rolling pastures, terraces, and uneven field conditions. It also reduces the limitations associated with a single rigid 12-foot deck.

The folding wings are raised hydraulically for transport and secured using transport locks. Buyers should confirm the tractor has the correct hydraulic connections and capacity to operate the lift and folding functions.

Driveline and Gearbox Protection

The RC2512 uses a Category 4 constant-velocity main driveline and Category 3 intermediate and wing drivelines with slip-clutch protection, according to manufacturer information for Series 2 models.

The constant-velocity main driveline is intended to promote smoother power delivery while turning. Slip clutches on the intermediate and wing drivelines help protect driveline components when the blades encounter sudden resistance.

The mower is designed around 540-rpm PTO operation. Tractor PTO type, PTO condition, drawbar setup, hydraulic compatibility, and adequate front ballast should all be confirmed before purchase and operation.

Durable Deck and Cutting Components

Manufacturer specifications for the RC2512 Series 2 include a 10-gauge deck, 3/16-inch side skirts, replaceable skid shoes, reinforced stump-jumper blade holders, and six heat-treated free-swinging alloy-steel blades.

The three-deck cutting arrangement uses two blades per deck with approximately six inches of blade overlap. Blade overlap is important on folding cutters because it helps reduce uncut strips between the center and wing sections.

Single-chain front and rear guards are listed for the current model. Guarding, blades, blade bolts, stump jumpers, skid shoes, deck condition, gearboxes, seals, clutches, drivelines, wheel bearings, hoses, cylinders, and safety shielding should be inspected before use.

Practical Tractor Match

One of the RC2512’s strongest advantages is its ability to provide 12-foot productivity without requiring the horsepower of many larger batwing cutters. Land Pride currently rates the model for tractors in the 40–100 horsepower range.

A tractor near the lower end of that range may be suitable for lighter grass and relatively level terrain. Dense vegetation, brush, steep ground, faster mowing speeds, and challenging field conditions may require considerably more available power and tractor weight.

The buyer should confirm:

• Tractor engine and PTO horsepower
• 540-rpm PTO compatibility
• Drawbar and hitch configuration
• Hydraulic remote requirements
• Tractor operating weight
• Front ballast requirements
• Tire width and stability
• Terrain and vegetation conditions

The tractor operator’s manual and the Land Pride operator’s manual should be consulted before connecting or operating the mower.
