Latest Attachments Offer Power Durability and High Performance Cutting

Land Pride has announced two exciting product additions for 2025—the RG15 Grapple and the RCF 2696 Rotary Cutter.

Dee Warren, vice president of marketing and internal operations with Land Pride, met with Farms.com to share details about each new product.

These new tools are designed for maximum productivity and compatibility across a wide range of tractors.

At the front of the tractor is the RG15 Grapple, which features a 36-inch opening—perfect for handling tough debris and clearing work.

It’s powered by Land Pride’s third function valve kit, which is available for all Kubota tractor models from the BX to the MX series, ensuring a seamless fit and easy operation.

On the back, the RCF 2696 Rotary Cutter is an 8-foot-wide unit built for heavy-duty tasks. With a 2-inch cutting capacity and a 12-inch-deep deck, it delivers a clean, high-speed cut across various terrains.

Whether you're clearing overgrown areas or maintaining large acreage, this cutter is engineered for precision and performance.

A standout feature for 2025 is Land Pride’s new 10-year gearbox warranty, now included on all gearboxes from the RCR18 series to their 20-foot cutters.

This new extended warranty highlights the company’s confidence in its products and gives customers peace of mind when investing in new equipment.

These tools make it easier than ever for farmers to manage land efficiently while maximizing their equipment investment.

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
