Introduction

Table of Contents

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.

This implement has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Application

Land Pride’s 25 Series Rear Discharge Grooming Mower is an excellent choice for homeowners, campuses, parks and golf courses. They are adapted for category 1 threepoint hitch mounting on tractors in the 15 to 50hp range. They are also Quick Hitch adaptable. The tapered rear design eliminates the need for rear safety chains and greatly reduces the tendency to deposit unsightly clumps of damp grass. When weather conditions allow for regular and frequent mowing intervals the rear discharge feature allows for excellent cutting quality and a very well groomed finish. Clippings are evenly discharged close behind the mower avoiding streets, sidewalks and landscaping. The FDR25 Series also features a floating 3-point system to allow for excellent contour following capabilities over hilly and uneven terrain.

See “Section 6: Features and Benefits” on page 23 for additional information.
