Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Safety at All Times

Careful operation is your best assurance against an accident.

All operators, no matter how much experience they may have, should carefully read this manual and other related manuals, or have the manuals read to them, before operating the power machine and this implement.

 Thoroughly read and understand

the “Safety Label” section. Read all instructions noted on them.

 Do not operate the equipment

while under the influence of drugs or alcohol as they impair the ability to safely and properly operate the equipment.

 The operator should be familiar

with all functions of the tractor and attached implement and be able to handle emergencies quickly.

 Make sure all guards and shields

appropriate for the operation are in place and secured before operating implement.

 Keep all bystanders away from

equipment and work area.

 Start tractor from the driver’s seat

with hydraulic controls in neutral.

 Operate tractor and controls from

the driver’s seat only.

 Never dismount from a moving

tractor or leave tractor unattended with engine running.

 Do not allow anyone to stand

between tractor and implement while backing up to implement.

 Keep hands, feet, and clothing

away from power-driven parts.

 While transporting and operating

equipment, watch out for objects overhead and along side such as fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.

 Do not turn tractor so tight as to

cause hitched implement to ride up on the tractor’s rear wheel.

 Store implement in an area where

children normally do not play. When needed, secure attachment against falling with support blocks.

Look for the Safety Alert Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution must be taken. When you see this

Be Aware of Signal Words

A signal word designates a degree or level of hazard seriousness. The signal words are:

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Safety Precautions for Children

Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children generally are attracted to implements and their work.

 Never assume children will remain

where you last saw them.

 Keep children out of the work area

and under the watchful eye of a responsible adult.

 Be alert and shut the implement

and tractor down if children enter the work area.

 Never carry children on the tractor

or implement. There is not a safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run over or interfere with the control of the power machine.

 Never allow children to operate the

power machine, even under adult supervision.

 Never allow children to play on the

power machine or implement.

 Use extra caution when backing

up. Before the tractor starts to move, look down and behind to make sure the area is clear.

symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

Tractor Shutdown & Storage

 If engaged, disengage power

take-off.

 Park on solid, level ground and

lower implement to ground or onto support blocks.

 Put tractor in park or set park

brake, turn off engine, and remove switch key to prevent unauthorized starting.

 Relieve all hydraulic pressure to

auxiliary hydraulic lines.

 Wait for all components to stop

before leaving operator’s seat.

 Use steps, grab-handles and

anti-slip surfaces when stepping on and off the tractor.

 Detach and store implement in an

area where children normally do not play. Secure implement using blocks and supports.

Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Tire Safety

 Tire changing can be dangerous

and must be performed by trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment.

 Always maintain correct tire

pressure. Do not inflate tires above recommended pressures shown in the Operator’s Manual.

 When inflating tires, use a clip-on

chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

 Securely support the implement

when changing a wheel.

 When removing and installing

wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.

 Make sure wheel bolts have been

tightened to the specified torque.

Transport Safely

 Comply with federal, state, and

local laws.

 Use towing vehicle and trailer of

adequate size and capacity. Secure equipment towed on a trailer with tie downs and chains.

 Sudden braking can cause a towed

trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed trailer is not equipped with brakes.

 Avoid contact with any overhead

utility lines or electrically charged conductors.

 Always drive with load on end of

loader arms low to the ground.

 Always drive straight up and down

steep inclines with heavy end of a tractor with loader attachment on the “uphill” side.

 Engage park brake when stopped

on an incline.

 Maximum transport speed for an

attached equipment is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrains require a slower speed.

 As a guideline, use the following

maximum speed weight ratios for attached equipment:

20 mph when weight of attached equipment is less than or equal to the weight of machine towing the equipment.

10 mph when weight of attached equipment exceeds weight of machine towing equipment but not more than double the weight.

 IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load

that is more than double the weight of the vehicle towing the load.

Use A Safety Chain

 A safety chain will help control

drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.

 Use a chain with the strength

rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed implement.

 Attach the chain to the tractor

drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.

 Always hitch the implement to the

machine towing it. Do not use the safety chain tow the implement.

Practice Safe Maintenance

 Understand procedure before doing

work. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for additional information.

 Work on a level surface in a clean

dry area that is well-lit.

 Lower implement to the ground and

follow all shutdown procedures before leaving the operator’s seat to perform maintenance.

 Do not work under any hydraulic

supported equipment. It can settle, suddenly leak down, or be lowered accidentally. If it is necessary to work under the equipment, securely support it with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.

 Use properly grounded electrical

outlets and tools.

 Use correct tools and equipment for

the job that are in good condition.

 Allow equipment to cool before

working on it.

 Disconnect battery ground cable (-)

before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before welding on implement.

 Inspect all parts. Make certain

parts are in good condition & installed properly.

 Replace parts on this implement

with genuine Land Pride parts only. Do not alter this implement in a way which will adversely affect its performance.

 Do not grease or oil implement

while it is in operation.

 Remove buildup of grease, oil, or

debris.

 Always make sure any material and

waste products from the repair and maintenance of the implement are properly collected and disposed.

 Remove all tools and unused parts

before operation.

 Do not weld or torch on galvanized

metal as it will release toxic fumes.

Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Prepare for Emergencies

 Be prepared if a fire starts.  Keep a first aid kit and fire

extinguisher handy.

 Keep emergency numbers for

doctor, ambulance, hospital, and fire department near phone.

911

Use Safety Lights and Devices

 Slow moving tractors, skid steers,

self-propelled machines, and towed equipment can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night. Use the Slow Moving Vehicle sign (SMV) when on public roads.

 Flashing warning lights and turn

signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads.

Avoid Underground Utilities

 Dig Safe, Call 811 (USA).

Always contact your local utility companies (electrical, telephone, gas, water, sewer, and others) before digging so that they may mark the location of any underground services in the area.

 Be sure to ask how close you can

work to the marks they positioned.

Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

 Wear protective clothing and

equipment appropriate for the job such as safety shoes, safety glasses, hard hat, and ear plugs.

 Clothing should fit snug without

fringes and pull strings to avoid entanglement with moving parts.

 Prolonged exposure to loud noise

can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

 Operating equipment safely

requires the operator’s full attention. Avoid wearing headphones while operating equipment.

Use Seat Belt and ROPS

 Land Pride recommends the use

of a CAB or roll-over-protectivestructures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all power machines. Combination of a CAB or ROPS and seat belt will reduce the risk of serious injury or death if the power machine should be upset.

 If ROPS is in the locked-up

position, fasten seat belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard

 Escaping fluid under pressure can

penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

 Before disconnecting hydraulic

lines or performing work on the hydraulic system, be sure to release all residual pressure.

 Make sure all hydraulic fluid

connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

 Use a piece of paper or

cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.

 Wear protective gloves and safety

glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.

 DO NOT DELAY. If an accident

occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.

Keep Riders Off Machinery

 Never carry riders on tractor or

implement.

 Riders obstruct operator’s view

and interfere with the control of the power machine.

 Riders can be struck by objects or

thrown from the equipment.

 Never use tractor or implement to

lift or transport riders.

If your tractor is not equipped with two duplex outlets, an optional control valve kit is available from your local Land Pride dealer. See “Selector Control Valve Kit” on page 40 for information about the hydraulic kit.

Before You Start

Read and understand the operator’s manual for your cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the assembly and setup of your cutter.

It is best to go through the Assembly Checklist before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly task and make the job safer by having all needed parts and equipment readily at hand.

Torque Requirements

See “Torque Values Chart” page 64 to determine correct torque values when tightening hardware. See “Additional Torque Values” at bottom of chart for exceptions to common torque values.

Assembly Checklist

Check Reference

Have a fork lift or loader with properly sized chains and safety stands capable of lifting and supporting the equipment on hand.

Have a minimum of two people available during assembly.

Make sure all major components and loose parts are shipped with the machine.

Double check to make sure all parts, fasteners, and pins are installed in the correct location. Refer to the Parts Manual if unsure. By double checking, you will lessen the chance of using a bolt incorrectly that may be needed later.

NOTE: All assembled hardware from the factory has been installed in the correct location. Remember location of a part if removed. Keep parts separated.

Make sure working parts move freely, bolts are tight & cotter pins are spread.

Make sure all grease fittings are in place and lubricated.

Make sure all safety labels are correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.

Make sure all red and amber reflectors are correctly located and visible when machine is in transport position.

Make sure all tires are inflated to the specified psi air pressure and all wheel bolts and axle nuts are tightened to the specified torque.

Hitch Types

The cutter is factory supplied with the standard clevis hitch. Other optional hitches are available. They include Land Pride Performance hitch, bar-tite hitch, ball hitch, and pintle hitch. See your nearest Land Pride dealer should you want to change your hitch set-up.

Standard Clevis Hitch

Refer to Figure 1-2:

A clevis leveling rod attached to the underside of the clevis keeps the clevis parallel with tractor drawbar at all cutting heights. Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to slots located in the clevis’ upper and lower plates and drawbar hole size.

Land Pride Performance Hitch (Optional)

Refer to Figure 1-3:

The LP Performance Hitch is a drawbar friendly, self-leveling hitch that pivots up and down and side-toside. It is held upright with customer-supplied hitch pin to allow single-person hook-up.

Bar-Tite Hitch (Optional)

Refer to Figure 1-4:

The bar-tite hitch functions similar to LP Performance hitch except it clamps directly to the drawbar. The bar-tite hitch is sandwiched between hardened steel plates to eliminate drawbar wear. It has a bushing in the tongue to extend hitch life. Bushing and hitch swivel are greasable.

Driveline Hook-up

Refer to Figure 1-18:

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or

unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the driveline.

• Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and

gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles flying off of the driveline.

• Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will

increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.

• Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each

end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

Always disengage power take-off, put tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.

CAUTION

To avoid minor or moderate injury:

Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds. Be certain your tractor’s power take-off is set at the implement’s rated power take-off speed or equipment breakage may result. RC models are rated for 540 rpm and RCM models are rated for 1000 rpm.

1. If needed, collapse driveline (#5) by pushing tractor

end of driveline against splitter gearbox.

2. Pull back on yoke locking collar (#6) and slide yoke

over tractor power take-off shaft.

3. Release locking collar (#6) and continue to push

outer yoke onto tractor power take-off shaft until locking collar snaps in place.

4. Both yoke ends of driveline (#5) should be moved

back and forth to ensure they are secured. Reattach yoke end if it is loose.

IMPORTANT: Always rotate driveline hanger down after hook-up to prevent driveline damage.

5. Rotate driveline hanger (#1) down.

IMPORTANT: The shields on the constant velocity driveline with overrunning clutch must not rotate.

6. If main driveline is constant velocity with overrunning

clutch, then attach safety chain on the inner shield to the cutter and safety chain on the outer shield to the tractor. Check safety chains to make sure they are attached to the inner and outer driveline shields.

7. If attached, remove park jack (#3) and store on

weight box. See steps 15 & 16 on page 18.

Purge Hydraulic System

Figure 1-21

Purge Hydraulic System

Refer to Figure 1-21:

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

Never remove or install a folding wing cylinder with cylinder rod retracted and wing folded up. The wing is unstable without its folding cylinder and can suddenly fall. Also, air trapped in a new or repaired cylinder will drop the wing suddenly when lowering the wing. Either situation can render the cutter inoperable and cause serious bodily injury or death.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

Be sure center and wing decks are lowered to the ground and all hydraulic pressure is relieved before disconnecting any hydraulic lines or fittings to purge the hydraulic system.

Be sure tractor reservoir is filled properly before operating hydraulic cylinders. If tractor reservoir is low on hydraulic fluid, there is a chance of drawing air into the system causing jerky or uneven cylinder movements. The wing deck lift cylinder may be purged as follows:

Wing Fold Cylinders

1. Start tractor and lower center deck until it is supported by stroke control spacers (#5) on hydraulic cylinder (#1).

2. Lower wing deck until it is resting on the ground.

3. See “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 17. Shut tractor down properly and move wing control levers back and forth to relieve all hydraulic pressure.

4. Slightly loosen hose fittings (#4) on wing folding cylinder (#3).

5. Restart tractor and slowly activate tractor control lever to extend/retract folding cylinder (#3), and to purge trapped air from the hydraulic system.

6. Shut tractor down properly, dismount, and tighten hose fittings (#4) on folding cylinder (#3).

Deck Lift Cylinders

Deck lift cylinders are rephasing cylinders and self purge if tractor control lever is held in deck lift position for and extended period.

1. Start tractor and slowly activate tractor control lift lever to extend hydraulic cylinders (#1 & #2).

2. Once cylinders (#1 & #2) are fully extended, continue to hold control lever in the deck lift position to allow time for hydraulic oil and trapped air to make a complete circuit through the hydraulic system.

3. With tractor control lever, lower and raise decks several times to verify all trapped air is removed and cylinders (#1 & #2) are operating smoothly.

4. If needed, repeat steps 1-3 until deck left cylinders operate smoothly.

Safety Information

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not walk, stand, or allow anyone else in the area where

a raised wing will fall unless the wing is securely locked in the raised position with its transport lock.

• Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high

speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is mandatory with this cutter. Double row chain guards should be used when cutting along roadways and in areas where people may be present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are in or around the area.

• Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and

gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles flying off of the driveline.

• Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before

servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.

• Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports

before working under it. Never go under equipment supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

• Do not raise wing with power take-off engaged or

drivelines rotating. Objects can be thrown by rotating blades. Always keep people away from a cutter that is operating.

• Keep everyone away from the cutter when folding or

unfolding the wing or when raising or lowering the cutter. The cutter can pinch or crush a person when performing these operations.

• Do not use cutter as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly

designed or guarded for this use.

• Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or

unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the driveline.

• Never place hands or feet under the deck or attempt to make

adjustments to the cutter with power take-off engaged. Cutter blades rotating at high speeds cannot be seen and are located close to the deck sides. Body extremities will be cut off instantly.

• This cutter is equipped with free-swinging cutting blades to

reduce shock loads. However, it is best to avoid striking solid objects for your safety and to protect the cutter from damage.

• Clear area to be cut of debris and other unforeseen

removable objects before cutting. Mark non-removable hazards such as tree stumps, post stubs, protruding objects, rocks, drop-offs, holes, etc. with a visible flag.

• Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will

increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Allow only persons to operate this implement who have

fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result from the inability to read, understand, and follow instructions provided in this manual.

• Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor

• Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can

obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with control of the equipment, be pinched by moving components, become entangled in rotating components, be struck by objects, be thrown or fall from the equipment, etc.

• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown

Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting tractor.

• Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury or death.

• Do not raise the wing off the ground when mowing across

an incline. The weight of the wing will increase the risk of a rollover.

• Operate only power machines equipped with a certified

Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

• Watch while making tight turns to ensure that the rear

tractor tires and lower 3-point arms do not make contact with cutter hitch, driveline or deck. Keep lower 3-point arms raised at all times when hitched to a pull-type cutter.

• Wait for blades to come to a complete stop before accessing

blade bolts through blade bolt access hole.

• Do not use implement to lift objects; to pull objects such as

fence posts, stumps, etc; or to push objects. The unit is not designed or guarded for these uses.

• Do not use implement to tow other equipment unless it is

designed with a tow hitch. Doing so can result in loss of control and damage the equipment.

• Do not operate a cutter with a hitch or hitch pin that is

excessively worn, bent, broken, or has structural cracks. The hitch and/or hitch pin can break apart separating cutter from tractor.

• Avoid catching hydraulic hoses on brush, posts, tree limbs,

and other protrusions that could damage and/or break them.

• Buildup of debris around moving components and

gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and gearboxes free from debris to avoid serious injury and property damage.

• Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire

hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level to avoid serious injury and property damage.

• Do not exceed rated cutting capacity of your cutter. See

specifications & capacities for specified cutting capacity. Exceeding rated cutting capacity can damage drive components, cutter blades, and deck components.

• Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such a driveline

will break apart while rotating at high speeds and can cause serious injury or death. Always remove the implement from use until the damaged driveline can be repaired or replaced.

• The cutter must be operated with wing and weight box

attached. Removing one will increase risk of rollover. Removing one or both will exposed blades. Blades rotating at high speed will cut body extremities and throw objects.

CAUTION

To avoid minor or moderate injury:

IMPORTANT: Maintain correct power take-off speed. Loss of power take-off speed will allow blades to swing back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.

IMPORTANT: If wing driveline profile is bent or twisted, disconnect that driveline from the wing gearbox before folding the wing up. This will protect both the wing and divider gearbox. Repair driveline before putting cutter back into service.

Avoid Extreme Turning Angles

Refer to Figure 3-1:

The RCB66 Series cutters are equipped with a constant velocity main driveline capable of 80o maximum turning angle. Plan your field cutting to minimize number of turns, especially extreme turning angles. Avoid tractor-to-cutter turning angles that exceed driveline maximum turning angle of 80o. If a turn sharper than 80o cannot be avoided, disengage tractor power take-off and wait for the driveline to stop rotating before making the turn.

1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in good working condition.

2. Inspect cutter safety equipment to make sure it is installed and in good working condition.

3. Check driveline to make certain it is securely connected to the tractor power take-off shaft and cutter gearbox shaft. Also, make certain that the guards are in good working condition and in place.

4. Check driveline hanger. Make sure it is rotated down away from the driveline.

5. Remove 3-point lower arms or secure them in the raised position so they do not interfere with driveline, hoses, or hitch.

6. Check all hoses and wires to be sure that they will not pinch or come in contact with rotating drivelines.

7. Start tractor and carefully raise and lower implement to ensure tractor drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact cutter or power take-off. See also “Driveline Clearance Check” on page 24

8. Raise center deck fully up.

9. Shut tractor down properly without lowering implement. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 17.

10. Place sturdy support blocks or jack stands under the four center deck corners.

11. Start tractor and lower center deck down onto the supports.

12. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 17.

13. With cutter resting on solid supports, power take-off disengaged, and blade rotation completely stopped:

• Check for and remove foreign objects wrapped

around blade spindles.

• Check for nicked, bent, broken, and worn cutting

blades. Replace or sharpen blades as required. Refer to “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on page 46.

14. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear, damage, and hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard” on page 3. Replace damaged and worn hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.

15. Make repairs to cutter and tractor before continuing with “Blade Operation Inspection” on this page.

Blade Operation Inspection

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death: Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles flying off of the driveline.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Stop power take-off immediately if vibration continues after

a few revolutions during start-up and anytime vibration occurs thereafter.

• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown

Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting tractor.

CAUTION

To avoid minor or moderate injury: Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds. Be certain your tractor’s power take-off is set at the implement’s rated power take-off speed or equipment breakage may result. RC models are rated for 540 rpm and RCM models are rated for 1000 rpm.

IMPORTANT: Read all “Safety Information” starting on page 33 before operating the cutter.

1. Make sure cutter blades are not locked against each other. See “Field Set-up” on page 37.

2. Remove support blocks or jack stands and set transport locks for field operations. See “Transport Lock” on page 36

3. Lower decks until blades are about 2" off the ground.

4. Start tractor and set throttle speed just above idle. Use tractor’s power take-off soft start option if available. Slowly engage power take-off to get blades rotating. (Also see “Engage Blades” instructions on page 38.)

5. Initial start-up vibration is normal and should stop after a few revolutions. Stop power take-off rotation immediately if vibration continues.

6. Once cutter is running smoothly, increase throttle to full power take-off speed. If cutter vibrates excessively for 3 seconds at full speed, immediately disengage power take-off, shut tractor down properly, and remove switch key.

7. Block center deck up before working under cutter.

8. Check blades for a locked-up situation. Unlock blades if locked-up.

9. Check for other probable causes such as broken or bent blades, loose blades, loose gearbox mounting bolts, and bent driveline.

10. Taking proper precautions, make necessary repairs, and adjustments.

Transporting

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always raise wing and set transport lock before

transporting from one work site to another and before traveling on public roadways. The wing can fall if not secured with the transport lock.

• When traveling on public roads, use LED lights, slow

moving vehicle sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your presence. If implement blocks visibility of slow moving vehicle sign, relocate sign so it is visible from the back at all times. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.

• Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel

at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.

• Watch while making tight turns to ensure that the rear

tractor tires and lower 3-point arms do not make contact with cutter hitch, driveline or deck. Keep lower 3-point arms raised at all times when hitched to a pull-type cutter.

IMPORTANT: The Slow Moving Vehicle sign should not be used when transporting equipment on a truck or trailer that exceeds speeds of 25 mph. Cover or remove the sign on equipment being hauled.

1. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from one area to another. Maximum transport speed for the Rotary Cutter is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED.

2. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave enough clearance so the cutter does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.

3. Always raise cutter wing and set transport lock pin before traveling on public roadways.

4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.

Road Side Cutting

Land Pride recommends the Rotary Cutter be equipped with chain guards to stop flying objects when cutting road sides. Refer to “Safety Guard Options” on page 40.

Use the LED flashing lights on the cutter to make yourself more visible when cutting road sides.

Field Set-up

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death: Clear area to be cut of debris and other unforeseen removable objects before cutting. Mark non-removable hazards such as tree stumps, post stubs, protruding objects, rocks, drop-offs, holes, etc. with a visible flag.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death: The following operational procedures should be carried out by the tractor operator. Other persons should not be in the area. All cutter operations including field set-up should be stopped when other persons are in the vicinity.

IMPORTANT: Cutting should not be done in wet conditions. Wet material will build up on the deck underside causing additional power consumption, high wear, and poor discharge.

Field Inspection

1. Thoroughly inspect area to be cut for debris and unforeseen objects. Remove all potential hazards and mark any that cannot be removed.

Unfold Wing and Set Deck Cutting Height

Refer to Figure 3-4:

IMPORTANT: Cutting blades may become locked together (overlapped) when the wing is raised for transport. Operating cutter in this condition will result in severe deck vibration. Inspect wing for locked blades prior to power-on operation.

Table of Contents

Set Wing Lift Lever In Float Position

IMPORTANT: When operating, the wing folding lever

should be in float position to avoid damage to the wing hydraulic cylinder and axle while cutting on uneven terrain.

Use the float position of your tractor’s hydraulic system to provide automatic floating of the wing for varying terrain conditions. This will ensure that the wing gauge wheel is in continuous contact with the ground at all times.

Rephasing Lift Cylinders

The lift cylinders may, after a period of time, get out of time or phase. The effects of this can be seen when one deck of the cutter is higher or lower than the other because its lift cylinder is retracted more than the other lift cylinder. Also, tractors with pressure detentes do not allow hydraulic systems to “automatically” rephase at the top of the lift cycle. This must be done manually or the rephasing cylinders will not function properly.

To rephase lift cylinders manually, raise cutter completely up and hold tractor hydraulic lever on for several seconds more to give cylinders time to rephase. This should be done each time the cutter is raised and whenever the decks are uneven.

Momentarily reversing the hydraulic lever immediately after rephasing allows the cylinders to retract about 1/2" and will help maintain a level cutter during transport.

Select Gear Range

Optimum ground speed depends on density of material being cut, horsepower rating of tractor, and (in some cases) terrain. Always operate tractor at cutter’s full-rated power take-off speed in a gear range that allows the cutter to make a smooth cut without lugging the tractor down, usually between 2 to 5 mph. Loss of power take-off speed will allow the blades to hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.

Engage Blades

IMPORTANT: Cutter blades can lock-up against

each other during start-up and shut-down, especially if tractor’s power take-off engagement is “INSTANT ON” and/or “INSTANT OFF”. Follow Blade Engagement and Blade Disengagement instructions to help eliminate blade lock up.

1. Select a gear range that will allow cutter to make a smooth cut without lugging the tractor down. See “Select Gear Range” above for instructions.

2. With wing lowered, increase throttle to a speed just enough to get the cutter started without stalling tractor while slowly engaging power take-off. Use tractor’s power take-off soft start option if available.

3. Ensure all power shafts are rotating and cutter is not vibrating excessively after ramping up to full power take-off speed for at least 3 seconds. If excessive vibration continues after 3 seconds at full power takeoff speed, disengage power take-off immediately, shut down tractor, and remove switch key. Wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.

4. Investigate the cause if cutter was shut down due to excessive vibration. See “Blade Operation Inspection” on page 35 for detailed instructions.

5. Periodically, shut tractor down properly and dismount to do an inspection. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 17 for proper shut down procedure.

6. Periodically, shut tractor down properly and dismount to do an inspection. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 17 for proper shut down procedure.

7. Dismount tractor and check for objects wrapped around blade spindles. Block deck up before removing objects.

8. Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts. Tighten all loose hardware as indicated in the

“Torque Values Chart” on page 64.

Disengage Blades

1. Slowly decrease throttle speed until engine idle speed is reached.

2. Disengage power take-off.

3. Stay on the tractor until the blades have come to a complete stop. Always place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor engine off, and remove switch key before dismounting.

General Operating Instructions

Now that you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s Manual, completed the Operator’s Checklist, properly attached your cutter to your tractor, made the right leveling adjustments, and preset your cutting height, you’re almost ready to begin using your Land Pride RCB6610 or RCBM6610 Series 2 Smooth Top Rotary Cutter.

It’s now time to do a running operational safety check. If at any time during this safety check you detect a malfunction in either the cutter or tractor, shut the tractor off immediately, remove the key, and make necessary repairs or adjustments before continuing on.

Make sure the tractor’s park brake is engaged, tractor’s power take-off is disengaged, and cutter is resting on the ground with the wing down. Start tractor and back throttle off until the engine is at a low idle. With tractor’s rear hydraulic lift control lever, raise the cutter to transport position making sure that the power take-off shaft is not in a bind and does not come in contact with the cutter frame. Lower unit to cutting position and with the tractor still at a low idle, engage power take-off shaft. If everything is running smoothly at this point, increase engine rpm until the tractors engine reaches full power take-off operating speed which will be either 540 or 1000 rpm. Slowly raise the cutter to transport height to make sure the driveline does not bind or chatter. Then return engine to low idle, disengage power take-off, and position adjustable stops on the cutter’s hydraulic lift cylinder so the cutter can be consistently returned to the same cutting and transport height. Watch while making a tight turn to ensure that the rear tractor tires do not contact the deck or hitch. Also, be sure tractor 3-point arms are raised and will not contact main driveline.

You should now be ready to transport to your cutting site at a safe ground speed. On roadways, transport in such a manner that faster moving vehicles can easily see you and pass you safely. Reduce your speed when traveling over rough and hilly terrain. Avoid quick or sharp steering corrections. Take extra care to ensure that the cutter doesn’t come into contact with obstacles such as trees, buildings, or fences. Use optional light kit and appropriate reflective devices to provide adequate warning to pedestrians and other vehicle operators when traveling on public roads and in the dark of night. Comply with all local, state and federal laws.

It is important that you inspect the area where you will be cutting and clear it of safety hazards and foreign objects either before or after you arrive at the cutting site. Never assume the area is clear. Cut only in areas which you are familiar with and are free of debris and unseen objects. Extremely tall grass should be cut twice to detect potential hazards. In the event you do strike an object stop the cutter and tractor immediately to inspect and make necessary repairs to the cutter before resuming operation. It really pays to inspect a new area and to develop a safe plan before cutting.

To produce a clean cut, normal mowing speed will be between 2-5 mph at full tractor power take-off speed. Make a tractor gear and range selection that will maintain this combination. Generally the quality of cut will be better at lower ground speeds and cutting denser ground cover may create the need to slow down. You will want to avoid very low cutting heights especially on extremely uneven terrain. Always cut downward on slopes and avoid crossing the face of steep slopes. Avoid sharp drops and cross diagonally through dips to prevent hanging up the tractor and cutter. Slow down in turns and avoid sharp turns if at all possible. Remember to look back often.

Now that you’re prepared and well briefed you may begin cutting. Begin cutting by doing the following:

• Reduce tractor’s engine rpm

• Make sure cutter wing is on the ground and in cutting

position.

• Engage power take-off, raise engine rpm to the

appropriate power take-off speed, and begin mowing.

Operators of models with a conventional main driveline must plan ahead and choose a cutting pattern that allows for wider turns. Try increasing or decreasing ground speed to determine the effect on quality of cut. With a little practice you will be pleased with what you and your Land Pride Smooth Top Cutter can do.

When you are done mowing, need to take a break, or just need to make a few adjustments to the cutter, remember to always do the following:

• Reduce tractor’s engine rpm and disengage power

take-off.

• Stop on level ground, place gear selector in park or set

park brake, turn off engine, remove switch key, and stay on the tractor until cutter blades have come to a complete stop.

Safety Guard Options

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is mandatory with this cutter. Double row chain guards should be used when cutting along roadways and in areas where people may be present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are in or around the area.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

Keep all safety guards in place. Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds. Use extreme caution when cutting in areas where people may be present. It is best to operate the cutter when no one is nearby. Stop blade rotation if someone is in or around the area.

Land Pride offers four types of safety guards to best suit your application: rubber skirt guards, single row chainguards, double row chainguards, and double row chainguards with cable.

• Rubber skirt guards are designed for light duty

applications.

• Single row chainguards are constructed with a single

row of hanging chain links. They can withstand harsher applications than rubber skirts.

• Double row chainguards are constructed with two

staggered rows of hanging chain links. The second row provides an additional barrier for stopping thrown objects.

• Double row chainguards with cable are constructed

with a double row of hanging chain links and a steel cable threaded through the bottom hanging chain links. This restricts the hanging links from spreading apart when hit by solid objects.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

General Maintenance Information

Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life of any implement. With careful inspection and routine maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.

The parts on your Rotary Cutter have been specially designed and should only be replaced with genuine Land Pride parts. Do not alter the cutter in a way which will adversely affect its performance.

Check all bolts and pins after using the cutter for several hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are tight and secured. Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports before working under it. Never go under equipment supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

Tire Maintenance

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed

by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment. When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.

• Always release all air pressure in air-filled airplane tires

before removing hardware bolting the split rims together. Not doing so can cause the split rims to blow apart instantly and could result in serious injury or death.

• When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose

long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available. Do not over inflate tires.

• Do not weld on or heat a rim. High heat can weaken and/or

warp the rim and damage the tire. Air pressure inside the tire can increase enough to cause an explosion.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury or death.

• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown

Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting tractor.

• Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement

with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the implement. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

• Buildup of debris around moving components and

gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and gearboxes free from debris to avoid serious injury and property damage.

• Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire

hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level to avoid serious injury and property damage.

Hydraulic System

One of the most important things you can do to prevent hydraulic system problems is ensure that your tractor's reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.

Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching them to your tractor. Replace your tractor’s hydraulic filter element at the prescribed intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.

Cutter Blade Maintenance

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before

servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.

• Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not operate cutter with blades that are out-of-balance,

bent, excessively worn, excessively nicked, or with blade bolts that are excessively worn. Such blades can break loose at high speeds.

• Wait for blades to come to a complete stop before accessing

blade bolts through blade bolt access hole.

• Wear eye protection and gloves while inspecting, removing,

sharpening, and replacing a blade.

• Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade or weld on a

blade. Do not attempt to modify a blade such as hard surfacing, heat treating, cold treating, or by any other method. Always replace blades with new Land Pride blades to assure safety.

IMPORTANT: Cutting blades must be replaced in mating pairs. Not replacing both blades will result in an out-of-balance condition that will contribute to premature bearing breakdown on the spindle hub and create structural cracks in the cutter housing.

Always inspect cutting blades before each use. Make certain they are properly installed and in good working condition. Replace any blade that is damaged, worn, bent, or excessively nicked. Never try to straighten a bent blade! Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening. Refer to Figure 5-7 on page 46 when ordering Land Pride replacement blade components.

Remove cutting blades and sharpen or replace as follows:

1. Park on a level, solid surface. Place tractor in park or set park brake. Unfolded the wing deck until it is resting on the ground. Fully extend deck lift cylinder to lift center and wing decks up.

2. With wing unfolded and deck lift cylinder fully extended, shut tractor down. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 17.

3. Place solid support blocks under the decks.

4. Start tractor and retract deck lift cylinder until the center and wing decks are resting securely on the support blocks.

9. Refer to Figure 5-7 for part numbers if ordering Land Pride replacement blades

10. Both blades should be sharpened at the same angle as the original cutting edge and must be replaced or re-ground at the same time to maintain proper balance in the cutting unit. The following precautions should be taken when sharpening blades:

a. Do not remove more material than necessary.

b. Do not heat and pound out a cutting edge.

c. Do not grind blades to a razor edge. Leave a blunt

cutting edge approximately 1/16" thick.

d. Always grind cutting edge so end of blade remains

square to cutting edge and not rounded.

e. Do not sharpen back side of blade.

f. Both blades should weigh the same with not more

than 1 1/2 oz. difference. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration which can damage gearbox bearings and create structural cracks.

Refer to Figure 5-8 or Figure 5-9:

11. Carefully check cutting edges of blades in relation to blade carrier rotation to ensure correct blade placement. Cutter blades must be installed with cutting edge leading in rotation.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

A locknut that has been removed can lose its thread locking properties. Reusing a used locknut can result in a thrown blade. Always use a new locknut when installing blades.

IMPORTANT: Examine blade bolts and their flat washers for excessive wear and replace if worn.

12. Insert blade bolt (#1) through blade (#6), dishpan (#4), and flat washer (#2). Secure blade with a new locknut (#3) and torque to 450 ft-lbs.

13. If replacing RC56 Series dishpan (#4) or RC66 Series blade bar (#10), nut (#7) on gearbox output shaft should be torqued to 550 ft-lbs. minimum and secured with cotter pin (#8) with both legs bent opposite directions around the nut.

14. Replace rubber plug (#5).

15. Reconnect main driveline to tractor power take-off shaft and remove support blocks.

Drivelines With Slip Clutches

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown

Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting tractor.

• A slip clutch that has been in use or has slipped for as little

as only two or three seconds during run-in may be too hot to touch. Allow a hot clutch to cool before working on it.

IMPORTANT: Prior to initial operation and after 10 days of inactivity, slip friction disks to remove oxidation and moisture. Moisture allows disks to slip easily. Oxidation can prevent disk from slipping causing driveline damage. This damage is NOT covered under the warranty.

Friction clutches must be capable of slippage during operation to protect gearboxes, drivelines, and other drive train parts. Friction clutches should be “run-in” prior to initial operation and after periods of inactivity to remove any oxidation from the friction surfaces. Repeat “run-in” at the beginning of each season and when moisture seizes the inner friction plates.

Type A Clutches

Clutch Run-In

Refer to Figure 5-11:

1. Using a pencil or other marker, scribe a line across the exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction disks.

2. Carefully loosen each of the 8 spring retainer nuts by exactly 2 revolutions. It will be necessary to hold hex end of retainer bolt in order to count the exact number of revolutions.

3. Make sure the area is clear of all bystanders and machine is safe to operate.

4. Start tractor and engage power take-off for 2-3 seconds to permit slippage of the clutch surfaces. Disengage power take-off, then re-engage a second time for 2-3 seconds. Disengage power take-off, shut off tractor, and remove key. Wait for all components to stop before dismounting from tractor.

5. Inspect clutch and ensure that the scribed markings made on the clutch plates have changed position. Slippage has not occurred if any two marks on the friction disk and plate are still aligned. A clutch that has not slipped must be disassembled to separate the friction disk plates. See “Clutch Disassembly, Inspection & Assembly” on page 49 below.

6. Tighten each of the 8 spring retainer nuts on the clutch housing exactly 2 revolutions to restore clutch to original setting pressure.

7. Allow clutch to cool to ambient temperature before operating again. Clutch is now ready for use.

8. The clutch should be checked during the first hour of cutting and periodically each week. An additional set of scribe marks can be added to check for slippage. See Figure 5-13 on page 50 to adjust spring length.

Inspection

Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean all parts that do not require replacement.The original friction disk thickness is 1/8" (3.2mm) and should be replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1mm). If clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the friction disks may be damaged and should be replaced. Heat build-up may also affect the yoke joints.

Assembly

Reassemble each friction disk (#4) next to the metal plate it was separated from. Install bolts (#3) through end plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place springs (#2) over the bolts and secure with nuts (#1).

Refer to Figure 5-13:

Progressively tighten each spring retainer bolt until correct spring height “A” is reached.

Refer to Figure 5-14:

1. Using a pencil or other marker, scribe a line across the exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction disks.

2. Carefully loosen each of the 6 nuts by exactly 1 revolution. It will be necessary to hold hex end of retainer bolt in order to count the exact number of revolutions.

3. Make sure the area is clear of all bystanders and machine is safe to operate.

4. Start tractor and engage power take-off at idle for 23 seconds to permit slippage of friction plates. Disengage power take-off, shut off tractor, and remove key. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop before dismounting from tractor.

5. Inspect clutch to ensure that the scribed markings made on the clutch plates and friction disc have changed positions. If any two marks are still aligned, then the clutch did not slip as it should. Skip to step 8 if all clutch plates slipped.

6. If the friction clutch did not slip, loosen the nuts one more revolution. Make sure the nuts have full thread engagement on the bolt and then repeat steps 4 - 5.

7. A clutch that does not slip must be disassembled to separate the friction disk plates. See “Clutch Disassembly, Inspection & Assembly” below.

8. Tighten each of the nuts on the clutch back to their original location to restore clutch pressure.

9. Allow clutch to cool to ambient temperature before operating again. Clutch is now ready for use.

10. The clutch should be checked during the first hour of cutting and periodically each week. An additional set of scribe marks can be added to check for slippage.

Type B 4 Plate Clutch Assembly

Figure 5-15

Clutch Disassembly, Inspection & Assembly

The clutch must be disassembled into its separate friction disks if clutch run-in procedure indicated that one or more friction disks did not slip. See disassembly instructions.

Disassembly

IMPORTANT: Do not remove nuts (#8) from

bolts (#7) until after Belleville spring (#6) is relaxed and not pressing against any of the six nuts (#8).

Refer to Figure 5-15:

1. Unscrew nuts (#8) equal amounts until all belleville spring tension is removed. Do not remove nuts until tension against all nuts has been removed.

2. Remove nuts (#8) and bolts (#7).

3. Separate all friction disks (#2) from plates (#4 & #5), hub (#3) and yoke flange (#1).

Inspection

Assembly

1. Reassemble each friction disk (#2) next to the metal plate it was separated from.

2. Install bolts (#7) through end plates and intermediate plates as shown and secure with nuts (#8).

IMPORTANT: Measurement “B” is an approximate distance. Variations in spring force and friction materials may cause some differences in torque values. Tightening nuts (#8) one revolution will compress 4-plate clutch 1.75mm (.069").

3. Tighten belleville spring (#6) until spring is tight against drive plate (#4) & then back nuts (#8) up 3 and 1/6 revolutions, “B” = 5.5 mm (0.217”). If a higher torque is needed, then tighten nuts another 1/6 of a revolution, Do not set gap “B” smaller than 5 mm (0.197").

Long Term Storage

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to the implement when storing it for long periods and at the end of the season. This will help to ensure the unit is ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before

servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.

• Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports

1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck area to minimize oxidation.

2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on page 46.

3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts, and adjust or replace as needed.

4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-up bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.

Ordering Replacement Parts

Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige with black highlights. This implement may also be purchased in Orange, Green, or Red.

CV = Constant Velocity

Type of Lubrication: Multi-purpose Grease

For instructions on how to access grease zerks shown in Figure 5-16, see “Accessing CV Driveline Joints” on page 58.

IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the constant velocity joint, extensive lubrication must be performed every 8 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT: Attach safety chain (#1) to tractor frame. Attach safety chain (#2) to cutter frame.

• The constant velocity joint should be greased in a

straight position forcing grease through the passages and into the cavity. After lubrication, grease should be visible around the ball joints.

• Grease fittings located on the u-joints and driveline

shields should be lubricated every 8 hours of operation.

LED signal lights

Hinged wing sections

Greasable wing folding hinge Provides for a long hinge life and allows the wing to fold up and down with less stress. 1" Solid hinge rods Gives greater strength to the cutter from front to rear, and in the hinge area itself. Wing transport lock Holds transport wing in the folded-up position in case of hydraulic pressure loss.

Collapsible 1" Leveling rods

Enclosed dual leveling rods

5-Bolt hubs 5-Bolt hubs makes the wheel assembly more durable and longer lasting.

Drain holes in wheel rims

Spring-cushioned trailing arms Provides independent suspension, cushions loads on drawbar.

All Land Pride Cutters have been designed and tested to meet rigorous voluntary testing procedures according to ISO 4254-13.

Serves as a support rest for the driveline when the cutter is unhooked from the tractor. Assist operator when attaching driveline to tractor power take-off shaft.

Holds up to shock loads and harsh mowing conditions. Constant velocity (CV) U-joint allows for 80 degree turns without doing damage to the driveline.

Intermediate and wing driveline cross journals are easier to grease. All drivelines have access holes for greasing the U-joints and inner profiles.

Protects drivelines and gearboxes by slipping clutches rather than twisting the driveline when impacts are encountered.

Heavy round stump jumper for protecting the gearbox seal and gearbox output shaft. Can hold up to tough conditions.

Spindle nut and threads extending beyond the nut are guarded to protect against damage from hitting solid objects.

LED lights are bright, long lasting, and resistant to vibration, unlike incandescent counterparts.

Allows cutter to follow terrain. Ideal for rough ground where hillsides, ditches, and hollows can cause uneven cutting.

Prevents damage and failure to leveling rods. Large diameter leveling rods provide superior supporting strength over rough terrain.

Dual leveling rods enable the cutter to pull equally on the rear axle during travel over rough terrain. Many competitors only use one leveling rod.

Allows water to drain from wheels mounted on folded-up wing. Helps prevent paint deterioration and rusting to the wheel rims.
