▲ Turning tractor too tight may cause
hitched machinery to ride up on
wheels. This could result in injury
or equipment damage.
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
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
!
Be Aware of
Signal Words

level of hazard seriousness. The
signal words are:
!
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is limited to the most
extreme situations, typically for
machine components that, for
functional purposes, cannot be
guarded.
For Your Protection
▲ Thoroughly read and understand
the “Safety Label” section, read
all instructions noted on them.
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

Important Safety Information
These 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 should be performed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
▲ 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.
▲ When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with 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 trailer
to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if trailer is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Avoid contact with any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
▲ Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
▲ Maximum transport speed for an
attached implement 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
an attached implement:
20 mph when weight of attached
implement is less than or equal to
the weight of machine towing the
implement.
10 mph when weight of attached
implement exceeds weight of
machine towing implement but
not more than double the weight.
▲ IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the machine 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
machinery.
▲ Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
▲ Do not use safety chain for towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before doing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean dry area.
▲ Lower attached implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲ Allow implement to cool before
working on it.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding
on implement.
▲ Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make certain
parts are in good condition &
installed properly.
▲ Replace parts on this machine with
genuine Land Pride parts only. Do
not alter this machine in a way
which will adversely affect its
performance.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused parts
from implement before operation.

Important Safety Information
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲ Slow moving tractors, self-
propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
▲ Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.
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.
Wear
Protective Equipment
▲ 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 radio
headphones while operating
machinery.
Avoid High
Pressure Fluids Hazard
▲ Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines or performing work
on the system.
▲ 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.
911
Avoid Underground
Utilities
▲ Dig Safe, Call 811.
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.
Use Seat Belt and ROPS
▲ Operate only tractors and skid
steers equipped with a Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) and
seat belt.
▲ Keep folding ROPS in the “locked
up” position at all times.
▲ Fasten seat belt snugly and
securely to help protect against
serious injury or death from falling
and machine overturn.
▲ Wear protective equipment such
as a hard hat, safety shoes, safety
glasses, and ear plugs.
Keep Riders Off
Machinery
▲ Never carry riders or use
machinery as a person lift.
▲ Riders obstruct operator’s view.
▲ Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the
machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate
equipment.

IMPORTANT: A special point of information related

information must be read & noted before continuing.
NOTE: A special point of information that the
operator should be aware of before continuing.
Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Pasture Aerator 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 this machine.
Application
The Land Pride 25 Series Pasture Aerators are pull type
Aerators designed to hitch to a standard drawbar or a
hammer strap type drawbar. They have uses and
applications in agricultural conservation tillage and
pasture renovations and are available in 8 ft. and 10 ft.
widths. The heavy duty knife like tines on the Aerator are
designed with a twist in them to fracture compacted soil
as they slice into the ground in a twisting fashion. This
fracturing of the soil conditions the soil to soak-up run-off
water faster, allow fertilizer to penetrate deeper into the
ground and increase oxygen supply to the plant roots.
The twisted tines are constructed of hardened forged
steel mounted on a heavy duty rotating shaft that can be
angled up to 7 1/2
concrete weights can be added to the Aerator. These
weights provide significantly increased down pressure on
the tines.
See “Specifications and Capacities” on page 21 and
“Features and Benefits” on page 22 for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
