Section 1: Assembly & Set-Up

Tractor Requirements

Weight & Horsepower

Tractor rating should be between 65 - 100 horsepower. Tractors outside this range must not be used.

Weight

WARNING

Ballast weights may be requiredto maintain steering control. Refer to your tractor’s Operator’s Manual to determine proper ballast requirements.

Tractor weight must be capable of controlling the 3-Way Rear Blade under all operating conditions. An underweight tractor is difficult to steer. Do not use tractors that are too light. See Important Note Below.

3-Point Hitch Assembly

A 3-Point Category l or II hitch is required. The lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to preventside-to-side movement.Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

Hardware Torque Requirements

See “Torque Values Chart” on page 28 to determine correct torque values when tightening hardware.

Assembly & Set-Up Safety

DANGER

Rear Blade components are very heavy and can injure a person should they suddenly fall from a lifting device or improvised supports. Always make certain components are properly secured before lifting and properly supported on the ground before removing lifting device. Always keep feet and other extremities clear of areas where components can fall.

Hydraulic Outlets

DANGER

Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate skin. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.

The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets at the tractor is dependent upon how the 3-Way Rear Blade is set-up.

• No outlets are required if the 3-Way Rear Blade is

set-up with manual links and ratchet jackets only.

• One to three duplex outlets are required if the 3-Way

Rear Blade is set-up with any one or more of the following hydraulic cylinders; Offset Cylinder, Tilt Cylinder, and Angle Cylinder. Each cylinder will requires a duplex outlet at the tractor.

A Selector Valve Kit may be purchased through your local Land Pride dealer if your tractor does not have the required number of duplex outlets. The selector valve provides a way to operate 2 hydraulic cylinders through oneduplex outlet at the tractor.See “Hydraulic Selector Valve” on page 14 for Kit Part No. and assembly instructions.

DANGER

Do not use blade tilt to raise tractor tires off the ground. Improper use of the Rear Blade can damaged the unit. Also, the hydraulic system can burst dropping the tractor causing serious injury or death.

WARNING

Do not use Rear Blade for pulling objects out of the ground, lifting objects, carrying objects, pushing other equipment, or towing other equipment. Any of the above can result in Rear Blade damage, serious bodily injury or death.

DANGER

Always keep a safe distance from obstructions. The blade can extend beyond tractor tires and will make a wide swinging pattern when turning. Never hit a solid object with blade as this can damage property and cause tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of control, serious injury, or death.

WARNING

Operate blade only from a tractor equipped with a ROPS in the raised position or with a ROPS cab and with seat belt securely fastened.

WARNING

CAUTION

Never angle, tilt, or offset blade into tractor tires. This can damage blade and tractor tires.

General Safety

DANGER

Do not allow anyone to operate this implement who has not been properly trained in its safe operation and do not let children operate the implement.

DANGER

Never carry a person on the Rear Blade. A person can fall and be ran over causing serious injury or death.

DANGER

Always support underside of Rear Blade with solid blocking before working beneath unit. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment instantly if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the Rear Blade even when power to hydraulics is shut off.

Inspection After Hook-Up

Makethe followinginspections after attaching the 3-Way Rear Blade to the tractor:

1. Carefully raise and lower the implement to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact the frame and moldboard.

2. Carefully pivot blade fully clockwise and offset blade to align end of moldboard with tractor tire. Raise and lower implement to ensure tractor tire and tractor do not contact end of blade.

3. Carefully pivot blade fully counterclockwise and offset blade to align end of moldboard with tractor tire.Raise and lowerimplement to ensure tractortire and tractor do not contact end of blade.

4. 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 Pr ide parts.

Transporting

DANGER

When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operatorsof other vehicles. Comply with all federal,state,and local laws.

DANGER

Make sure Rear Blade does not block tractor’s Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign while transporting on a road. Install a SMV sign on the Rear Blade if tractor’s SMV sign is blocked. Traffic not alerted to a slow moving tractor might hit the tractor causing serious injury or death.

1. Do not operate a tractor that has weak or broken brakes or worn tires.

2. When traveling on roadways:

• Transportwith blade centered behind the tractor to

minimize blade overhang.

• Transport with blade facing forward so that the red

decals face back and amber decal face front.

• Transport in such a way that faster moving

vehicles may pass you safely.

• Slow down if traveling on a wet slick road.

3. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly terrain and when going downhill.

4. Leave enough clearance on both sides of the Rear Blade when traveling straight and making turns to keep blade from contacting obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

Rear Blade Functions

IMPORTANT: Neverangle, offset,or tilt bladeunder

load. This can damage the blade, pivot pins and mainframe. Always remove load before operating hydraulics.

The warranty shall not apply to damage caused by misuse, abuse, or contact with obstr uctions.

Grading

Pivot moldboard to the desired angle, lower blade to the ground, and set the tractor’s draft-link height control to the desired position. Proceed forward at a speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should immediately begin shaving the surface.

A blade full of material can be raised slightly so that materialcan flowout evenlyunder thebladeto effectively shave off high spots and fill in potholes or depressions. Loose soil can be smoothed out by pushing the soil with the back of the moldboard while backing-up.

Edge work

Material close to fences, buildings, and other obstructions can be graded by offsetting the moldboard to the right or left beyond the tractor tire. Always make certain end of blade is offset far enough to be visible to the operator. Always keep a safe distance away from obstructions, drive slowly when passing by them and stay clear of them when turning. Always be aware that the bladewill make a wide swingingpattern in a turn and alwaysbe ready to stop immediately to keep from hitting an obstruction. Never hit an obstruction as this can damage the blade and/or obstruction.

Ditch Work

The Rear Blade is good for making V-type ditches. Tilt one end of the moldboard down to the desired ditching angle. Offset that end to be in line with the tractor’s rear tire and pivot the other end of the moldboard back away from the tractor’sother rear tire. The combined offset angle and pivot angle should be between 45oand 60o.

Operatethe tractorat slow speeds when cleaninga ditch or removing snow. Be careful not to hit hidden solid objects that can damage the Rear Blade. Always be ready to stop immediately. Remember, the lighter the blade load, the easier it is for the tractor to damage the blade when hitting solid objects.

Fill ditches by offsetting the blade beyond the tractor wheel to keep the tractor out of the ditch. Angle blade to move dirt towards and into the ditch while traveling forward. Set blade depth as needed (see “Grading” instructions on this page when setting blade depth).

Backfilling

Backfilling is a process where the operator turns the blade around 180oand pushes the product while backing-up. Be careful not to overstress the Rear Blade while backfilling as load forces on the blade and frame increase when backing up. To help protect the Rear Bladefrom damage, lengthen the tractor’scentertop link until the blade will move across the top of the ground without forcing itself into the soil, adjust the offset to be straight behind the tractor and set the blade angle at 90 (perpendicular to the Mainframe). Keep the load in the center of the blade and not on the end of the blade.Don’t ram a load with the blade and always operate at slow speedswhen backing-up.Be readyto stop immediatelyif a solid object is hit. Removing snow while backing-up is especiallydangerous as snow can hide solid objectsand there is a tendency to drive too fast to get the snow removal job done. High speeds multiply forces exerted on the Rear Blade.

Un-Hooking the 3-Way Rear Blade

Un-hook 3-Way Rear Blade from the tractor as follows:

1. Parkon a level solid hard surface. Place tractor gear selector in park and set park brake.

2. Lower parking jack and secure with hitch pin.

3. Lower blade and parking jack onto level ground or onto blocks supporting the unit just above ground.

4. Shut tractor engine off and remove key.

5. If coupled to hydraulic cylinder(s), move hydraulic control lever(s) back and forth several times to relieverhydraulicpressure at the couplings and then unhook couplings from the tractor and store on the RearBlade frame tokeepcouplings up outof the dirt.

6. If necessar y, adjust length of upper center 3-Point link until the hitch pin can be removed from the hitch frame.

7. Removehitchpins fromthe lower3-Pointarms atthe hitch frame.

8. Reinstall hitch pins and linch pins in the Rear Blade hitch frame for storage.

9. Refer to “Storage” instructions on page 23 when storing the Rear Blade for a long time.

Basic Operating Instructions

1. Thoroughly Inspect the work area for buried utility cables, pipelines, sprinkler heads, and any unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.

2. Placegrade stakesif youintend to developa specific grade or soil level.

3. Adjust blade to the desired angle, tilt, and offset position before lowering blade to the ground.

4. Lower blade to the ground and proceed forward at a speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should immediately begin shaving the soil surface.

5. Set tractor’s draft-link height control lever to the desired grade position. If blade is set at a 90 degree angleto the directionof travel,it maybenecessaryto raisethebladeslightly sothat dirtand gravelcan flow outevenlyunder the blade as it shavesoff high spots and fills in potholes or depressions.

General Operating Instructions

Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s Manual, completed the operations checklist, and properly attached your Land Pride Rear Blade to your tractor, you are now almost ready to begin work. The RBT40 Series Rear Blades were designed and built by LandPr ide forcategory I or II three-point hitch and Quick Hitch attachment to 60 to 100 hp tractors equipped with remote hydraulic outlets and two wheeled drive capability. Tractors with 4-wheeled drive capability may also be used but additional care must be taken when making tight turns with 4-wheel driveengaged and blade inworking positionor pivotarm damage may occur. They are ideal for snow removal as well as dirt leveling,finish grading, and backfilling applications at feedlots,outdoor arenas, building and construction sites, and maintenance operations on farm and ranch lanes or roadways.Theyarealso excellentforsoil contouring and construction and maintenance of ditches and waterways.

Hopefully you have checked out your work site for any buried utility cables, pipelines, sprinkler heads, or other obstacles that you wouldn’t want to damage or encounter. Grade stakes should now be in place if you intendto developa specific grade,elevation,soilcontour, orroadbed crown.A RBT40 SeriesRear Blade’sprimary purpose is for grading or leveling of soil, gravel, or aggregate in the warmer months or snow removal in the colder months. These functions are best done at an approximate 2 to 4mph ground speed. Becoming proficient with a rear blade takes practice.

Tractor horsepower, your personal skill level, soil or aggregatecomposition, moisturelevels,and compaction factors will all have a definite impact on how easily and effectively you get the job done when you are in the dirt working mode. Develop a plan to achieve your expected results. Set the blade up at the proper angle or angles to do the job. The hydraulic angling, tilt, and offset capabilities of the RBT40 series will make these adjustments easy utilizing the tractors remote hydraulic

controls. This may require some experimentation to achieve the desired results. Lower the blade to the ground and proceed forward at a speed of no more than 2 to 4mph. The blade should immediately begin shaving the soil surface and dirt or aggregate material. Set the tractor’sdraft-link height control in the desired position. With the blade set at a 90 degree angle you may need to raise the blade slightly so that the dirt or gravel can flow out evenly under the blade effectively shaving off high spots and filling in potholes or depressions.

Ifyouhavethe blade setat a horizontalangle, theshaved or accumulated material will begin to move outward toward the trailing edge of the blade. The greater the angle the more quickly the shaved material will be distributed off to the side. If it is necessary to work up next to a building foundation, abutment, or raised curb youmay want to offset the bladeso that theoutside edge of the blade is beyond the outer edge of the tractor tire in working position. Back-filling operations may be more easily performed by reversing the blade and operating thetractor in reverse or commonly calledthe push mode. Be careful not to overstress the rear blade while backfilling as load forces on the blade and frame increase while backing up.

If you are performing the construction of soil contours or waterwaysyou willprobably need to set a tilt angle on the blade to achieve the desired effect. If you are grading or cuttinga newditch bankor forming a road crown,youwill probably want to offset the blade in combination with setting an appropriate tilt angle. This again will likely require some experimentation to gain desired results. Snowremovaltechniqueswitha bladewillbevery similar to dirt working techniques and will require a little experimentation to become proficient.

With a little practice you should become a very good operatorandconsistently achievethe desiredresults you expect with your Land Pride RBT40 Series Rear Blade.
