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.

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 parking 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.

▲ 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.

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

Wear Protective Equipment

▲ Wear protective clothing and

equipment appropriate for the job. Clothing should be snug fitting 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.

Tire Safety

▲ Tire changing can be dangerous

and should be preformed 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.

Use Seat Belt and ROPS

▲ Operate only tractors equipped

with Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt.

▲ Fasten seat belt snugly and

securely to help protect against serious injury or death from falling and tractor overturn.

▲ Wearing protective equipment

such as safety shoes, safety glasses, hard hat, and ear plugs is highly recommended.

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.

Hydraulic Outlets

Two duplex outlets are required. One to raise and lower the cutter, and one to fold the wing. Float position is highly recommended for the wing.

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 39 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 62 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 or fastener if removed during assembly. 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.

LP Performance Hitch

Figure 1-3

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.

Ball Hitch (Optional)

Refer to Figure 1-5:

Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to swivel movement over the 2 5/16" tractor mounted ball.

Pintle Hitch (Optional)

Refer to Figure 1-6:

A leveling rod attached to the underside of the pintle hitch keeps the pintle parallel with the tractor drawbar at all cutting heights. Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to movement about the pintle connection. The pintle hitch is ideal for a drawbar hammer strap.

Hydraulic Plumbing

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.

Refer to Figure 1-12:

Located on the hand grips are symbols indicating if the cylinder will extend or retract when hydraulic pressure is applied to that hose. Make sure hand grips are on the correct hoses. Use hand grip colors and symbols to aid in hook-up.

Hydraulic Hose Hand Grips

Unfolding Wing Deck

Metal shipping bands are under tension. Always wear eye protection when cutting bands. Keep head, body, and body extremities away from areas a band will recoil into when cut.

Keep everyone out of the area wher e the wing deck will unfold into. A wing that falls suddenly on a person will cause serious bodily injury or death.

The wing deck is shipped leaning in towards the center deck. A person will need to manually push the wing deck out pass vertical position before it will lower under its own weight. Before pushing on the wing deck:

• Make certain no one is in the area where the deck will

lower down into as it is unfolded.

• Make certain your footing is secure and you are clear of

any possible pinch points.

• Make certain you are standing on the center deck behind

and away from hydraulic hoses, hydraulic cylinders, gearboxes, and drivelines so that you do not become entangled in them as they move while the decks are unfolding.

Refer to Figure 1-14 on page 19:

Refer to Figure 1-14 to verify wing folding cylinder is plumbed correctly. Make sure couplings (#4) with red hand grips (#5 & #6) are attached to the right wing folding cylinder. It is best if the wing folding cylinder (#1) is connected to a duplex outlet with float option to allow the wing to float with the contour of the ground while cutting.

Refer to Figure 1-15 on page 19:

The cutting/transporting height is controlled by two rephasing lift cylinders (#1 & #2) which are plumbed together to operate in unison. The decks will not lift properly if rephasing cylinders are plumbed incorrectly. See Figure 1-15 to verify plumbing. Make sure couplings (#5) with black hand grips (#9 & #10) are attached to lift cylinders (#1 & #2).

Hydraulic Hook-up

Refer to Refer to Figure 1-9 on page 16:

1. Route right wing cylinder hoses (#10) with red hand

grips through hose support loop (#13) and connect to a tractor duplex outlet with float option if available.

2. Route lift cylinder hoses (#11) with black hand grips

through hose support loop (#13) and connect to a tractor duplex outlet.

Remove Shipping Bar

Figure 1-13

Refer to Figure 1-13:

1. Make sure cutter is parked on a level surface.

2. Place gear selector in park or set park brake, fully retract wing hydraulic cylinder, shut tractor off, and remove switch key before dismounting tractor.

3. Remove hex nylock nuts (#6 & #7), bolts (#4 & #5), shipping strap (#1), and shipping tubes (#2 & #3). Discard removed hardware (#1 thru #7).

Driveline Installation

Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the driveline resulting in serious injury or death.

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not use PTO adapters. A PTO adapter will increase strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the tractor’s master shield.

• Always disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor engine off, r emove switch key , and wait for blades to stop before dismounting from tractor.

• Make certain all driveline yokes are securely fastened at both ends. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to rotate uncontrollably causing machine damage and bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.

• Do not operate cutter above its rated PTO speed or machine breakage may result.

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.

Be sure center and wing decks are lowered to the ground and all hydraulic pressure is relieved before disconnecting any hydraulic lines or fittings between the Rotary Cutter and tractor 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 14. 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 thru 3 until deck left cylinders operate smoothly.

Do not raise wing up past 45 degrees with PTO engaged and drivelines rotating. Objects can be thr own by rotating blades. Always keep people away from a cutter that is operating.

Do not operate cutter with a bent or broken driveline. Such a driveline can break apart while rotating at high speeds causing serious injury or death. Always remove Rotary Cutter from service until damaged driveline is repaired or replaced.

Keep others away from the cutter while it is operating. Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds causing serious injury or death. The use of front & rear safety guards is strongly recommended and should always be used when cutting along highways and in areas where bystanders are present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are nearby.

Do not operate cutter without wing and weight box attached to the center deck. Removing the wing or weight box will expose blades and increase risk of cutter overturning. Exposed blades can result in serious injury and/or death.

Safety Information

Operate only tractors equipped with Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Fasten seat belt snugly and securely to help pr otect operator from being thrown, crushed, or severely injur ed in a rollover or from falling off the tractor and being ran over by the tractor and/or cutter.

Never allow riders including children on the tractor or cutter. They can fall and be ran over, become entangled in rotating components, and/or pinched by moving components causing serious injury or death.

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before servicing underside of cutter . PT O can be engaged if tractor is started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

IMPORTANT: Avoid catching hydraulic hoses on

brush, posts, stumps, and other protrusions that could damage and/or break them.

IMPORTANT: Maintain correct PTO speed. Loss of PTO speed will allow blades to swing back and result in ragged, uneven cutting. Excessive speed will cause damage to the power train components.

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.

IMPORTANT: This Rotary Cutter is equipped with free swinging cutting blades to reduce shock loads. However, it is best to avoid striking obstacles for your safety and to protect the cutter from damage.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Section 3: Operating Instructions

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Tractor PTO shield and gearbox shaft shields must be secured in place when operating cutter to avoid injury or death from entanglement in driveline.

• Do not use cutting blades as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly designed or guarded for this use. Using cutter as a fan can result in injury and/or death.

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove switch key, and wait for blades to stop before dismounting from tractor.

• Wait for blades to come to a complete stop befor e accessing blade bolts through blade bolt access hole.

• Do not operate cutter with loose pins, bolts, or nuts. Loose hardwar e can result in a serious breakdown causing bodily injury or death.

• Do not operate cutter with a hitch or hitch pin that is excessively worn, has structural cracks, is bent, or is broken. The hitch and/or hitch pin can break apart separating cutter from tractor causing serious injury or death.

To avoid serious injury:

• Do not exceed the rated cutting capacity. See Specifications & Capacities for specified cutting capacity. Using this cutter for any other type of work can damage drive components, cutter blades and deck components.

• Buildup of debris around moving parts is a fire hazard. Keep drivelines & other rotating parts free fr om debris to avoid serious injury and property damage.

• Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire hazard. Maintain pr oper gearbox oil level to avoid s erious injury and property damage.

• Do not over speed PTO or machine damage may result. Many tractors provide both 540 and 1,000 rpm PTO speeds. Check your tractor’s manual to determine its capabilities.

• RC series cutters are designed for 540 rpm rear PTO.

• RCM series cutters are designed for 1000 rpm rear PTO.

Avoid Extreme Turning Angles

Refer to Figure 3-1 & Figure 3-2:

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. If the turn cannot be avoided, disengage tractor PTO and wait for the driveline to stop rotating before making the turn.

• Standard Conventional Driveline:

Maximum turning angle = 35

• Constant Velocity Driveline:

Maximum turning angle = 80

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

When cutting road sides, Land pride recommends the Rotary Cutter be equipped with double row chain guards to stop flying objects and Land Pride’s LED Light Kit to make operator and equipment more visible.

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 detents 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 PTO 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 PTO speed will allow the blades to hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.

6. Periodically, shut tractor down properly and dismount to do an inspection. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 14 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 62.

Disengage Blades

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

2. Disengage PTO.

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.

Engage Blades

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 PTO. Use tractor’s PTO soft start option if available.

3. Ensure all power shafts are rotating and cutter is not vibrating excessively after ramping up to full PTO speed for at least 3 seconds. If excessive vibration continues after 3 seconds at full PTO speed, disengage PTO 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 31 for detailed instructions.

5. Periodically, shut tractor down properly and dismount to do an inspection. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 14 for proper shut down procedure.

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 PTO 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 PTO 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 PTO shaft. If everything is running smoothly at this point, increase engine RPM until the tractors engine reaches full PTO 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 PTO, 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 mower 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 PTO 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 PTO, raise engine rpm to the appropriate PTO

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 PTO.

• 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

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety guards is strongly r e commended when cutting. Specifically, double row chain guards should be used along highways and in areas where people may be present.

Safety shields will not stop all objects. Therefore, Land Pride recommends using extreme caution when cutting in public areas. Stop blade rotation if bystanders come within several hundred feet.

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.

Perform maintenance only on a cutter that is not running. Disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove switch key, and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor to perform maintenance.

Skid Shoes & Side Skirt

Excessive wear on skid shoes may cause inadequate operation of cutter and create a safety hazard.

Two skid shoes are mounted on the center section and one skid shoe mounted on the wing section. Check all skid shoes for wear and replace if necessary. Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride dealer.

Center Skid Shoes

Refer to Figure 5-1 on page 41:

1. Remove 5/8" hex whiz nuts (#4), 5/8" hex bolts (#3)

and skid shoes (#1) from center deck (#2).

2. Attach new skid shoes (#1) to cutter with existing

5/8" hex bolts (#3) and secure with 5/8" hex whiz nuts (#4). Tighten whiz nuts to the correct torque.

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Frequently check all hardware to make certain it is tight and not broken or missing. Such hardware can cause the cutter to not perform properly and may lead to breakage that can cause bodily injury or death.

• Do not operate cutter with loose pins, bolts, or nuts. Loose hardware can result in a serious breakdown causing bodily injury or death.

To avoid serious injury:

• Do not alter Land Pride equipment or replace parts with other brands. Doing so can cause equipment to perform improperly and may lead to breakage that can cause bodily injury. Replace parts only with genuine Land Pride parts.

• Maintain proper gearbox oil level. Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire hazard.

Tractor Maintenance

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

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before servicing underside of cutter . PT O can be engaged if tractor is started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.

Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing underside of cutter. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when power to the hydraulics is shut off.

Do not operate cutter with blades that are bent, out-ofbalance, excessively worn, excessively nicked, or with blade bolts that are excessively worn. Such blades can break loose from the cutter at high speeds causing serious injury or death.

2. Disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing underside of cutter.

Wait for blades to come to a complete stop before accessing blade bolts through blade bolt access hole.

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 a new Land Pride blade to assure safety.

ALWAYS wear gloves and eye protection while inspecting, removing, sharpening, and replacing cutter blades.

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 5-6 on page 42 when ordering Land Pride replacement blade components.

Remove cutting blades and sharpen or replace as follows:

1. Place tractor gear selector in park or set brake, shut engine off and remove ignition key.

Standard Blade Rotation

Figure 5-7

5. 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.

Special Reverse Blade Rotation

Figure 5-8

Refer to Figure 5-7 & Figure 5-8:

6. 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.

Refer to Figure 5-6 on page 42:

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

8. 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.

9. Replace rubber plug (#5).

10. Reconnect main driveline to tractor PTO shaft and remove support blocks.

WARNING

CAUTION

IMPORTANT: Prior to initial operation and after long

periods 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!

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

Drivelines With Slip Clutches

Always disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove switch key, and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting from tractor to work on or around revolving components.

Slip clutches that have been in use or have been slipped for only two or three seconds during run-in may be too hot to touch. Allow a hot clutch to cool before working on it.

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.

Clutch Types

Figure 5-9

Refer to Figure 5-9:

Determine which friction clutch your cutter has. Follow “run-in” instructions for your specific clutch type. Refer to this page for “Type A Clutches” and page 46 for

“Type B Clutches”.

Type A Clutches

Clutch Run-In

Refer to Figure 5-10:

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.

Type A Clutch Run-In

Figure 5-10

4. Start tractor and engage PTO drive for 2-3 seconds to permit slippage of the clutch surfaces. Disengage PTO, then re-engage a second time for 2-3 seconds. Disengage PTO, 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 45 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 5-12 on page 45 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 5-12:

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

4. Start tractor and engage PTO drive at idle for 2-3 seconds to permit slippage of friction plates. Disengage PTO, 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.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

Tire Maintenance

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 their 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 overinflate tires.

Do not weld on or heat a rim. If a tire is mounted to the rim, air pressure inside the tire can increase enough to cause an explosion. High heat can also weaken and/or warp the rim, damage the tire, and destroy foam filling inside a tire.

Air Filled Airplane Tires with split Rims

Figure 5-15

1. Check tires for low air pressure, missing nuts, missing lug bolts, wear, separated rubber, and bent, broken, or cracked wheel rims.

2. Inflate air filled tires to the proper pressure. Refer to “Tire Inflation Chart” on page 62.

Refer to Figure 5-15:

3. Replace wheel rims and tires as needed with genuine Land Pride parts. Do not loosen split rim hardware (#1) until all air pressure in the tire has been removed.

Long Term Storage

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

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before servicing underside of cutter . PT O can be engaged if tractor is started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.

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 42.

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 color with black highlights. Equipment in special colors may be purchased in Green, Red, and Orange. Because of the variety of colors available, special attention must be given to the part number to prevent ordering the wrong replacement part. A suffix number corresponding to one of the colors below must be added at the end of Land Pride’s part number when ordering a replacement part with that color. Parts ordered without a suffix number will be supplied in factory standard colors.

For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with part number 555-555C and the existing part is red, then add the suffix 83 to the end of the number to make the part number read 555-555C83.

5. Replace all damaged or missing guarding and decals.

6. Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting on Page 49.

7. Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for a longer cutter life.

8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 25 when disconnecting tractor from cutter.

RCB6615 & RCBM6615 Series 2

Features Benefits

Surpassed rugged industry standards

Factory assembled Saves customer set-up time and money. Adjustments should always be made by dealer. 7 Year gearbox warranty Shows confidence in gearbox integrity. (Years 6 & 7, parts only.) Rugged heavy built gearboxes Gearboxes are capable of handling heavy cutting applications. Gearbox Seal Protection Gearbox bottom seal protection for longer bearing life. 2 3/8" Output gearbox shaft Large output shaft handles shock loads better. 2 Piece shield on wing gearboxes Driveline grease zerks are easier to access. Self-leveling hitches Reduces drawbar wear by keeping hitch level while going through ditches. Narrow A-frame hitch Allows for a tighter turning radius. Adjustable park jack angle Park jack can be adjusted to be perpendicular to the ground.

Adjustable driveline hanger

Input driveline: Cat. 6 CV or Cat. 5 Conventional

Grease zerks on end caps of driveline cross journals

4 Plate slip-clutch

High blade tip speed Allows clean cutting of material and even distribution. See Specifications for actual FPM. 6" Blade overlap Eliminates skipping during turns. High cutting capacity Can cut brushy areas with saplings up to 4 1/2". Pre-cut chamber Allows grass and vegetation to stand back up prior to cutting for a more complete cut. Reinforced leading edge Front of deck can withstand heavy brush and saplings. 12" Deck height Handles heavy cutting, which reduces balling-up of cut material under the deck. 10 gauge smooth deck top Reduces accumulation of debris and is easier and faster to clean. 7 Gauge smooth deck bottom Heavy deck design holds up to harsh conditions. No bottom obstructions. Replaceable 1/4" side skirt Reduces debris piercing possibilities. Can be replaced if damaged. 3/16" Round stump jumper backed

with a 1" thick mounting plate

Spindle Nut Protected

Beveled skid shoes on wings Reduces gouging the ground when turning.

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.

Replaceable wheel spindles

Slow moving vehicle sign (SMV) Required for transporting on roadways and mowing along side roads. Rear axle pull rings Aids in getting unit out of soft ground conditions.

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 PTO 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.

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.

Wheel spindles can be replaced when damaged without replacing the entire axle. Simply remove one bolt to replace damaged spindle.

Rephasing wing cylinder Allows the cutter to be leveled using wing cylinder verse mechanical turnbuckles. Dual-acting wing cylinder Allows wing to be folded inward beyond 90o for a narrow 7'-5 1/4" transport width. Wheel options Laminated tires: Eliminates flats.

Air-filled tires: Give better cushion while transporting. Foam-filled tires: Give better cushion while transporting and can’t go flat.

LP Performance hitch option

Bar-tite hitch option Ideal for extreme conditions. Clamps tight to drawbar eliminating drawbar wear.

Roadway light kit option

Walking tandem axle option Allows for a smoother pull in undulating terrain. Deck rings (optional) 1/2" x 3" full welded deck ring keeps blades from damaging the deck. Mechanical Winch (optional) Aids in folding the cutter in the event of hydraulic failure. Reverse Gearbox Rotation on Center

& Wing Deck (optional)

Great for uneven terrain, reduces drawbar wear. Hitch pivots freely up and down and pivots about the tractor drawbar.

Allows operator to transport on public roads safer when head lights are turned on and/or when flasher lights are turned on.

Throws debris away from the road when cutting along side a road.
