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.

use from this machine.
Application
The RCB6610 & RCBM6610 Series 2 Rotary Cutters are

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.
Standard Clevis Hitch
Figure 1-2
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).
4. See "DANGER" above. Cut and remove rear metal
shipping strap securing the wing deck wheel.
5. Set tractor control lever for the wing cylinder in float.
