PTO Hookup
If the cutter is to be used on more than one tractor, an
additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a
quick hitch is used.
!
CAUTION
Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter
will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can
damage the PTO shaft and mower driveline.
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline
breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not
exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while
operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-4 below.
13800
Maximum PTO driveline Movement During Operation
Figure 1-4
IMPORTANT: Donot attempt to operate a 540 RPM
driveline at 1,000 RPM or a 1,000 RPM driveline at
540RPM. Many tractors provide both540 and 1,000
RPM PTO speeds. Check your tractor’s manual to
determine its capabilities.
3. The driveline will require shortening if it is too long to
fit between the tractor and cutter. Shorten driveline
as follows:
a. Raise 3-point lower arms until cutter and tractor
PTO shafts are approximately level with each
other. Securely block cutter frame in this position.
Set tractor in park, shut tractor engine off, set park
brake and remove switch key.
b. Pull driveline apart into two sections as shown in
Figure 1-5. Attach the outer driveline universal
joint to the tractor PTO shaft and inner driveline
universal joint to the cutter gearbox shaft. Pull on
each driveline section to be sure the universal
joints are secured to the shafts.
c. Hold the driveline sections parallel to each other
to determine if they are too long. The inner and
outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching the universal
joint shield on the adjacent section (see “B”
dimension). If they are too long, measure 1" (“B”
dimension) back from the universal joint shield
and make a mark at this location on the inner and
outer driveline shields.
d. Cut off the inner shield at the mark (“X”
dimension). Cut the same amount off the inner
shaft (“X1” dimension). Repeat cut off procedure
(“Y”&“Y1”dimensions) to the outer drivelinehalf.
e. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
f. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the
outer shaft and reassemble the dr iveline.
g. Attach inner driveline yoke end to the cutter
gearbox input shaft.
h. Attach outer driveline yoke end to the tractor's
PTO shaft.
IMPORTANT: The PTO driveline maybe too long for
some tractors. If the cutter is used on more than one
tractor,an additional PTO dr iveline may be required.
IMPORTANT: Aligning the tractor’s PTO shaft level
with the cutter’s PTO shaft is necessary when
checking to see if the driveline will fit correctly
between tractor and cutter.
Refer to Figure 1-5
1. Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic
3-pointtoliftthelowerarmsuntil the cutter’sdriveline
shaft is approximately level with tractor's PTO shaft.
2. Slide outer yoke end of driveline over the tractor's
PTOshaft and secure with the locking collar. Skip to
step 4 if driveline fits between tractor and cutter.

Vent Plug Installation
Refer to Figure 1-1:
IMPORTANT: Series RCR15Grooming Mowers are
shipped with a red plug in the gear box to prevent
loss of oil during shipping and handling. This plug
must be replaced with a vent plug before operating
the cutter.
A vent plug for the gearbox is included in a bag with the
manual. See your nearest Land Pride Dealer if vent plug
is missing. Remove temporary red plug from top of

Transporting
!
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use
accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators
of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage the tractor’s PTO
before raising the cutter to transport position.
8. When raising the cutter to the transport position be
sure that driveline does not contact tractor or cutter.
9. 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.
10. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with
a farm tractor of sufficient size and horsepower.
Whentravelingonroadways,transport in such away
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
11. Whentravelingoverrough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.
Operating Check List
In addition to design and configuration of equipment,
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper
training involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment. Before
beginning to cut, the following inspection should be
performed.
Operating Checklist
Check Reference
“Important Safety Information” in
this Manual.
Section 1
page 1
Land Pride
!
DANGER
To prevent personal injury caused by thrown objects, the use of
front & rear safety guards is strongly recommended! To avoid
injury or death from entanglement in rotating drivelines, the
drive gearbox shields must be in place and secure when
operating.
!
CAUTION
0Damage may occur if exceeding the rated cutting capacity of
the cutter!
!
CAUTION
Do not over speed PTO or machine damage may result. This
cutter is designed to be used with the tractors having a 540
RPM rear PTO. Know what your tractor requirements are.
Cutting Instructions
1. Your cutter is equipped with free swinging cutting
blades to reduce shock loads to the cutter if str iking
obstacles.
2. Start the machine slowly; do not use full throttle.
Allow 10 seconds for cutter blades to become
aligned properly before going to full power.
3. The ground speed depends on two things: the
density of the material being cut, and the size of the
tractor.Never run fast enough to overload the tractor.
4. It is impor tant to maintain correct RPM PTO speed.
Loss of PTO speed will allow the blades to hinge
back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.
5. This cutter was designed to cut grass and br ush 1”
maximumdiameterinright-of-ways,pasturesandfor
shredding row crop residues.
Check oil level in gearboxes.
Check that all plugs in gearbox
have been replaced properly.
Be sure nuts and bolts are tight.
Be certain all guards and shields
are in place.
Lubricate the cutter as needed.
Refer to “Maintenance and
Lubrication”.

Leveling Procedure
There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made
prior to actual field operations:
i. Deck level from left to right
j. Tractor top link length
k. Tractor lower link height
l. Tailwheel height
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance and
longer blade life. The following tools will be needed:
a. Pliable tape measure
b. Spirit or carpenters level
c. Open end or hex end wrench or socket set
d. Protective gloves
Having completed, the " Tractor Hookup", locate the
tractor on a flat, level surface.
1. Usethetractor’shydraulic3-pointcontroltolowerthe
cutter until the tailwheel contacts ground surface.
2. Place a levelor other suitable levelingdevice on the
frontofthecutterdeckasshowninFigure3-1.Adjust
either one or both of the tractors lower link height
adjustments to levelthedeck from left to right. Some
tractors have only a single adjusting crank.
3. Similarly, place a level on either of the main deck.
Use the tractors 3-point hydrauliccontrol to level the
cutter deck from front to rear.

Table of Contents
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment can increase the life of
any implement. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.
After using your cutter for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
Service Cutting Blades
2. 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.
NOTE: Care should be taken in order not to remove
any more material than necessary when sharpening
blades.
3. Both blades should weigh the same after
sharpening.
4. When replacing or shar pening the cutter blades,
examine bolts for excessive wear and replace if
necessary. To replace blades:
h. Order blade bolt Land Pride part # 802-277C.
i. Torque blade bolt lock nut to 450 ft. pounds. An
extendedcheater bar may be required to achieve
proper torque.
Clutch Run-In
Friction clutches should be “run-in” prior to initial
operation and after long periods of inactivity. To prevent
driveline and gearbox damage, repeat “Run-In”
instructions at the beginning of each season and when
moisture and/or condensation seizes the inner friction
plates.
Refer to Figure 4-1:
1. Using a pencil or other markerscribe a line across the
exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction disks.
2. Carefullyloosen each of the 8 spr ing retainernuts by
exactly 2 revolutions.It will be necessary to hold the
hexendoftheretainerboltin order to count the exact
number of revolutions.
3. Start the tractor and engage the driveline dr ive for
2-3 seconds to per mit slippage of the clutch
surfaces.Disengage the driveline,then re-engage a
second time for 2-3 seconds. Disengage driveline,
shut off tractor and remove key. Wait for all
components to stop before dismounting from tractor.
13693
IMPORTANT: Replace blades with genuine Land
Pride blades only. Blades must be ordered and
replaced in pairs.
If replacing dishpan, nut on gearbox output shaft should
be torqued to 450 foot/pounds and cotter pin installed in
nut with legs securely bent around nut.
Driveline Protection
!
CAUTION
Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor, and
remove key before making any of the following adjustments.
Cutter drive components are protected from shock loads
by either a two plate friction clutch or a shear bolt. Avoid
shear bolt failure by engaging the PTO slowly at low
engine r pm. See yourLand Pr ide Dealer when replacing
shear bolts.

4. Inspect the clutch and ensure that the scribed
markings made on the clutch plates have changed
position. Slippage has not occurred if any two marks
onthefriction disk and platearestill aligned. A clutch
that has not slipped must be disassembled to
separate the friction disk plates. See Clutch
Disassembly to disassemble clutch.
5. Tighten each of the 8 spring retainer nuts on the
clutch housing exactly 2 revolutions to restore the
clutch to the original setting pressure.
6. The clutch should be checkedduring the first hour of
