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, selfpropelled 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.
▲Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrain require a slower speed.
▲Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
▲Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline:
20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.
10 mph when weight is more than weight of tractor but less than double the weight of tractor.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.
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 the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool completely.
▲Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
▲Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition & installed properly.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation.
Operate Equipment Safely
▲The operator must not use drugs or alcohol as they can change the alertness or coordination of that person while operating the equipment. The operator should, if he is taking over-the-counter drugs, seek medical advice on whether he can safely operate the equipment.
▲Keep bystanders away.
Start tractor with gearshift in park or neutral and park brakes set. Be aware hydraulics are live upon start-up and can move instantly.
▲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 under ground services in the area. Be sure to ask how close you can work to the marks they positioned.
▲Avoid contact with any over head utility lines or electrically charged conductors.

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
Keep Riders
Off Machinery
▲Riders obstruct the operator’s view, they could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲Never allow children to operate equipment.
Wear
Protective Equipment
▲Wear protective clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.
▲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 full attention of the operator. 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.
Handle
Chemicals Properly
▲Protective clothing should be worn.
▲Handle all chemicals with care.
▲Follow instructions on container label.
▲Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil, and property.
▲Inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire is a serious health hazard.
▲Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by the chemical manufacturer.

Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.
This Rotary Tiller 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 RTR12 and RTA12 Series Rotary Tillers are designed and built by Land Pride to till soil for seedbed and planting preparation with uses and applications in landscaping, gardens, and residential areas. They are adapted for 15-50 horsepower tractors with Category I three-point hitch mounting, 540 rpm PTO speed and are Quick-Hitch adaptable.
The reverse rotation tillers (RTR Series) tend to achieve greater depth penetration resulting in moving and pulverizing more soil. Also, they bury more of the residue in the soil.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 28 and
“Features & Benefits” on page 30 for additional information.
