Application
The SC2660 and SC2672 Series Skid Steer Rotary
Cutters are built and designed by Land Pride for cutting
on gently sloping or slightly contoured right-of-ways,
pastures, set aside acres, and row crop fields. These
skid steer mounted cutters provide unparalleled access
to tightly restricted areas such as under fences, in and
around boxed in corner sections of corrals and out
buildings, vineyard and nursery rows, wooded lots, and
approaches to ditches and waterways. The 60" or 72"
cutting width, 8"offset capability to the right, 2" cutting
capacity, 1.5" to 18" cutting height range, and the
universal skid steer floating-hitch mounting plate make
the SC2660 and SC2672 highly versatile and easy to
use. The SC2660 is compatible with and designed for
attachment to skid steers having 1500 psi to 3000 psi
operating pressure and flow rates in the 11-15 gpm,
15-21 gpm, or 18-27 gpm ranges. The SC2672 is
compatible with and designed for attachment to skid
steers having 1500 psi to 3000 psi operating pressure
and flow rates in the 15-21 gpm, or 18-27 gpm ranges.
The SC2660 and SC2672 provide very high and clean
cutting blade tipspeeds but owner/operatorswill need to
select the motor that is appropriately matched to their
skid steers hydraulic flow and pressure capabilities. Our
low volume motor, which is available on the SC2660
only, produces a blade tip speed of 18,540 fpm at
15 gpm. Medium volume and high volume motors are
available for both models. On the SC2660, our medium
volume motor produces 18,850 fpm at 21 gpm, and our
high volume motor produces 19,000 fpm at 27 gpm. On
the SC2672, our medium volume motor produces
17,200 fpm at 21 gpm, and our high volume motor
produces 18,550 fpm at 27 gpm. Each unit is equipped
with two 1/2" x 4"updraft blades and a heavy duty round
pan stump jumper. A deflector chute is located tothe left
rearsideofthecuttertopreventcloggingin heavy cutting
conditions.
The SC2660 and SC2672 come standard with a front
mounted single row chain guard, a rear mounted double
row chain guard, and a safety chain to restrict deck lift
height. Four corner-mounted skid shoes are provided to
reducewear and to keepthecutterfrom bottoming out. A
Lexan protective cab door is available as optional
equipment or owner/operators may choose to use a
protective door provided or made available by their skid
steer supplier/manufacturer.
A pivoting and adjustable front mounted gauge wheel
with a single laminated tire is available to make mowing
even easier by pre-setting the mowing height and
allowing the cutter to float over uneven terrain. Hydraulic
hoses and a case-drain line are provided as standard
equipment but compatible couplersfor attachment tothe
individual skid steersauxiliary hydraulic outletswill need
to be provided by dealers or customers.
The addition of a Land Pride SC2660 or SC2672 Skid
Steer Rotary Cutter to your arsenal of skid steer
attachments will dramatically increasethe versatility and
value of your personal skid steer investment.

Skid Steer Operating Instructions
Assuming you have met all of the above requirements
and taken them seriously, it is time to take the next step
and that is accomplished by dressing appropriately for
thetask.Youwillneedtoputon protective eye wear such
as safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield. A hard hat,
steel toed safety shoes, gloves, and hearing protection
are also highly recommended. Never wear loose fitting
clothing and you may want to put on a respirator or filter
mask to avoid breathing in dust, pollen, or agriculturally
used toxins that may be present.
The next stepis a static or non-running pre-inspection of
the Skid Steer unit. You will want to make sure that the
Skid Steer is equipped with a fully functioning ROPS
(Roll Over Protection System) which does include seat
belts and an operator safety enclosure. The cab must
alsobe equipped withanoperator protective door, which
may have been supplied with the Skid Steer unit. Land
Pride does offer a protective door with the SC2660 and
SC2672if one is notalreadyprovided.If the Skid Steeris
to be operated on local roadways, it must be equipped
with appropriate Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) and other
required lighting packages so as to make it compliant
with state and local department of transportation
requirements.Thecutterdrivemotor must be matched to
the output of the hydraulic capacity of the Skid Steer.
Failure to do thiscould result inserious over-speeding of
the cutting unit possibly resulting in serious injury,
fatalities or property damage. The universal quick-hitch
mount should be in good working order and latches
should be located to the open position. There should be
no evidence of hydraulic leaks in and around the
auxiliary hydraulic couplers. There must be a readily
accessible attaching point for the Rotary Cutter lift-limit
chain on the lower front portion of the chassis frame.
Finally make surethat all shields and safety features are
in place and fully functional.
The next step is to perform a running check of the Skid
Steer unit. As you get onto the Skid Steer and into the
operator’ compartment always use factory provided
hand-holds and don’t grab the steering or control levers
toeaseorstabilizeyourentry.Fasten your seat belt once
you are seatedand begin tomentally orient yourself with
the position of all controls, switches, pedals, levers, and
their related functions. Once you are sure that the park
brake is on, no people or animals are in close proximity,
all control levers, pedals and hydraulic systems are in
neutral position, go ahead and startthe engine. With the
enginenowrunningandthethrottleat approximately one
third, test all controls to make sure they are fully
functioning. If at any time there is an equipment failure,
shut the unit down and make immediate and full repairs.
Rotary Cutter Operating Instructions
Assuming all systems with the Skid Steer are “go” and
fully functioning, it is time to connect to the SC2660 or
SC2672 Rotary Cutter. This is done by maneuveringthe
Skid Steer mounting plate into position under the
universal quick mount hitch saddle. Once this is
accomplished and the mower is fully supported by the
Skid Steer lift arms, lower the mower to a point
approximately two inches above the ground. Turn the
engineoff,setthe parking brake, and climb out of theSkid
Steer. Lock the latch handles down to engage the hitch
pins. Make the appropriate hydraulic connections to the
auxiliary hydraulic outlet and case drain making sure to
keep connectors clean. Be sureto use proper fittings and
if connection is difficult, moving levers may help relieve
line pressure. (Note! Hydraulic flow direction on all skid
steers is not the same. Make sure hoses are connected
properly or blades will rotate at a much slower speed.)
Wipe away spilled or excess hydraulic oil and secure
Cordura sleeves to contain potential leaks. Connect the
height limiting safety chain to the chassis attaching point
and restrict cutting height to no more that eighteen
inches. This completes theattachment of thecutter to the
Skid Steer.
The next step is to complete a pre-operation check of the
cutter. Make sure all guards, safety shields, safety
chains, and deflectors are in place. All hardware must be
in place and appropriately tightened. Damaged, severely
worn or defective parts must be replaced prior to
operation. If your unit is equipped with the optional front
mounted gauge wheel, you will want to adjust it for
desired cutting height at this time.
You should always inspect the area where you intend to
cutfor debris and hazardslocated on the ground.Noone,
including people and animals, should be allowed within
100 yards of this cutter when in operation. If someone
does approach, shut the cutter down immediately. The
blades on this cutter should never be allowed to come in
contact with objects such as wire, cable, rope, or chains
that might become entangled. These types of entangled
objects can become extremely hazardous by rotating
outside of the cutter deck housing resulting in serious
injury or death. Always inspect the area before you mow.
The best mowing results will be achieved at speeds
between 2 mph and 5 mph as grounds and mowing
conditions dictate. If you are mowing in particularly tall or
dense brush, you may want to make two passes with the
first pass being at 18" and the second pass made as a
cross-cut at the desired cut height. If you are mowing
without the benefit of the front mounted gauge wheel in
the float position, you will probably need to slow down
significantly especially over uneven terrain or furrows.
Driving too fast over uneven ground will cause the unit to
undulate in a forward pitching motion. The best advice is
to drive slow but keep engine speed and blade tip speed
high. Once you get the feel of it you can increase speed
and productivity.
When you do need to stop, make sure you set the park
brake, shut the Skid Steer engine off, and allow time for
the blades to stop rotating before you climb down. With a
little practice we are confident you will soon achieve safe
andexcellentresultswithyournewLandPride SC2660 or
SC2672 Skid Steer Rotary Cutter.

Cutter Blade Maintenance
!
Always disconnect hydraulic hoses fromthe Skid Steer before
servicing underside of deck.The motor can be engagedif Skid
Steer is started resulting in possible damage to the cutter,
bodily injury and/or death.
Always secure the cutter deck in the up position with solid
supports before servicing the underside. Never work under
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop
equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst.
Either situation can dropthe cutter instantly even when power
to the hydraulics is shut off.
Always inspect cutting blades before each use. Make
certain they are properly installed and are in good
working condition. Replace any blade that is damaged,
worn, bent, or excessively nicked. Small nicks can be

Hydraulic Maintenance
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under 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, it must be treated by a
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your Skid
Steer reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your Skid Steer. Replace the filter element for
your Skid Steer’s hydraulic system at the prescribed
intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way
to prevent occurrence of hydraulic problems.
Storage
!
Store cutter with hitch plate in the upright position. A hitch
plate that is stored folded down against the deck can tip up
easily resulting in serious injury to the body.
Do not modify the Rotary Cutter without authorization from
Land Pride. Unauthorized modifications to the cutter can
result in the cutter not performing properly and/or in serious
injury or death.
