Up to 400 lbs of weight may be applied by installing
bricks or blocks in frame for additional weight if required
by ground conditions.

General Operating Instructions

!

DANGER!

Operator to wear Seat Belt at all times while operating
implement.

!

WARNING!

Speeds in excess of 5 MPH can damage frame & or shanks

IMPORTANT: Do Not turn tractor with pulverizer
shanks in the ground. Damage to shanks will occur.

Before putting your Land Pride Pulverizer into service
you must thoroughly review the Operator’s Manual. Once
you have read the Operator’s Manual and properly
mounted the pulverizer on your tractor, you should be
ready to head for the work site. You should have already
removed any sizeable sticks, rocks, or extraneous debris
from this area. Do not attempt to rip up concrete, black
top, asphalt, or large rocks.

With tractor stopped, lower 3-point of tractor down until
all weight is off the tractor. Pull ahead slowly to get the
shanks to start digging. Scarifying and pulverizing action
will commence as soon as the rear roller touches the
ground and begins to roll. Increase ground speed once
shanks and roller have entered the ground. Do not
exceed 5 MPH and make straight passes only. When you
reach the end of a pass, raise tractor’s 3-point up before
turning. Trying to turn with unit in the ground will damage
the scarifier shanks and can damage the pulverizer
roller.

If ground conditions are extremely hard and the scarifier
shanks are not achieving adequate penetration, you may
need to add additional weight to the top frame.
Up to 400 lbs can be added to this area.

If the pulverizing roller is bouncing and not staying in
uniform contact with the ground, the down pressure of
the roller can be adjusted by the spring tensioners
located at both ends of the pulverizer.

If you are getting a build-up on the rear roller, pulverizing
operations should be discontinued until the ground is dry
enough to work. If the ground needs more cultivation
than can be accomplished in one pass, continue to make
additional passes until the desired finish is achieved.
Owners of the Model 30 Series Land Pride Pulverizers
can attach an additional optional rear mounted pulverizer
roller to achieve a more professional finish in less time.

Once you are finished using your pulverizer, park it on a
dry and level surface, clean it, and make it ready for the
next use. With a little practice you will be able to achieve
professional results from your Land Pride Pulverizer.
