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 Pre-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.

Hydraulic Outlets

The number of tractor hydraulic duplex outlets is dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up.

•Two duplex outlets are required if the wings are raised and lowered simultaneously.

•Three duplex outlets are required if the wings are raised and lowered independently.

Control valve kits are available from your local Land Pride dealer if the tractor is not equipped with the correct number of duplex outlets. See “Hydraulic Accessories” on page 23 for available hydraulic kits.
