Section 1: Assembly & Set-up

Hitch

A 3-Point Category II or Category III hitch is required. The lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

Hydraulic Outlets

The number of tractor hydraulic duplex outlets required is dependent upon if the Rotary Cutter is set-up with solenoid controlled cylinders or tractor controlled cylinders.

Solenoid Controlled

•Two duplex outlets are required if parallel arms and deck cylinders are solenoid controlled with momentary push button switches at the control stick. Breakaway cylinder is controlled by tractor lever.

Tractor Controlled

•Four duplex outlets are required if parallel arms, deck and breakaway cylinders are all controlled by tractor levers.

PTO Speed

The RCP cutters requires 540 rpm Power Take-Off (PTO) speed and the RCPM cutter requires 1000 rpm PTO speed to operate the hydraulic pump & motor. Required tractor horsepower to operate the pump & motor is approximately 30 HP.

Protective Equipment

Refer to Figure 1-1:

The tractor MUST be equipped with protective equipment designed to shield the operator from thrown objects and tractor roll over. An enclosed tractor cab with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may qualify. See tractor’s manual for type of protection your tractor has.

Tractors with only a ROPS must also have a protective shield added to the right hand fender. A universal operator protective shield is available from Land Pride. Refer to page 31 for additional information and installation.

It is also recommended that a protective shield or screen be added to the right hand side of the tractor engine cowling and radiator. This will help protect the tractor’s finish and radiator against thrown objects.

Dealer Preparations

This cutter has been assembled at the factory. However, some preparations will be necessary to attach the cutter to customer’s tractor.

•Make certain the intended tractor conforms to the “Tractor Requirements” on page 12.

•Review and check off Preparation Checklist below before proceeding.

Preparation Checklist

Upper hitch pin is not Included with unit. Determine customer’s tractor hitch type. (Cat II or Cat III). Buy required upper hitch pin locally or order a Land Pride hitch pin if customer’s tractor does not included the pin. See Land Pride’s upper hitch pin part numbers below.

805-079C - Upper Hitch Pin Cat II (1" dia. x 3 3/8" usable)

805-196C - Upper Hitch Pin Cat III (1 1/4" dia. x 3 3/8" usable)

Before operating this unit, 80-90 EP Gear Lube must be added to the gearbox & motor as indicated in the “Maintenance & Lubrication” section for “Speed Increaser” on page 42 of this manual.

35 Gallons of Hydraulic Fluid is needed for the hydraulic reservoir. Use any high quality mineral based hydraulic fluid such as Mobil Fluid 424 with a viscosity rating of 10W-30.

Additional hydraulic fluid (approx 2 gallons) for the tractor reservoir.

Miscellaneous assembly tools: hammer, tape measure, hacksaw, assortment of wrenches and sockets,1/4” drill, drill bits and spirit level.

Quick disconnect adaptors that match tractor’s duplex outlets. Quantity required depends on option selected:

(4)If equipped with solenoid control box.

(8)If not equipped with hose hook-up.

Possible need for forklift or hoist capable of lifting 2500 lbs.

Auxiliary tractor weights (depending on tractor size). See “Tractor Requirements” on page 12.

A minimum of two people available during assembly.

If a pin, bolt or other part has been removed, and you are unsure where it is used, use the Parts Manual to identify it. Be sure the part gets used in the correct location. By double checking while you assemble, you will lessen the chance of using a bolt incorrectly that may be needed later.

Safety decals are legible and undamaged from shipment.

PTO driveline and loose parts bag/box shipped with the cutter are present.

RCP2660, RCPM2660, RCPM3060, RCP3060 specifications

Land Pride has a longstanding reputation for producing high-quality agricultural equipment, and their line of RCP series rotary cutters, including the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, and RCP2660, exemplifies this commitment. Designed for professional landscapers and farmers alike, these rotary cutters are engineered for durability, efficiency, and performance in managing heavy brush and grass.

The RCP3060 is the largest in the series, boasting a 60-inch cutting width. It is equipped with a robust frame and is compatible with a range of tractors, making it an ideal choice for large-scale property maintenance and land management. The cutter employs a heavy-duty, reinforced cutting deck, which ensures longevity and able to withstand tough conditions. It utilizes a superior blade design that delivers clean and consistent cuts, promoting healthier growth of remaining grass and vegetation.

The RCPM3060, a medium-duty model, also features a 60-inch cutting width but is designed for lighter applications compared to the RCP3060. It incorporates similar build quality but is lighter, making it suitable for smaller tractors while still handling brush and grass efficiently. The integrated slip clutch protects the drive line from damage in case of blade contact with a solid object.

Both RCPM2660 and RCP2660 models provide a more compact solution with a 66-inch cutting width. The RCPM2660 is specifically tailored for medium-duty tasks, while the RCP2660 serves heavy-duty needs. Both cutters promote high productivity and versatility, making them suitable not just for agricultural use but also for commercial landscaping applications. The blades are designed for easy replacement, ensuring minimal downtime during operation.

All models in the RCP series integrate advanced technologies such as a quick-attach feature for easy connectivity, and adjustable side skids to control cutting height effectively. The heavy-gauge steel construction provides enhanced durability and helps reduce vibrations during operation. Furthermore, Land Pride's commitment to safety is reflected in the design with features that minimize dust and debris exposure.

In conclusion, whether you choose the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, or RCP2660, you can rely on Land Pride's RCP series rotary cutters to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, designed to withstand the demands of any landscape maintenance task.
