Flow Control Valve Plumbing

An auxiliary flow control valve is included with the cutter when cylinders are solenoid controlled. The flow control valve diverts excess oil back to the tractor keeping oil cooler and back pressure down.

IMPORTANT: Damage to o-rings in the solenoid valve and/or in the cylinders may occur if oil becomes overheated.

Plumbing of pressure and return hoses must be checked to verify if correct for tractor rated GPMs. Reconfigure plumbing if needed as follows:

Tractors Rated at 15 GPM and Under

Refer to Figure 1-7:

1.Pressure line #1 is plumbed from the solenoid valve block to the flow control valve.

2.Return line #1 is plumbed from the solenoid valve block to a tee at the flow control valve.

3.Pressure line #2 is plumbed to the bottom of the flow control valve and the opposite end is fitted with a quick disconnect coupler.

4.Return line #2 is plumbed to the tee at the flow control valve and the opposite end is fitted with a quick disconnect coupler.

Tractors Rated at 16 GPM and Above

Refer to Figure 1-8:

1.Return line #1 is plumbed to the solenoid valve block and the opposite end is fitted with a quick disconnect coupler.

2.Pressure line #1 is plumbed from the solenoid valve block to the flow control valve.

3.Pressure line #2 is plumbed to the bottom of the flow control valve and the opposite end is fitted with a quick disconnect coupler.

4.Return line #2 is plumbed to the tee at the flow control valve and the opposite end is plumbed to either the tractor sump or motor return line. Fittings to plumb to tractor sump or motor return line are customer supplied.

5.The unused port on the tee must be plugged.

Fill Hydraulic Reservoir

The Rotary Cutter is shipped without fluid in the hydraulic reservoir.

1.Park cutter on a level surface, set brake, turn off ignition switch and remove switch key.

2.Add 35 gallons of Mobil 424 to the hydraulic reservoir. Use care to ensure that dust or other foreign particles do not contaminate the fluid.

NOTE: Any high quality mineral based hydraulic fluid such as Mobil fluid 424 with a viscosity rating of 10W-30 is acceptable.

3.Remove filler cap and dipstick from reservoir and wipe clean. Fully insert filler cap with dipstick and remove. Check oil level on dipstick.

4.Fill with recommended oil to full mark if low.

5. Replace filler cap and dipstick.

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.
