Electrical Hook-up

This section applies only to parallel arm cutters equipped with solenoid controlled cylinders. Skip to “Tractor Console Control Levers” on page 22 if not equipped with this arrangement.

IMPORTANT: Connect power cable leads only to 12 VDC power source. Connection to 24 VDC or larger will damage electrical components.

NOTE: Arm and deck functions will be slow if dual 6 volt batteries are not hooked up correctly. See tractor’s manual for proper 12 volt hook-up when tractor has dual 6 volt batteries.

Refer to Figure 1-13:

1.Find a suitable location to place control stick when not in use.

a.A suitable location for the control stick is usually close to the operator’s right hand side on the tractor fender or fender console. Exact location should be convenient for the operator.

b.When in use, grip the control stick such that the push button switches are easy to access.

2.Route control cable from control stick to solenoid control box on the cutter and connect to mating connector.

3.Route power cable to the tractor battery positive power source or circuit breaker panel. A 10 Amp or larger fuse/circuit breaker source should be used.

a.Connect red lead to positive power source.

b.Connect black lead to negative power source.

Switch Functions

Refer to Figure 1-14:

The following operational checks assumes that the cutter is equipped with solenoid controlled cylinders. Skip to “Tractor Console Control Levers” on page 22 if not set-up for this arrangement.

NOTE: The control stick wiring includes a 10 amp fuse on the red power cable. If overheated, the fuse will open stopping all power to the controls. The fuse must be replaced before power will resume.

NOTE: Make sure hydraulic plumbing is configured correctly for your tractor’s hydraulic flow rate. See “Flow Control Valve Plumbing” on page 16. Consult your tractor’s manual and/or your dealer if unsure of your tractor’s flow rate.

The control stick will have 6 momentary push button switches for pivoting the deck, moving “ARM 1” and moving “ARM 2”. If the deck is equipped with gauge wheels, the control stick will also include an “ON/OFF” Float Switch and an LED light to indicate when the Float Switch is “ON”.

Deck Up/Down Switches

Operate Deck UP/DOWN push button switches to keep deck parallel to the ground. Float Switch and LED light must be “OFF” before the deck switches will function.

1.Press and hold “DECK UP” push button to pivot end of deck up. Release switch to stop movement.

2.Press and hold “DECK DOWN” push button to pivot end of deck down. Release switch to stop movement.

ARM 2 OUT/IN Switches

ARM 2 OUT/IN push button switches extends and retracts the outboard parallel arm. Deck pivot angle remains unchanged while operating these two switches. Float Switch and LED light must be “OFF” before “ARM 2” switches will function.

1.Press and hold “ARM 2 OUT” push button to extend outboard arm. Release switch to stop movement.

2.Press and hold “ARM 2 IN” push button to retract outboard arm. Release switch to stop movement.

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.
