Cycle parallel arm cylinders and deck cylinder with tractor console controls to ensure they operate properly as follows:

Pre-Operational Instructions

Refer to Figure 1-15 & Figure 1-16 on page 20:

1.Read and understand “Transport Safety Chain” on page 20 before continuing.

2.Remove transport safety chain from its latched position and place loose end on the storage hook.

3.Start tractor and adjust 3-point hitch until PTO driveline is approximately level.

Center Detent Control

Refer to Figure 1-18:

4.Operate tractor console control lever designated for “ARM 1” by pushing it forward. The inboard arm should extend outward. If “ARM 1” retracts, reverse hydraulic hoses at the duplex outlet (See Figure 1-11 on page 18).

5.Repeat this procedure for remaining arm and deck cylinders.

NOTE: Cycle all cylinders to full extension and retraction to remove any air that might be trapped in the system.

6.Check hydraulic fluid level in your tractor's reservoir. If low, add fluid to system before proceeding. The cylinders and hoses will require approximately 1 3/4 gallons from the tractor.

Float Positioning Control

Gauge wheels must be installed before setting tractor operator levers to float position. Install gauge wheels per instructions on page 24 titled “Gauge Wheel Model Set- up“.

To make this functional check, “ARM 1” and “ARM 2” must not be fully extended. Cutter deck should be resting on the gauge wheels.

1.Operate all three tractor console control levers and lower deck to ground level.

2.Set only “ARM 2” and “DECK” control levers in float position. Consult tractor manual if operator is unsure of where float position is for the tractor control levers.

3.Retract “ARM 1” control lever. “ARM 2” and “DECK” cylinders should float (change position) allowing deck gauge wheels to remain resting on the ground.

4.Return control levers to center detent position to regain full control of “ARM 2" and “DECK” pivot cylinders.

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.
