Deck Level Adjustments

Deck level adjustments should be made on a level surface large enough to be level under the tractor and deck with parallel arms fully extended.

Cutter Without Gauge Wheels

Refer to Figure 2-3:

1.Raise tractor 3-Point hitch until PTO driveline is approximately level.

2.Adjust arm cylinders so that the parallel arms are approximately 3/4 extended and deck cylinder so that the deck is 3 to 4 inches off the ground.

3.Continue adjusting deck cylinder until deck is level from left to right.

4.Extend “ARM 1” cylinder until skid shoes are 2 to 3 inches off the ground.

5.Place a level on the cutter deck to read forward/aft attitude.

6.Adjust center 3-Point top-link so that the front of the cutter deck is slightly lower than the rear by approximately 1/2".

Cutter With Gauge Wheels

Refer to Figure 1-20 on page 24 & Figure 2-3:

1.Make certain tractor control levers are set to center detent position and if available, Float Switch on the control stick is turned “OFF”.

2.Raise tractor 3-Point hitch until PTO driveline is approximately level.

3.Adjust arm cylinders so that the parallel arms are approximately 3/4 extended and deck cylinder so that the gauge wheels are 3 to 4 inches off the ground.

4.Continue adjusting deck cylinder until deck is level from left to right.

5.Extend “ARM 1" cylinder until gauge wheels are 1 to 2 inches off the ground.

6.Place a level on the cutter deck to read forward/aft attitude.

IMPORTANT: Gauge wheels should not touch ground while adjusting the center 3-pint link. If needed, retract “ARM 1" sightly to raise gauge wheels off the ground.

7.(See Figure 2-3)Adjust center 3-Point link (#3) so that the front of the cutter deck is slightly lower than the rear by 1/2".

8.Adjust front gauge wheels to the approximate cutting height (Vertical distance from bottom of front gauge wheels to tip of front cutting blade).

9.Adjust rear gauge wheel to be the same distance off the ground as the front gauge wheels.

10.Switch “ARM 2” and “DECK” cylinders to float position. This will allow the cutter deck to be supported by the gauge wheels.

a.Solenoid controlled cylinders:

Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”.

b.Tractor controlled levers:

Place “ARM 2” and “DECK” control levers in float position.

11.Recheck deck height at the front and rear. Make final adjustments to level the deck by changing the rear gauge wheel height until the deck rear is 1/2" higher than the deck front.

NOTE: Nominal cutting height is the distance from tip of front cutting blade to ground level.

12.Change nominal cutting height by raising or lowering the front and rear gauge wheels equally until the blade at the front is set at the correct height.

13.Recheck deck height at the front and rear. If needed, adjust rear gauge wheel until deck rear is 1/2" higher than deck front.

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.
