Operating Check List

The RCP2660, RCPM2660, RCP3060 & RCPM3060 Series Parallel Arm Hydraulic Rotary Cutters are uniquely versatile and powerfully productive cutting implement in the hands of a knowledgeable, skilled and responsible operator. These cutters are frequently operated on inclines in populated and high traffic areas. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates these cutters without first having read, fully understood and become totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure the operator has paid particular attention to:

•Important Safety Information, pages 1 to 9

•Section 1: Assembly & Set-up,page 12

•Section 2: Adjustments, page 25

•Section 3: Operating Procedures, page 27

•Section 6: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 37

Make the following inspections after attaching cutter to the tractor. See hook-up instructions beginning on page 14. Make certain PTO is disengaged and completely stopped.

1.Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in good working condition.

10.Check tractor safety equipment. Particularly check the ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and the Operator Protective shield (optional, see page 31) to be sure both are in good working condition.

Transporting

!CAUTION

Always use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operator’s of other vehicles when traveling on public roads, night or day. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

!CAUTION

When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

!CAUTION

Always disengage tractor PTO before transporting cutter to avoid injury from thrown objects or blade contact.

2.Carefully raise and lower implement with tractor

3-point controls to ensure drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact the frame or PTO driveline.

3.Lubricate Rotary Cutter as needed. Refer to “Lubrication Points” on page 40.

4.Check cutter initially and periodically for loose bolts and Pins. Refer to “Torque Values Chart” on page 48.

5.Check all guards and shields to make certain they are in good working condition and in place.

6.Check all hoses and wires to be sure that they will not contact PTO driveline.

7.Inspect Hydraulic hoses for wear, damage and hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard” on page 3. Replace damaged and worn hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.

8.With PTO disengaged and completely stopped, check cutting blades for sharpness.

9.Check the following with deck placed in transport position, PTO disengaged and completely stopped, and the transport safety chain is engaged in the deck hook. Wear your safety glasses.

a.Check blades to be sure that they are not locked (overlapped) together.

b.Check blades for sharpness.

c.Ensure that both blade bolts and center blade carrier hub nuts are tight.

!CAUTION

The cutter is 10’-6" wide. Care should be taken when encountering oncoming traffic and roadside obstructions. Reduce speed and/or stop if in doubt about safe clearance. Resume traveling speed only after it is safe to proceed.

1.Disengage tractor PTO.

2.If provided, set Float Switch to “OFF”. Make sure LED light is “OFF”.

3.Retract both parallel arms and position deck vertically with blades facing outboard (away from tractor).

4.Manually hook transport safety chain to deck hook as shown in Figure 1-15 on page 20.

5.Raise hitch up to provide 8" - 12" clearance between deck and ground.

6.Always transport to the work site at a safe speed. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. A slow moving vehicle sign should always be properly displayed when using public roads or right-of ways.

7.Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning; and leave enough clearance so the Rotary Cutter does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

8.When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to a lower gear.

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.
