Section 4: Optional Equipment

Hydraulic Control Options

There are four options available.

Solenoid Control with Standard Deck Option:

Cutting deck is supplied without gauge wheels. Two duplex outlets are required to operate arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway cylinder. Arm and deck cylinders are solenoid activated with momentary push button switches at the control stick. Breakaway cylinder is controlled by tractor lever.

Tractor Control with Standard Deck Option:

Cutting deck is supplied without gauge wheels. Four tractor duplex outlets are required to operate the arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway cylinder. Tractor levers operator all cylinders.

Solenoid Control with Valve Float Deck Option:

Cutting deck is supplied with gauge wheels for controlling deck height and angle in lieu of momentary push button switches. Two duplex outlets are required to operate arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway cylinder. Arm and deck cylinders are solenoid activated with momentary push button switches at the control stick. An “ON/OFF” push button Float Switch is included on the control stick to bypass “ARM 2” and “DECK” solenoids allowing the deck to float on its gauge wheels. Breakaway cylinder is controlled by tractor lever.

Tractor Control with Hose Float Deck Option:

Cutting deck is supplied with gauge wheels for controlling deck height and angle in lieu of control levers. Four duplex outlets are required at the tractor to operate the arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway cylinder. Tractor levers operator all cylinders. “ARM 2” and “DECK” control levers are set in float position when carrying the deck on its gauge wheels.

Operator Protective Shield Option

An optional operator protective shield is available for use on tractors not equipped with cabs or other protective shielding. This shield is a “universal” type and is suitable for attachment to a conventional Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) that is already attached to the tractor. It is constructed of an extruded aluminum frame and glazed with 1/4" clear lexan polycarbonate.

Mounting hardware will permit attachment to ROPS having cross-section dimensions of 2" x 4", 2" x 5", and 2" x 6" or 2 1/2" x 4", 2 1/2" x 5" and 2 1/2" x 6". Other sizes may require longer mounting bolts and/or custom flatbars. Installation requires that 4 mounting holes be drilled in the frame of the shield. No modification is made to the ROPS.

Protective Shield Installation

Refer to Figure 4-1:

1.Measure width and thickness of the tractor ROPS bar to determine if the clamping hardware supplied will be adequate.

2.Compare parts list and quantities with parts received. Report any missing or damaged items to your dealer.

NOTE: To determine the best location for the protective shield, the cutter should be connected to the tractor, parallel arms should be fully extended and the deck should be approximately horizontally level.

3.Carefully remove the shield from the shipping carton and temporarily position it on the inside surface of the ROPS bar. Locate shield forward/back and up/down to provide the best overall coverage for the tractor operator. Use a spirit level to level the shield before marking. Mark frame location with a pencil on each side of the ROPS bar; and mark vertical ROPS location on the shield frame.

4.Position protective shield (#5) on a flat work surface. Locate one of the flatbars (#4) next to the pencil marks to determine which set of holes will clear the vertical marks for the ROPS location. Mark hole location and drill two 1/4" diameter holes through the shield frame. Similarly mark and drill two additional holes for the lower clamp location.

5.Attach shield to the inside surface of the ROPS bar with 1/4" x 4" cap screw (#6), 1/4" flat washer (#3), 1/4" lockwasher (#2) and 1/4" nut (#6).

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.
