Tractor Requirements

Horsepower

The cutter is designed to be used on tractors with 50 to 250 hp.

Hitch

Refer to Figure 1-1:

The cutter uses a drawbar type hitch hook-up. Maintain proper distance, dimension “A”, between center of drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor PTO shaft.

•“A” = 14" for 540 rpm

•“A” = 16" for 1000 rpm

•“B” = 8" for 540 rpm and 1000 rpm

•“C” = 18” to 21” for 540 rpm and 1000 rpm

IMPORTANT: PTO damage may occur if distance “A” is not properly maintained.

Hydraulic Outlets

The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets is dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up. The tractor will require two duplex outlets for the 10’ and 15’ series. Three duplex outlets are required for the 15’ series if the wings are raised and lowered independently.

•Two duplex outlets are required for the 10’ and 15’ series.

•Three duplex outlets are required if the wings on the 15’ series are raised and lowered independently.

Control valve kits are available from your local Land Pride dealer if the tractor is not equipped with the correct number of duplex outlets.

PTO Speed

!CAUTION!

Do not over speed PTO. The cutter can be damaged when operated above its rated PTO RPM.

Either a 540 rpm or 1000 rpm tractor Power Take-Off (PTO) is required. The RC5015 and RC6015 cutters are designed for 540 rpm and the RCM5015 and RCM6015 are designed for 1000 rpm.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate a 540 RPM driveline cutter with a 1000 RPM PTO tractor and do not operate a 1000 RPM driveline cutter with a 540 RPM PTO tractor. Many tractors provide both 540 and 1000 RPM PTO modes. Check your tractor’s manual to determine its capabilities.

Before You Start

Read and understand the operator’s manual for your cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the assembly and set-up of your cutter.

It is best to go through the Pre-Assembly Checklist before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly task and make the job safer by having all the needed parts and equipment readily at hand.

This cutter has been partially assembled at the factory. However, there is still some assembly required before the cutter is ready for operation.
