Refer to Figure 2-3:

!DANGER

Engage parking brake, disengage power to cutter, shut off Skid Steer, remove key and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop before dismounting from the Skid Steer.

IMPORTANT: The blades should be positioned to cut material only at the front of the cutter. If the deck is level or the rear of the cutter is lower than the front, then the blades are subject to continuous material flow resulting in cutting clumps at the discharge chute, horsepower loss, high blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.

NOTE: Nominal Cutting Height is the distance from bottom of cutter blade to ground level at the front of the cutter. Subtract 1 1/2" from Nominal Cutting Height to determine distance (A). Distance

(A)is measured from bottom of front skid shoes to ground level.

1.Park Skid Steer with cutter on a level surface.

2.Adjust ratchet jack to raise gauge wheel up until it is even with bottom of front skid shoes.

3.Use Skid Steer hydraulics to lower Skid Steer lift arms and to tilt cutter hitch plate angle until bottom of skid shoe at the front deck corner is dimension (A) off the ground and the rear deck corner is slightly higher off the ground than the front deck corner.

4.Adjust ratchet jack to lower gauge wheel until it is at ground level.

5.With gauge wheel at ground level, use Skid Steer hydraulics to adjust cutter hitch plate angle until the float chain sags.

!CAUTION

Do Not over angle hitch plate forward. Over angling can cause damage to deck, hitch and gauge wheel.

The Rotary Cutter should be operated with gauge wheel on the ground, slack in float chain and deck rear slightly higher off the ground than deck front. As the operator travels over uneven terrain, the Skid Steer hitch plate tilt angle and lift arm height may need some readjusting to maintain correct deck positioning.

Float Chain should sag when gauge wheel is resting on level ground. Adjust hitch plate tilt angle to put a sag in the Float Chain.

SC2672, SC2660 specifications

The Land Pride SC2660 and SC2672 are exceptional tillers designed to enhance agricultural productivity through their advanced features and technologies. These models are tailored for small to medium-sized tractors, making them versatile choices for hobby farmers and professionals alike.

One of the standout characteristics of the SC2660 and SC2672 is their robust construction. Built with high-quality materials, these tillers ensure durability and longevity, allowing them to withstand the rigors of demanding soil conditions. The two models differ primarily in width, with the SC2660 featuring a 60-inch working width, while the SC2672 offers a slightly wider 72-inch option, catering to various land preparation needs.

Both tillers are equipped with heavy-duty tines made from hardened steel, providing excellent soil penetration and thorough tilling action. The tines are designed to break up compacted soil effectively, promoting better aeration and root growth for crops. The adjustable tilling depth feature allows operators to customize the tilling process to meet specific agricultural requirements, ensuring optimal soil health and structure.

The SC2660 and SC2672 incorporate a chain drive system that delivers reliable power from the tractor to the tiller. This efficient drive mechanism reduces wear and enhances the tillers' overall performance, ensuring a smooth operation even under challenging conditions. The adjustable side skids provide further flexibility, allowing users to control the width of the tilling area, which is particularly beneficial for row cropping applications.

Another important aspect of these tillers is their ease of use. The quick-hitch compatibility allows for fast attachment and detachment, saving valuable time in the field. Additionally, the low maintenance requirements and straightforward design mean that operators can focus more on tilling and less on equipment upkeep.

In summary, the Land Pride SC2660 and SC2672 tillers offer a blend of strength, efficiency, and ease of use. Their durable build, adjustable features, and reliable performance make them an indispensable tool for any agricultural operation.
