Vent Plug Installation

Refer to Figure 1-7:

IMPORTANT: Cutters are shipped with a red plug in the splitter gear box to prevent loss of oil during shipping and handling. This plug must be replaced with a vent plug before operating the cutter.

A vent plug for the splitter gearbox is included in a bag with the manual. See your nearest Land Pride Dealer if vent plug is missing. Remove temporary red plug from top of splitter gearbox and replace with supplied vent plug.

3.Remove lower linch pins and hitch pins from the deck.

4.Slowly back tractor up to the cutter while using the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to adjust the lower link arms up or down to match the tractor’s lower arm pin holes to the cutter hitch pin holes. The lower lift arms of a Category 2 tractor will be positioned to the outside of the cutters lower hitch lugs on RCS35596 & RCSM35596 cutters.

5.Re-insert hitch pins and secure with linch pins.

PTO Hook-up

If the cutter is to be used on more than one tractor, an additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a quick hitch is used.

!CAUTION!

Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can damage the PTO shaft and mower driveline.

IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-8 below.

Tractor Hook-Up

!DANGER!

Crushing Hazard between tractor and implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and implement while backing-up to an implement. Never operate the hydraulic

3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.

!DANGER!

Engage parking brake, shut off tractor and remove key before dismounting from the tractor.

1.Locate the cutter on a flat level surface.

2.Determine the hitch category of the tractor that will be used:

a.Category I tractors will have a lower hitch link hole diameter of 7/8”. The top link hole diameter (cutter end) will be 3/4".

b.Category II tractors will have a lower hitch link hole diameter of 1 1/8”. The top link hole diameter (cutter end) will be 1".

c.Category III tractors will have a lower hitch link hole diameter of 1 7/16”. The top link hole diameter (cutter end) will be 1 5/16".

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate a 540 RPM driveline at 1,000 RPM or a 1,000 RPM driveline at 540 RPM. Many tractors provide both 540 and 1,000 RPM PTO speeds. Check your tractor’s manual to determine its capabilities.

IMPORTANT: The PTO driveline may be too long for some tractors. If the cutter is used on more than one tractor, an additional PTO driveline may be required.

Refer to Figure 1-9 on page 13:

1.Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic

3-point to lift the lower arms until the cutter’s driveline shaft is approximately level with tractor's PTO shaft.

2.Slide outer yoke end of driveline over the tractor's PTO shaft and secure with the locking collar. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor and cutter.
