Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any implement. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.

After using your cutter for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.

Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.

!DANGER!

f.Both blades should weigh the same after sharpening with not more than 1 oz. difference.

IMPORTANT: Unbalanced blades will cause excessive vibration which can damage gearbox bearings and create structural cracks in cutter housing.

9.Make certain when installing cutter blades that the blades on one spindle is positioned 90 degrees to the blades on the other spindle as shown in Figure 4-1.

10.Examine blade bolts for excessive wear and replace if necessary. To replace blade bolts:

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before servicing the underside of the cutter deck. Cutter can be engaged if tractor is started resulting in damage to the cutter, bodily injury and/or death.

!WARNING!

Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside of the cutter. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when power to the hydraulics is shut off.

Service Cutting Blades

IMPORTANT: Blades must be ordered and replaced in pairs. Order only genuine Land Pride blades. Land Pride blades are made of special heat treated alloy steel. Substitute blades may not meet Land Pride’s specifications and may be dangerous to operate.

6.Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside of the cutter.

a.Order Land Pride blade bolt part #802-277C and lock nut #803-170C.

b.Refer to Figure 4-1. Carefully check the cutting edges of the blades in relation to the blade carrier rotation to ensure correct blade placement.

c.Torque blade lock nut to 450 ft. pounds. An extended cheater bar may be required.

7.Always inspect cutting blades before each use. Make certain they are properly installed and are in good working condition. Replace any blade that is damaged, worn, bent, or excessively nicked. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.

8.Both blades should be sharpened at the same angle as the original cutting edge and must be replaced or re-ground at the same time to maintain proper balance in the cutting unit. The following precautions should be taken when sharpening the blades:

a.Do not remove more material than necessary.

b.Do not heat and pound out a cutting edge.

c.Do not grind blades to a razor edge. Leave a blunt cutting edge approximately 1/16” thick.

d.Always grind the cutting edge so that the end of the blade remains square to the cutting edge and not rounded.

e.Do not sharpen the back side of the blade.
