Introduction

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.

This Disc Mower has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Application

The Land Pride Disc Mowers are designed and built to cut hay, grass, and other cultivated forage crops on farms, ranches, set-aside acres, and right-of-ways. They are adapted for 540 rpm 3-point hitch Category II offset mounting and are Quick-Hitch adaptable. They are compatible with 35 HP to 80 HP tractors equipped with live or independent PTO’s. The DM3705 has 5 discs and an 82" cutting width. The DM3706 has 6 discs and a 96" cutting width and the DM3707 has 7 discs and a 112" cutting width.

Land Pride Disc Mowers are designed to deliver good cutting performance even in thick, tangled, and wet grass conditions. Standard replaceable rock guards provide cutter bar protection in stony conditions and will greatly extend cutter bar life. A standard break-away latch will release, allowing the cutter bar to swing back, if an obstacle is hit.

Land Pride Disc Mowers are well suited for use in agricultural regions where humidity and moisture conditions are typically higher, where there is a potential for crop entanglement, and where tough ground conditions are present. See “Features and Benefits”, “Section 5” for additional information.
