Independently Controlled Deck Wings

Land Pride offers a kit for raising the deck wings independently to clear small obstacles in the field without maneuvering around them. Your tractor will require three duplex outlets to raise the wings independently. If needed, you can add duplex outlets to your tractor by purchasing Land Pride’s 3 Spool Control Valve Kit or their Selector Control Valve Kit. See “Duplex outlets” below if additional outlets are required.

IMPORTANT: Never operate this cutter under any terrain conditions where, on a continuous cut, the wing angle exceeds 45 degrees up. Damage to the wing driveline and gearboxes can occur. Raise wing only to clear obstacles and then lower the wing immediately after clearing the obstacles.

Follow all safety precautions in this manual especially information regarding raising the wings up with PTO running.

Duplex outlets

Some tractors do not have enough duplex outlets to handle the equipment connected the tractor. Land Pride offers the following kits to add duplex outlets to your tractor.

3 Spool Control Valve Kit: This kit is for tractors with a single duplex outlet. It converts the single duplex outlet into three duplex outlets with three hydraulic controlled levers.

Selector Control Valve Kit: This kit is for tractors needing only one additional duplex outlet. It converts one of the tractor’s duplex outlets into two duplex outlets with a control valve. A selector switch on the control valve selects which of the two duplex outlets is operational with the tractor hydraulic control lever.

See your local Land Pride dealer if your tractor is not properly equipped with the correct number of duplex outlets.
