Section 2: Assembly & Set-up

11.Start tractor and raise cutter just enough to remove support blocks used in step 4a on page 12.

12.Slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic 3-point controls to raise and lower the cutter. Check drawbar clearance. Move or remove drawbar as needed.

Hydraulic Hookup

1.Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor duplex outlet(s). “Pioneer” quick disconnect hose couplings are supplied with each hose. Some tractors use other types of quick couplers.

a.See Figure 2-4: If the cutter is equipped with the optional electric cylinder control, two hoses from the solenoid valve control box will be attached to a single duplex outlet on the tractor.

See Figure 2-5:You must determine if the tractor being used is configured for “OPEN” or “CLOSED” center hydraulic flow. Consult the tractor operator's manual if unsure. Remove the access cover located at the rear of the solenoid valve control box to adjust the flow control valve. If the tractor is OPEN center, the valve must be open (turn knob counterclockwise). If the tractor is CLOSED center, the valve must be closed (turn knob clockwise).

b.See Figure 2-6: If the cutter is NOT equipped with the optional Electric Cylinder Control, six hoses (2 per cylinder) will be connected to 3 duplex outlets on your tractor. Each tractor duplex outlet must be capable of infinite, variable flow control by the operator and should have center detent (off) levers. A typical tractor setup is shown in Figure 2-6. The hoses on each outlet should be connected such that when the control lever is pushed “forward”, the arm (or deck) extends. If the levers operate in reverse, simply reverse the hoses at the duplex receptacle.

Built with a heavy-duty frame and steel components, these cutters are engineered to withstand the rigors of tough mowing conditions. They feature a fully welded deck to ensure strength and longevity, providing operators with confidence during operation.

A key characteristic of the Parallel Arm design is the ability to deliver consistent cutting performance across varying terrains. This unique design allows the cutter to follow the ground contour closely, ensuring that the blades maintain an even cutting height. This is especially beneficial when navigating uneven or hilly landscapes, delivering a professional-quality finish.

The RCP2560 and RCPM2560 come equipped with high-capacity cutter blades designed for efficient grass and brush cutting. These blades are strategically angled to optimize cutting efficiency while minimizing power consumption. Users can enjoy reduced maintenance costs and longer service intervals because of the durable, replaceable blades.

The technology behind these rotary cutters includes a quick-attach mounting system, making it easier for operators to connect and disconnect the mower from their tractors. This feature saves time and enhances productivity, allowing for quicker transitions between tasks.

Additionally, the RCPM2560 model offers a medium-duty option, catering to operators looking for versatility in their cutting operations. Both models come with adjustable side skids that enable operators to modify the cutting height easily, further enhancing their adaptability for different mowing applications.

Safety is paramount with Land Pride's rotary cutters, which are designed with user-friendly controls and a stable operating design. Optional safety features, such as a chain guard, are available to protect against flying debris, underscoring the focus on operator safety.

In summary, the Land Pride RCP2560 and RCPM2560 Parallel Arm Rotary Cutters bring together durability, efficiency, and user-friendly features to transform landscaping and agricultural mowing tasks. With their advanced technologies and robust construction, these rotary cutters are a valuable investment for any operator looking to achieve superior cutting performance.
