•Four duplex outlets are required if parallel arms, deck and breakaway cylinders are all controlled by tractor levers.
PTO Speed
The RCP cutters requires 540 rpm Power
Protective Equipment
Refer to Figure 1-1:
The tractor MUST be equipped with protective equipment designed to shield the operator from thrown objects and tractor roll over. An enclosed tractor cab with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may qualify. See tractor’s manual for type of protection your tractor has.
Tractors with only a ROPS must also have a protective shield added to the right hand fender. A universal operator protective shield is available from Land Pride. Refer to page 31 for additional information and installation.
It is also recommended that a protective shield or screen be added to the right hand side of the tractor engine cowling and radiator. This will help protect the tractor’s finish and radiator against thrown objects.
