Hydraulic Hose Hook-up

!DANGER

Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.

There are two arrangements to hooking up the hydraulic hoses:

Arrangement - #1 Solenoid Controlled Cylinders: Two duplex outlets are required to operator the arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway cylinder. Parallel arm and deck cylinders are solenoid activated with momentary push button switches at the control stick. Breakaway cylinder is controlled by tractor lever.

Arrangement - #2 Tractor Controlled Cylinders: Four tractor duplex outlets are required to operator the arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway cylinder. Tractor levers operator all four cylinders.

NOTE: The response time with solenoid controlled cylinders is faster than tractor controlled cylinders. Therefore, the operator might want to consider arrangement #1 when frequent changes to deck positioning are required.

Solenoid Controlled Cylinders

Refer to Figure 1-9:

IMPORTANT: Plumbing instructions in step step 1 below are for cutters hooked to tractors capable of 16 GPM hydraulic flow and above.

1.Plumb return line #2 to tractor sump or motor return line (motor return line in Figure 5-5 on page 35). Fittings for plumbing are customer supplied.

IMPORTANT: Plumbing instructions in steps step 2 to step 5 below are for all cutters with solenoid controlled cylinders.

Refer to Figure 1-9:

2.Connect pressure line #1 and return line #1 to one of the tractor’s duplex outlets. Pioneer-quick disconnect hose couplings are supplied with each hose. Some tractors use other types of quick couplers.

3.Determine tractor’s hydraulic configuration. Consult tractor's manual if unsure.

•PC Closed Center System (Pressure Compensating)

•LS Closed Center System (Load Sensing)

•Open Center System

Refer to Figure 1-10:

4.Remove plastic cover located at the rear of the solenoid valve control box.

5.Adjust hydraulic flow control valve Knob at the solenoid valve block as follows:

•PC & LS Closed Center System: (PC = Pressure Compensating) (LS = Load Sensing)

Set solenoid valve on RCP unit to “CLOSED” by turning the flow control knob “CLOCKWISE” until the knob will not rotate any further. Flow control setting to have all oil going to solenoid valve on unit.

•Open Center System:

Set solenoid valve on RCP unit to “OPEN” by turning the flow control knob “COUNTER CLOCKWISE” until knob will not rotate any further. Adjust tractor flow control setting as outlined in “Tractor Flow Control” on page 25.

RCP2660, RCPM2660, RCPM3060, RCP3060 specifications

Land Pride has a longstanding reputation for producing high-quality agricultural equipment, and their line of RCP series rotary cutters, including the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, and RCP2660, exemplifies this commitment. Designed for professional landscapers and farmers alike, these rotary cutters are engineered for durability, efficiency, and performance in managing heavy brush and grass.

The RCP3060 is the largest in the series, boasting a 60-inch cutting width. It is equipped with a robust frame and is compatible with a range of tractors, making it an ideal choice for large-scale property maintenance and land management. The cutter employs a heavy-duty, reinforced cutting deck, which ensures longevity and able to withstand tough conditions. It utilizes a superior blade design that delivers clean and consistent cuts, promoting healthier growth of remaining grass and vegetation.

The RCPM3060, a medium-duty model, also features a 60-inch cutting width but is designed for lighter applications compared to the RCP3060. It incorporates similar build quality but is lighter, making it suitable for smaller tractors while still handling brush and grass efficiently. The integrated slip clutch protects the drive line from damage in case of blade contact with a solid object.

Both RCPM2660 and RCP2660 models provide a more compact solution with a 66-inch cutting width. The RCPM2660 is specifically tailored for medium-duty tasks, while the RCP2660 serves heavy-duty needs. Both cutters promote high productivity and versatility, making them suitable not just for agricultural use but also for commercial landscaping applications. The blades are designed for easy replacement, ensuring minimal downtime during operation.

All models in the RCP series integrate advanced technologies such as a quick-attach feature for easy connectivity, and adjustable side skids to control cutting height effectively. The heavy-gauge steel construction provides enhanced durability and helps reduce vibrations during operation. Furthermore, Land Pride's commitment to safety is reflected in the design with features that minimize dust and debris exposure.

In conclusion, whether you choose the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, or RCP2660, you can rely on Land Pride's RCP series rotary cutters to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, designed to withstand the demands of any landscape maintenance task.
