ARM 1 OUT/IN Switches

“ARM 1 OUT/IN” push button switches extends and retracts the inboard parallel arm. Deck pivot angle remains unchanged while operating these two switches. “ARM 1” push button switches are always functional and will operate with Float Switch turned “ON” or “OFF”.

Refer to Figure 1-15 & Figure 1-16:

!WARNING

1.Press and hold “ARM 1 OUT” push button to extend inboard arm. Release switch to stop movement.

2.Press and hold “ARM 1 IN” push button to retract inboard arm. Release switch to stop arm movement.

Float ON/OFF Switch

The control stick will be equipped with a Float Switch and LED light only if the cutter deck is equipped with gauge wheels.

Press and release the Float Switch to turn float function “ON”. Press and release the switch again to turn float function “OFF”. Toggling the switch back and forth in this fashion will turn float function “ON” & “OFF” repetitively. LED light illuminates only when the Float Switch is “ON”.

Float Switch Turned ON:

When “ON”, the Float Switch allows the deck to be carried on the gauge wheels. “Deck UP/DOWN” and “ARM 2 OUT/IN” push button switches are bypassed allowing deck position to change with the terrain.

“ARM 1” push button switches are not bypassed. Therefore, “ARM 1 IN” switch can be pressed to move deck closer and to raise parallel arms for clearing objects. “ARM 2 OUT” switch can be pressed to move deck farther away from tractor.

The deck can be raised with “ARM 2 OUT” push button switch or pivoted up with “DECK UP” push button switch but neither switch will hold the deck to this changed position. Instead, the deck will fall onto the gauge wheels as soon as the push button is released.

Float Switch Turned OFF:

The Float Switch, when “OFF”, allows the operator to control all six momentary push button switches individually (ARM 1, ARM 2 & Deck).

Turn Float Switch “OFF”:

1.When transporting the cutter.

2.When crossing ditches that will cause the deck to become high centered or gauge wheels to catch stopping forward travel.

3.When encountering raised areas such as banks, stumps, rocks or other protrusions that the gauge wheels cannot and/or should not roll over.

4.When the operator wants full control of cutter deck and parallel arms.

Transport safety chain must remain hooked to the deck until ready to extend parallel arms and deck cylinder. Float Switch must always be “OFF” until deck has been lowered to ground level.

The transport safety chain should always be hooked to the deck hook when cutter is folded up. Otherwise, the operating levers and/or push button switches could be bumped or hoses could burst allowing deck to fall and cause damage to cutter, tractor, and anyone nearby.

Before unhooking the transport safety chain, make sure the arm and deck cylinders are retracted and if available, the Float Switch is set to “OFF”. Do not force safety chain off of the deck hook. If safety chain does not remove easily, investigate the problem and correct before continuing. Once unhooked, store safety chain on storage hook for safe keeping.

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.
