Section 1: Assembly & Set-up

Momentary Push Button Switches

Cycle “ARM 1”, “ARM 2”, and “DECK” cylinders to ensure they operate properly as follows:

1.If included, make sure Float Switch is set to “OFF” and LED light is “OFF”.

Refer to Figure 1-15 & Figure 1-16 on page 20:

2.Read and understand “Transport Safety Chain” on page 20 before continuing.

3.Remove transport safety chain from the latched position and place loose end on storage hook.

4.Start tractor and adjust 3-point hitch until PTO driveline is approximately level.

5.Two hoses from the solenoid control valve were connected to the tractor’s single duplex outlet in step 2 on page 17. Lock the control lever for this duplex outlet in either the “Extend Position” or the “Retract Position”.

Refer to Figure 1-17:

6.Press and hold “ARM 1 OUT” push button switch. The inboard parallel arm should extend outward. If it does not move, or moves in the wrong direction (retracts), you should do one of the following:

a.Change the position of the console lever from automatic retract to automatic extend or vice-versa.

b.Reverse the hoses at the duplex outlet.

7.Press and hold “ARM 2 OUT” push button switch. The outboard parallel arm should extend.

8.Press and hold “DECK DOWN” switch. The deck cylinder should extend and deck should pivot down.

NOTE: Cycle all three cylinders to full extension and retraction to remove any air that might be trapped in the system.

9.Check hydraulic fluid level in your tractor's reservoir. If low, add fluid to the system before proceeding. The cylinders and hoses will require approximately

1 3/4 gallons from the tractor.

Float Switch Control

Gauge wheels must be installed before checking Float Switch operation. Install gauge wheels per instructions on page 24 titled “Gauge Wheel Model Set-up”.

Make this functional check with “ARM 1” and “ARM 2” approximately 3/4 extended and with the cutter deck resting on its gauge wheels.

1.Operate “ARM 1 OUT”, “ARM 2 OUT” and “DECK DOWN” push button switches to extend the arms and to lower the deck to ground level.

2.Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”. LED light should be illuminated when Float switch is “ON”.

IMPORTANT: Do Not push “DECK” and “ARM 2” switches for more than two seconds before releasing them when Float Switch is turned to “ON”.

3.Press and hold “DECK UP” push button switch for under two seconds. The deck cylinder should retract pivoting the deck up. Release “DECK Up” switch and deck should fall back onto its gauge wheels.

4.Press and hold “ARM 2 OUT” push button switch for under two seconds. “ARM 2” should extend raising the deck up. Release switch and the deck should fall back onto its gauge wheels.

5.For safety, return Float Switch to “OFF”. LED light should be out (not illuminated).

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.
