Section 6: Maintenance & Lubrication

Land Pride

Refer to Figure 6-2:

IMPORTANT: Examine blade bolts (#1) and washers (#5) for excessive wear and replace if worn.

IMPORTANT: Locknuts can loose their ability to lock properly once removed. Therefore, always use a used blade nut or plain nut in steps step 7 & step 8 below and then replace used nut with new locknut in step step 9.

7.Start by assembling blades without shim (#2). Insert blade bolt (#1) through blade (#3), dish pan (#4) and flat washer (#5). Temporary secure blade with a used 1 1/8"-12 nut. Draw nut up snug. Do not tighten.

8.Check blade deflection. If deflection is greater than 3/4", remove blade bolt and reassemble as before except include shim (#2) in the assembly. Select shim thickness based on deflection. The greater the deflection, the thicker the shim.

9.Once blade deflection is correct, replace used nut with new locknut (#6) and torque to 450 ft. lbs.

Skid Shoes

!WARNING

Excessive wear on skid shoes may cause inadequate operation of cutter and create a safety hazard!

Inspect skid shoes at the beginning of each cutting season. Check all skid shoes weekly for wear and replace if necessary. Original material thickness is 1/4". They should be replaced when the material thickness is less than 1/8" at any point. They are interchangeable from left to right.

Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride Dealer.

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.
