Tractor Maintenance

One of the most important things you can do to prevent hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor's reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.

Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching them to your tractor. Replace the filter element for your tractor’s hydraulic system at the prescribed intervals.

These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent the occurrence of cartridge valve and hydraulic cylinder problems on the Rotary Cutter.

Storage

At the end of the working season or when the cutter will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the cutter and any of the moving parts.

Skid Shoe Maintenance

!WARNING!

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

There are two skid shoes mounted on the cutter sides. Check both skid shoes for wear and replace if necessary. Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride Dealer.

Refer to Figure 4-6:

1.Remove 3/8" hex whiz nuts (#3), 3/8" plow bolts (#2) and skid shoe (#1) as shown.

2.Plow bolts should be checked for wear and replaced if necessary.

3.Attach new skid shoe (#1) to cutter with existing 3/8” plow bolts (#2) and secure with 3/8" hex whiz nuts. Torque to 31 ft. lbs.

1. Clean the cutter as necessary.

2.Check the blades for wear and replace if necessary, see “Service Cutting Blades”, Page 18.

3.Inspect the cutter for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.

4.Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication”, page 21.

5.Store the cutter inside if possible for longer cutter life.
