Hitch Types
The cutter is factory supplied with the standard clevis
hitch. Other optional hitches are available. They include
Land Pride Performance hitch, bar-tite hitch, ball hitch,
and pintle hitch. See your nearest Land Pride dealer
should you want to change your hitch set-up.
Standard Clevis Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-2:
A clevis leveling rod attached to the underside of the
clevis keeps the clevis parallel with tractor drawbar at all
cutting heights. Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar
is limited to slots located in the clevis’ upper and lower
plates and drawbar hole size.
Land Pride Performance Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-3:
The LP Performance Hitch is a drawbar friendly,
self-leveling hitch that pivots up and down and side-to-
side. It is held upright with customer-supplied hitch pin to
allow single-person hook-up.
Bar-Tite Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-4:
The bar-tite hitch functions similar to LP Performance
hitch except it clamps directly to the drawbar. The bar-tite
hitch is sandwiched between hardened steel plates to
eliminate drawbar wear. It has a bushing in the tongue to
extend hitch life. Bushing and hitch swivel are greasable.
Ball Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-5:
Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to
swivel movement over the 2 5/16" tractor mounted ball.
Pintle Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-6:
A leveling rod attached to the underside of the pintle hitch
keeps the pintle parallel with the tractor drawbar at all
cutting heights. Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar
is limited to movement about the pintle connection. The
pintle hitch is ideal for a drawbar hammer strap.
