3-Point Hitch
A 3-point Category II or Category III hitch is required. The
Cat. ll hitch is quick hitch adaptable. A quick hitch must
be used with Cat. lll hitch. The lower 3-point arms of the
3-point hitch must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side
movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable
chains for this purpose.
Hydraulic Outlets

infinite variable flow control (turtle/rabbit control) with
self-cancel detent without gauge wheels and float detent
with gauge wheels.
Weight
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Minimum:
Tractor weight must be sufficient to control the
Ditch Bank Cutter under all operating conditions. Tractors
that do not meet the absolute minimum weight listed
above must not be used.
IMPORTANT:
An extended extension arm will pull
the tractor’s front to the right. When necessary, add
weight to the tractor front to stabilize it. Consult your
tractor’s manual for allowable added weights.
IMPORTANT:
The tractor’s right rear wheel should
be pressurized to the manufactures highest
recommended air pressure.
It is best to add auxiliary weights to the left rear tractor
wheel. In addition, up to eight 100 lb. suitcase type
weights can be added to the optional weight hanger on
the hydraulic reservoir. However, adding weights to the
reservoir can lighten the tractor’s front. Additional
weights may need to be added to the front of the tractor.
Wheel Base
Refer to Figure 1-1:
Rear wheel base must meet minimum requirements
when measured from outside face to outside face of rear
tractor tires. Smaller wheel bases must not be used.
Tractors equipped with dual wheels will need the outside
right rear wheel removed.

Protective Equipment Requirements
Refer to Figure 1-1:
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always use a tractor equipped with protective equipment
designed to shield operator from thrown objects and protect
operator from tractor rollover. Always fasten seat belt snugly
and securely when operating the Ditch Bank Cutter. Operating
the Ditch Bank Cutter without proper protective equipment
can result in bodily injury or death.
The tractor
MUST
be equipped with protective equipment
designed to shield the operator from thrown objects and
tractor rollover. An enclosed tractor cab with a Roll Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) may qualify. See the
tractor’s manual to determine if it qualifies.
Tractors with only a ROPS must have a protective shield
added to the right-hand fender. A universal operator
protective shield is available from Land Pride. Refer to
“Protective Shield (Accessory)”
on page 28 for
additional information and installation.
