Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.

This Disc Mower has been designed with care and built by
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Application

The Land Pride Disc Mowers are designed and built to cut
hay, grass, and other cultivated forage crops on farms,
ranches, set-aside acres, and vast right-of-ways. They are
adapted for 540 rpm three-point hitch Category II offset
mounting and are Quick-Hitch adaptable. They are
compatible with 35 HP to 80 HP tractors equipped with live
or independent PTO’s. The DM3605 has 5 discs and an
82" cutting width. The DM3606 has 6 discs and a 96"
cutting width and the DM3607 has 7 discs and a 112"
cutting width.

Land Pride Disc Mowers are designed to deliver good
cutting performance even in thick, tangled, and wet grass
conditions. Standard replaceable rock guards provide
cutter bar protection in stony conditions and will greatly
extend cutter bar life. A standard break-away latch will
release, allowing the cutter bar to swing back, if an
obstacle is hit.

Land Pride Disc Mowers are well suited for use in
agricultural regions where humidity and moisture
conditions are typically higher and the potential for crop
entanglement and tough ground conditions are present.
See “Features and Benefits”, “Section 5” for additional
information.
