Transporting
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
•
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
•
Avoid catching hydraulic hoses on brush, posts, tree limbs,
and other protrusions that could damage and/or break them.
Refer to Figure 5-1:
1. If the tractor’s slow moving vehicle sign (SMV) (#1) is
not visible to operators in approaching vehicles from
the back, then relocate the sign from the back of the
tractor to mounting bracket (#2) on the rear of the
reservoir.
If needed, a slow moving vehicle sign can be
purchased from your nearest Land Pride dealer.
Refer to
“Slow Moving Vehicle Sign (Accessory)”
2. Always raise park stands and insert wire retaining
pins before traveling.
3. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. Use
lights to make yourself more visible on roadways.
4. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another. Maximum transport sped for the
reservoir is 20 mph (32 km/h). DO NOT EXCEED,
5. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave
enough clearance so the equipment does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
6. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly
terrain.

General Operating Instructions
This system is specifically intended to provide hydraulic
operating capability to hydraulic driven attachments on
the tractors that do not having enough hydraulic system
capacity to drive those attachments.
By now you should have thoroughly read your Operator’s
Manual, properly installed your Hydraulic Reservoir
System onto your tractor, fully opened the ball valve, and
performed your pre-start and operational running
checklist. Make sure you have reviewed safety and
operating instructions for the Hydraulic Reservoir and
front loader attachment you are about to operate, you
have made appropriate hydraulic connections to the
mating attachment, fully opened the ball valve, and the
attachment you will be operating is in a position to run in
static mode without causing damage.
Once you are ready to begin, you will want to increase the
tractors engine rpm to about mid range. With the tractor
in neutral gear and the park brake in the on position,
engage the 540 rpm rear power take-off while carefully
observing for hydraulic leaks, safety hazards, or
obstructions to normal attachment operation. If any such
malfunctions do occur, disengage the power take-off,
turn off the tractor, and take appropriate corrective action.
If no malfunctions are observed, engage power take-off
and increase engine rpm to normal power take-off speed
and again observe for proper operating function. If
everything is operating properly, you may commence
with normal operation of your attachment. Disengage the
power take-off immediately if at any time a malfunction of
the attachment is observed.
The HRS3025 with 3000 psi at 25 gpm and 35 gallon self
contained hydraulic reservoir is designed to provide
plenty of clean hydraulic flow for just about any
attachment in these operating ranges. With a little
practice, you will very soon learn how user friendly Land
Pride’s Hydraulic Reservoir System is to operate.
See Features and Benefits section for additional
information.
