Tractor Requirements
Horsepower
Tractor rating should be between 35 - 80 horsepower.
Tractors outside this range must not be used.
Weight
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
Tractor weight must be capable of controlling the
Rear Blade under all operating conditions. An
underweight tractor is difficult to steer. Do not use tractors
that are too light. See Important Note Below.
3-Point Hitch Assembly
A 3-Point Category l or II hitch is required. The lower
3-Point arms must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side
movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable
chains for this purpose.
Hydraulic Outlets
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets is
dependent upon how the Rear Blade is set-up.
•
No outlets are required if Rear Blade is set-up with
manual links and ratchet jackets only.
•
One to three duplex outlets are required if Rear Blade
is set-up with any one or more of the following
hydraulic cylinders; Offset Cylinder, Tilt Cylinder, and
Angle Cylinder. Each cylinder will requires a duplex
outlet at the tractor.
•
A fourth duplex outlet is required if a gauge wheel is
purchased with a hydraulic cylinder.
A Selector Valve Kit may be purchased through your local
Land Pride dealer if your tractor does not have the
required number of duplex outlets. The selector valve
provides a way to operate 2 hydraulic cylinders through
one duplex outlet at the tractor. See
on page 18 for Kit Part No. and
assembly instructions.
Torque Requirements
See
“Torque Values Chart”
on page 34 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware.
