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.
•
Always shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing
anyone including the operator to hook up or unhook the
implement.
A 3-Point Category I or II hitch is required. The lower
3-Point arms of 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
1. Shorten or remove tractor drawbar to keep it from
interfering with Rear Blade blade.
2. Ensure lower hitch arms are stabilized to prevent
excessive side movement.
3. Slowly back tractor up to Rear Blade while using
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align lower hitch
link holes with Rear Blade lower hitch point holes.
4. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
5. With tractor’s lower hitch arms aligned and
positioned in clevises, insert hitch pins through clevis
lugs and lower arm holes. Be sure to use bushings
when making a Cat. II hook-up. Secure hitch pins
with linchpins.
NOTE:
Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
6. Connect top center link to upper pivot hitch mounting
holes using customer supplied clevis pin and
linchpin.
7. Remove wire pin and raise support stand fully up.
Reinsert wire pin and secure in place.

8. Return to tractor and slowly operate controls up and
down to check for clearance. Make certain Rear
Blade does not interfere with tractor hitch, tires, and
drawbar. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes.
9. Manually adjust one of two lower lift arms up or down
to level Rear Blade from left to right.
10. Manually adjust length of top-link to level Rear Blade
from front to rear.
IMPORTANT:
The top center 3-Point link should be

gauge wheel accessory.
