RCB5715 & RCBM5715 Rotary Cutter 337-046M

Table of Contents

4. Start tractor and set throttle speed just above idle. If

available, use tractor’s power take-off soft start option.

Slowly engage power take-off to get blades rotating.

(See

“Engage Blades”

instructions on page 46.)

5. Initial start-up vibration is normal and should stop

after a few revolutions. Stop power take-off rotation

immediately if vibration continues.

6. Once the cutter is running smoothly, increase throttle

to full cutter speed (540 or 1000 rpm).

If cutter vibrates excessively for 3 seconds at full

cutter speed, immediately disengage power take-off,

and shut tractor down before dismounting according

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”

on page 42.

8. Block center deck up before working under the cutter.
9. Inspect blade carriers for locked blades prior to

lowering the wings. Separate locked blades.

10. Check for other probable causes such as broken or

bent blades, loose blades, loose gearbox mounting

bolts, bent driveline etc.

11. Take proper precautions to make necessary repairs

and adjustments.

12. Repeat steps 1-11 above to make certain vibration is

corrected before putting the cutter back into service.

Transport Lock

DANGER

To prevent serious injury or death:
Do not walk, stand, or allow anyone else in the area where a

raised wing will fall unless the wing is securely locked in the

raised position with its transport lock.

The cutter wings need to be folded-up and locked before

transporting on a roadway, through narrow gate openings

and when servicing the deck underside.
1. Disengage power take-off and wait for cutter blades

to come to a complete stop before raising wings.

2. Raise cutter wings fully up with hydraulics.
3. Without relieving hydraulic pressure, shut tractor

down before dismounting according to

“Tractor

Shutdown Procedure”

on page 42.

See Figure 3-4 on page 45:

Remove hairpin

cotter (#1) from transport pin (#2) and remove

transport pin from storage holes (#4).

IMPORTANT:

Always disengage tractor’s power

take-off and wait for blades to come to a complete

stop before raising the wings to transport position.

Wing drivelines, wing gearboxes, and splitter

gearbox can be damaged if driveline is turning.

NOTE:

The wings are controlled with two hydraulic

lift cylinders. Be certain that the wing hydraulics are

attached to the tractor and the hydraulic hoses are

purged of air before proceeding.

See Figure 3-3 on page 45:

Insert transport pin (#2)

through lock hole (#3) and secure it with hairpin

cotter (#1).

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other wing. Your cutter is

now ready for transporting.

Transporting

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

•

Always raise wings and set transport locks before

transporting from one work site to another and before

traveling on public roadways. The wings can fall if not

secured with transport locks.

•

Always travel with cutter at a safe transport height. Be sure

that it is high enough to clear ground obstacles but not too

high that the cutter is unstable on hill sides or tight turns.

•

Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel

at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering

and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with

attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.

•

Watch while making tight turns to ensure that the rear

tractor tires and lower 3-point arms do not make contact

with cutter hitch, driveline or deck. Keep lower 3-point

arms raised at all times when hitched to a pull-type cutter.

•

When traveling on public roads, use LED lights, slow

moving vehicle sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate

devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your

presence. If implement blocks visibility of slow moving

vehicle sign, relocate sign so it is visible from the back at all

times. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.

•

When transporting after dark, use the power machine’s

working lights to avoid hitting objects and being hit by

approaching vehicles.

1. Always fold wings up and set transport locks before

traveling on public roadways.

2. With the center deck fully up, shut tractor down

according to

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”

page 42. Close all flip spacers with the red handle.

3. Retract lift cylinder until the cylinder rod clevis comes

against the flip spacers.

4. Relocate slow moving vehicle sign (SMV) from the

back of the tractor to the SMV mount on the back of

the center axle. If needed, a SMV sign can be

purchased from your nearest Land Pride dealer.

Refer to

“Slow Moving Vehicle Sign Accessory”

page 54.

5. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning

and leave enough clearance so the cutter does not

contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.

IMPORTANT:

The SMV sign should not be used

when transporting equipment on a truck or trailer

exceeding speeds of 25 mph. Cover or remove the

SMV sign when hauling the cutter.
