RCF(M)3096 Hitch Hook-Up (3-Point)

Refer to Figure 1-9:

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

•

A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking

implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-
up to implement or pulling away from implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is
directly behind the power machine or near the implement.

•

All guards and shields must be installed and in good

working condition while operating the implement.

•

Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or

unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.

The following hook-up instructions are for RCF(M)3096
cutters. See page 17 for

“RCF(M)3010 Hitch Hook-Up

(3-Point)”

IMPORTANT:

The tractor’s lower 3-point arms must

be stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement.
Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains
for this purpose.

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.

Make sure you have read and follow all Safety Alerts
and Important Notes above before continuing.

2. The RCF(M)3096 cutter is equipped with Cat. I & II

hitches. Make sure your tractor’s hitch is compatible
with the cutter’s hitch.

3. Remove lower hairpin cotters (#2) and hitch

pins (#4). Remove upper hairpin cotter (#2), flat
washer (#1), and hitch pin (#3).

4. Slowly back tractor to cutter while using tractor’s

3-point control lever to align lower 3-point arm holes
with clevis hitch pin holes.

5. Shut tractor down before dismounting using

“Tractor

Shutdown Procedure”

on page 11.

6. Attach lower 3-point arms to clevises with hitch

pins (#4). Secure hitch pins with hairpin cotters (#2).

Connect center 3-point link to upper hitch with clevis
pin (#3), flat washer (#1), and hairpin cotter (#2).

8. Adjust stabilizers on the tractor’s lower 3-point arms

to stop lateral float. Please consult your tractor’s
manual for adjusting instructions.

9. Manually adjust one of the lower 3-point lift arms up

or down to level the cutter from left to right. Detailed
leveling instructions are provided later. Refer to

“Deck Leveling & Height Adjustment”

on page 40.

10. Continue with

“Driveline Hook-up (3-Point)”

page 18.

NOTE:

All Cat. I and most Cat. II 3-point lift arms are

positioned inside the clevis hitch plates. Refer to

“Hitch Pin Modification (3-Point & Semi)”

on page

19 if hooking-up Cat. II 3-point lift arms or Cat. II
quick hitch outside the clevis hitch plates.
