WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a tractor that is too small or too large. Small
tractors can be pushed around and flipped over. Large
tractors can damage the attached implement.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
•
Power take-off damage may occur if distances “A” and
“B” are not properly maintained.
Maintain proper distance, dimension “A”, between center
of drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor power take-off
shaft.

Hydraulic Outlets
Depending on purchased fold option, two to three duplex
outlets are required. Two outlets are needed when
choosing a fold option where the wings fold
simultaneously. Three outlets are needed when choosing
a fold option where the wings fold independently.
Land Pride highly recommends connecting the wing fold
hose(s) to a duplex outlet with float capabilities and use
the float when in field operation.
Accessory available to convert from two duplexes to one
duplex.
Before You Start
Be sure to read and fully understand this Operator’s
Manual. An understanding of how the Rotary Cutter works
will aid in the assembly and setup of your machine.
It is best to go through the
“Assembly Checklist” on this
page before assembling the Rotary Cutter. To speed up
your assembly task and make the job safer, have all
needed parts and equipment readily at hand.
Torque Requirements
See “Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes” on
page 65 to determine correct torque values when
tightening hardware. View bottom of chart for “ Additional
Torque Values”
for exceptions to common torque values.
Assembly Checklist

Check Ref.
Have a hoist, fork lift, or loader with properly sized chains and
safety stands capable of lifting and supporting the equipment on
hand.
Have a minimum of two people available during assembly.
