Tractor Maintenance

One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor's
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.

Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor. Replace the filter element for your
tractor’s hydraulic system at the prescribed intervals.
These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent
the occurrence of control valve and hydraulic cylinder
problems.

Storage

It is good practice to clean, inspect, service and make
necessary repairs to the cutter when parking it for long
periods and when parking it at the end of a working
season. This will help ensure the cuter is ready for field
use the next time you hook-up to it.

!

DANGER!

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and secure
cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before
servicing the underside of the cutter.

1.

Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.

2.

Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on
page 22.

3.

Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.

4.

Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting on
page 29.

5.

Replace all damaged or missing decals.

6.

Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.

7.

Follow all unhooking instructions on page 16 when
disconnecting tractor from cutter.

8.

Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride
touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT or GL to the end of the Aerosol part number.
