DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly
behind the power machine or near the implement.
1. Slowly back tractor up to Rotary Cutter while using
tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control lever to align lower
3-point lift arms holes with cutter hitch pins (#1).
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. Slide lower 3-point lift arms onto cutter hitch
pins (#1). Install linchpins (#2) through hitch pin
holes to lock lower 3-point arms into position.
Linchpins are supplied by customer.
4. Connect top center 3-point link to upper hitch pin
holes using factory supplied 3/4" clevis pin (#3).
Secure clevis pin with hairpin cotter (#4).
5. Ensure tractor lower hitch arms are blocked to
prevent excessive side movement.
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. Return to tractor and slowly raise and lower
implement carefully to ensure drawbar, tires, and
other equipment on the tractor do not make contact
with cutter frame and driveline. Move or remove
drawbar if needed.
7.
Manually adjust one of the two lower 3-point lift arms
up or down to level the Rotary Cutter from left to right.
Final adjustments will be made later during
8. The arm lift rods on your tractor’s 3-point lift arms
should be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please
consult you tractor’s manual for adjusting
instructions.
