WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need 

weights added to the front to maintain steering control. 

Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper 

weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.

A 3-Point Category I or Category II hitch is required. The 
lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized 
to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have 
sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

1.

Slowly back tractor up to Rotary Cutter while using 
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align lower 
3-Point arm holes with clevis lug holes “C”.

2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off, 

and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

3. Attach lower arms to clevises with hitch pins (#9) and 

secure with hairpin cotters (#6) as follows:

a.

Cat. l 3-Point Hitch:

 Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in 

hole “A”.

b.

Cat. ll 3-Point Hitch and Cat. l & ll Quick Hitch:

 

Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in hole “B”.

c. See also Figure 1-5 & Figure 1-6 for illustration of 

hitch pin positions in clevis.

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.

4. Connect top center 3-Point link to upper pivot hitch:

a.

Cat. l Hitch:

 Connect center link with clevis 

pin (#8) and hairpin cotter (#7).

b.

Cat. ll Hitch:

 Connect center link with clevis 

pin (#8), pivot tube (#2), and hairpin cotter (#7).

5. The length of the top center link will be adjusted later 

after the tail wheel has been installed. 

6. The arm lift cylinders on your tractor’s 3- point hitch 

should be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please 
consult your tractor’s manual for adjusting 
instructions.
