Weight
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.
Tractor weight must be capable of controlling the
3-Way Rear Blade under all operating conditions. An
underweight tractor is difficult to steer. Do not use tractors
that are too light. See Important Note Below.
3-Point Hitch
A 3-Point Category II or Category III hitch is required for
standard hook-up. A 3-Point Category II hitch is required
if hooking-up with Land Pride’s QH20 Quick Hitch.

To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets at the
tractor is dependent upon how the 3-Way Rear Blade is

Three duplex outlets are required to connect the
following hydraulic cylinders: Offset Cylinder, Tilt
Cylinder and Angle Cylinder.
•
A fourth duplex outlet is required if a dual gauge wheel
is included.
