RC4610 (540 RPM) and RCM4610 (1000 RPM): Rotary Cutters: 334-144M:

Hydraulic Hook-up
The cutter is equipped with two hydraulic cylinders. The
cylinder on the main deck lifts the cutter and the other
cylinder folds the wing. Both cylinders are set-up for
single action (one-way) operation.
Each duplex outlet on your tractor can perform only one
operation. One outlet is needed for lifting the cutter and
one for lifting the wing. Optional control valve kits are
available if the tractor does not have two duplex outlets.
Your Land Pride dealer can help you determine the best
configuration that will match your needs and your tractor
capabilities. An optional control valve kit is available if the
tractor does not have the required number of duplex
outlets. For additional information, see

outlets, connect wing lift hose to that outlet and set
tractor control lever for that outlet in float position
before cutting.
2. Secure hydraulic hoses together with zip ties (#12)
as needed to keep them from pinch areas caused by
raising and lowering the deck, folding the wing, and
while making turns with the tractor.
