General Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life 

of any implement. With careful inspection and routine 

maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts and pins after using the cutter for several 

hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are 

tight and secured. Replace worn, damaged, or illegible 

safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land 

Pride dealer.
Periodically, shutdown tractor by following the 

“Tractor 

Shutdown Procedure” 

on page 15. Dismount tractor 

and check for objects wrapped around blade spindles. 

Block deck up with solid, non-concrete supports before 

removing objects.

DANGER

!

To prevent serious injury or death:  

Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports 

before working under it. Never go under equipment 

supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can 

break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls 

can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

Always disengage power take-off, shut power machine 

down, and wait for cutter blades to spool down to a stop 

before allowing anyone to clean, service, preform 

maintenance, or be near the cutter. Refer to power machine 

shutdown procedures provided in this manual.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in 

this manual before dismounting the tractor.

Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose 

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, 

and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the 

implement back into service.

Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement 

with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or 

meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) 

specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the 

safety, function, performance, and life of the implement. 

Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

Buildup of debris around moving components and 

gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and 

gearboxes free from debris to avoid serious injury and 

property damage.

Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire 

hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level to avoid serious 

injury and property damage. 

Hydraulic System

One of the most important things you can do to prevent 

hydraulic system problems is to ensure your tractor's 

hydraulic reservoir remains free of dirt and other 

contaminations. 

Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends clean before 

attaching them to your tractor. Replace tractor hydraulic 

filter element at the prescribed intervals. Such 

maintenance will go a long way to prevent the occurrence 

of control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
Check for signs of damaged or worn hydraulic hoses, 

fittings and cylinders before each use of the cutter. 

Replace damaged components as needed. Order only 

genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride 

dealer.

DANGER

!

To prevent 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 

may result. DO NOT DELAY.

Tires

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed 

by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment. 

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling 

equipment adequate for the weight involved.

Always release all air pressure in air-filled airplane tires 

before removing hardware bolting the split rims together. 

Not doing so can cause the split rims to blow apart instantly 

and could result in serious injury or death.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose 

long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in 

front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if 

available. Do not over inflate tires.

Do not weld on or heat a rim. High heat can weaken and/or 

warp the rim and damage the tire. Air pressure inside the 

tire can increase enough to cause an explosion.

Air Filled Airplane Tires with Split Rims

Figure 5-1

1. Check tires for low air pressure, missing nuts, 

missing lug bolts, wear, separated rubber, and bent, 

broken, or cracked wheel rims. 

2. Inflate air filled tires to the proper pressure. Refer to 

“Tire Inflation Chart”
