Hook-up Rotary Cutter
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.
1. If hooking cutter to a M6 Kubota tractor, you must
“Kubota 3-Point Stabilizer Kit”
on page 52 to
the tractor and cutter mainframe.
2. Complete steps a-b below when hooking-up a cutter
shipped from the factory with deck rotated up.
Otherwise, skip to step 3.
a. Make sure the transport safety chain is hooked to
the deck before moving the cutter and before
working around the cutter. Refer to
b. With a fork lift or other lifting device, place the
cutter on a flat level concrete surface.
IMPORTANT:
The optional 3-Point Stabilizer Kit
must be used with RCP2760 & RCPM2760 Parallel
Arm Rotary Cutters when hooking-up to a
M6 or M7 Kubota tractor only. The Kubota tractor
can be damaged if this kit is not used. See
Hydraulic fluid must be added to the
cutter hydraulic reservoir before operating the pump.
Otherwise, the hydraulic pump will be damaged.
IMPORTANT:
A quick hitch may be used with the M7
Kubota tractor and other non Kubota tractors. Land
Pride does not recommend using the Quick Hitch as
it moves the cutter deck back about 5" (13 cm) and
impedes operator visibility.
An additional driveline may be
required if implement is attached to more than one
tractor or if a Quick Hitch is used.
