Tractor Maintenance
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor's
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor. Replace the filter element for your
tractor’s hydraulic system at the prescribed intervals.
These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent
the occurrence of cartridge valve and hydraulic cylinder
problems on the Rotary Cutter.
Storage
At the end of the working season or when the cutter will
not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean
off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the
cutter and any of the moving parts.
1.
Clean the cutter as necessary.
2.Check the blades for wear and replace if necessary, see
“
Service Cutting Blades
”, Page 18.
3.
Inspect the cutter for loose, damaged or worn parts
and adjust or replace as needed.
4.
Lubricate as noted in “
Lubrication
”, page 21.
5.
Store the cutter inside if possible for longer cutter life.
6.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride
touch-up paint.
