Hydraulic Maintenance
DANGER
!
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate skin. 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 hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a
few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your Skid
Steer reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your Skid Steer. Replace the filter element for
your Skid Steer’s hydraulic system at the prescribed
intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way
to prevent occurrence of hydraulic problems.

Long Term Storage
DANGER
!
Do not modify the Rotary Cutter without authorization from
Land Pride. Unauthorized modifications to the cutter can
result in the cutter not performing properly and/or cause
DANGER
!
Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of cutter. Never work
under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can
drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines
burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when
power to the hydraulics is shut off.
CAUTION
!
Always store cutter with hitch plate in the upright position. A
hitch plate that is stored folded down against the deck can tip
up easily resulting in serious injury to the body.
Clean the Rotary Cutter at the end of the working season
or when the cutter will not be used for a long period.
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and
then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See
3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in the
Lubrication
portion of this
section starting on page 31.
7. Store the Rotary Cutter in a clean, dry place. The deck
should be positioned on a flat surface to suitable Skid
Steer hook-up height. Ensure that the main frame is
stable. Use auxiliary supports or posts if necessary to
prevent the possibility of the unit tipping over. Store
hitch in the upright position.
