DANGER  
Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking  
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A  
persons body and/or clothing can become entangled in the  
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.  
A tractor with 3-Point Category lI or lII hitch is required.  
The lower 3-Point arms must be stabilized to prevent  
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks  
or adjustable chains for this purpose.  
!
DANGER  
All guards and shields must be installed and in good working  
condition at all times during cutter operation.  
1. Slowly back tractor to the Rotary Cutter while using  
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control lever to align lower  
3-Point arm hitch holes with clevis hitch pin holes.  
!
WARNING  
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off  
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.  
Always disengage PTO, put tractor in park or set park brake,  
shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for  
blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.  
NOTE: Adapter bushings (#13) are used if tractor  
3-Point hitch is Cat. lll. The bushing can also be  
used when using a Quick Hitch.  
!
WARNING  
3. Attach lower 3-Point arms to clevises with hitch  
pins (#1) and if required adapter bushings (#12).  
Secure hitch pins with linch pins (#6).  
Do not use a PTO adapter. A PTO adapter will increase strain  
on the tractors PTO shaft resulting in possible damage to  
shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the  
tractors master shield and could cause bodily injury or death.  
4. Connect upper center 3-Point link hitch hole to upper  
hitch with clevis pin (#7) and hairpin cotter (#5).

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.  
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high  
speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety guards is  
strongly recommended when cutting along highways or in  
areas where people may be present.

adjust one or both lower 3-Point lift arms vertically  
until deck is level from left to right. On some tractors,  
only one arm can be adjusted.  
3-Point Leveling & Cutting Height  
There are four primary adjustments that should be made  
prior to actual field operation:  
Cutting Height Adjustment  
!
CAUTION  
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for  
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance, and  
longer blade life. Pliable tape measure, spirit or  
carpenters level, set of wrenches, and protective gloves  
will be needed.  
Avoid direct contact with cutter blades by wearing a pair of  
gloves. Cutter blades have sharp edges and burrs that can  
cause injuries.  
IMPORTANT: The front blade tip should be lower  
than rear blade tip by approximately 1". The cutter is  
subject to continuous material flow under the deck if  
the rear blade is at the same height or lower than the  
front blade causing horsepower loss, grass clumps,  
blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.  
!
WARNING  
Always disengage PTO, put tractor in park or set park brake,  
shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for all  
moving parts to stop before dismounting from tractor.  
1. With gloves on, carefully rotate blades and stump  
jumper until blade tips are in the position shown.  
2. Measure distance from cutting tip of front blade to  
ground surface. This distance is the cutting height.  
3. Using tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control, raise or  
lower 3-Point lift arms until the front blade tip is at the  
desired cutting height.  
4. The 3-Point center link should be loose when deck  
rear is supported by the tailwheel. If not, lengthen 3-  
Point center link until loose. Final adjustment will be  
made later.

the front blade tip is 3 to 4 inches above ground.  
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for  
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance, and  
longer blade life. Pliable tape measure, spirit or  
carpenters level, set of wrenches, and protective gloves  
will be needed:  
NOTE: Lengthen leveling rods (#1 & #2) to lower  
front of cutter and shorten leveling rods (#1 & #2) to  
raise front of cutter.  
!
WARNING  
4. Measure distances the front blade and rear blade tips  
are off the ground. The deck is properly leveled when  
rear blade tip is slightly higher than front blade tip but  
not by more than 1".  
Always disengage PTO, put tractor in park or set park brake,  
shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for all  
moving parts to stop before dismounting from tractor.  
Deck Leveling  
If rear blade tip is too low:  
This adjustment should be made with cutter hooked to  
the tractor that will be used for field operations or to one  
having the same drawbar height and length. Adjust  
leveling rods as described below.  
a. Loosen jam nut (#4) several turns.  
b. Unscrew hex coupler nut (#5) clockwise (direction  
shown by arrow) to raise cutter rear.  
c. Re-tighten jam nut (#4) against coupler nut (#5)  
when height of rear blade tip is acceptable.  
NOTE: The tip of the front blade should be lower than  
the tip of the rear blade. If front and rear blades are at  
the same height or if rear blade is lower than the front  
blade, then the cutter is subject to continuous material  
flow under the deck resulting in loss of horsepower,  
additional blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.  
If rear blade tip is too high:  
a. Loosen jam nut (#4) several turns or more.  
b. Tighten hex coupler nut (#5) counterclockwise  
(opposite direction shown by arrow) to lower cutter  
rear until height of rear blade tip is acceptable.  
c. Re-tighten jam nut (#4) against coupler nut (#5).

WARNING  
Clear area to be cut of debris and other unforeseen removable  
objects before cutting. Mark any potential hazards that cannot  
be removed such as tree stumps, post, rocks, holes, and drop-  
offs with a visible flag.  
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights, SMV  
sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn  
operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply  
with all federal, state, and local laws.  
IMPORTANT: Always disengage tractor PTO before

raising cutter to transport position.  
1. Make sure driveline does not contact tractor or cutter  
when raising cutter to transport position.  
2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave  
enough clearance so cutter does not contact  
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.  
NOTE: Do not cut in wet conditions. Wet material  
will build up on the deck underside creating poor  
discharge, high wear, and additional horsepower.  
3. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with  
a tractor of sufficient size and horse power.  
Periodically disengage PTO, turn off tractor, remove  
key & check for objects wrapped around blade  
spindle. Block deck up before removing objects.  
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way  
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.  
Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts.  
Tighten all loose hardware as indicated in the  
“Torque Values Chart” on page 40.  
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough  
or hilly terrain.  
Blade Engagement & Disengagement  
NOTE: Your cutter is equipped with free swinging  
cutting blades to reduce shock loads when striking  
obstacles. However, it is best to avoid striking  
obstacles to extend cutter and blade life.  
Cutter blades can lock-up against each other during  
start-up and shut-down especially if the tractor’s PTO  
engagement is “INSTANT ON” and “INSTANT OFF.  
Following Blade Engagement and Blade Disengagement  
instructions below will help eliminate blade lock up.  
1. Thoroughly inspect area to be cut for debris and  
unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.  
Blade Engagement  
2. Follow “Blade Engagement” instructions above to  
1. Increase throttle to a speed just enough to get the  
cutter started without stalling tractor while slowly  
engaging PTO drivelines. Use tractor’s PTO soft start  
option if available.  
start cutter blades turning.  
3. Optimum ground speed depends on density of  
material being cut, horsepower rating of tractor, and  
terrain. Always operate tractor at cutter’s full rated  
PTO speed in a gear range that allows the cutter to  
make a smooth cut without lugging tractor down,  
usually between 2 to 5 mph.  
2. Ensure that all power shafts are rotating and that the  
cutter is not vibrating excessively after ramping up to  
PTO speed for at least 3 seconds. If excessive  
vibration continues after 3 seconds at full PTO  
speed, disengage PTO immediately, shut down  
tractor, and remove switch key.  
4. Stop traveling and disengage PTO after the first 50  
feet of cutting. Check cutter levelness and cutting  
height to make certain it is adjusted properly.  
3. Check blades for a lock-up situation. Block cutter  
deck up before working under the unit. Unlock  
blades, remove support blocks, and repeat “Blade  
Engagement” instructions.  
5. Do not engage PTO with 3-Point cutter fully raised.  
6. Periodically disengage PTO, shut down tractor,  
remove key, and check for foreign objects wrapped  
around the blade spindle. Block cutter deck up before  
removing objects.  
Blade Disengagement  
1. Slowly decrease throttle speed until engine idle  
speed is reached and then disengage PTO.  
7. Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts.  
Tighten all loose bolts and nuts as indicated in the  
“Torque Values Chart” on page 40.  
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off  
and remove switch key. Stay on tractor until blades  
have come to a complete stop.

General Operating Instructions  
Unhooking the Rotary Cutter  
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the  
Operator’s Manual, completed Operator’s Checklist,  
properly attached cutter to your tractor, made leveling  
adjustments, and preset your cutting height before  
beginning a running operational safety check on your  
Land Pride Rotary Cutter.  
Unhook Rotary Cutter from tractor as follows:  
1. See “Long Term Storage” on page 33 if cutter is to  
be stored for a long time.  
2. Park on a level solid surface and lower deck to  
ground level or onto support blocks.  
3. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,  
and remove switch key. Stay on tractor until blades  
have come to a complete stop.  
The running operational safety check may now be done.  
It is important that at any time during this safety check  
you detect a malfunction in either the cutter or tractor that  
you immediately shut the tractor off, remove its key, and  
make necessary repairs and/or adjustments before  
continuing on.  
4. Unhook cutter from tractor as follows:  
3-Point Cutter:  
a. Disconnect driveline from tractor. Collapse  
driveline by pushing tractor end of driveline  
towards cutter gearbox.  
Make sure before starting the tractor that the park brake  
is engaged, PTO is disengaged, and cutter is resting on  
the ground. Start tractor and set engine throttle speed at  
a low idle. Raise cutter with tractor’s rear hydraulic lift  
control lever to transport position making sure that the  
driveline does not bind and does not contact the cutter  
frame. Lower cutter to the ground and at a low engine  
speed engage the PTO. If everything is running smoothly  
at a low idle, slowly raise cutter to cutting height checking  
for bind or chatter in the driveline. Lower the cutter to the  
ground and increase the tractor’s engine RPM until it  
reaches the cutter full PTO operating speed of 540 RPM.  
If everything is still running smoothly, once more raise the  
cutter to cutting height to check for driveline bind or  
chatter. Lower the cutter to the ground, return engine to a  
low idle, and disengage PTO. Position adjustable stops  
on the tractor’s hydraulic lift lever or the Pull-Type  
b. Rotate driveline storage hook down and place  
driveline in storage hook.  
c. Unhook 3-Point hitch from tractor and drive tractor  
forward several feet.  
d. Reinstall hitch pins, linch pins, and hair pin cotters  
in cutter hitch for safe keeping.  
Pull-Type Cutter:  
a. Attach parking jack to hitch stob with detent hitch  
pin. Make certain detent hitch pin is fully inserted.  
b. Adjust parking jack up until cutter weight is off  
tractor drawbar.  
c. Disconnect hydraulic hose and loop hose back

hydraulic cylinder rod so the cutter can be consistently  
returned to the same cutting and transport height.  
d. Disconnect driveline from tractor. Collapse  
driveline by pushing tractor end of driveline  
towards cutter gearbox.  
You should now be ready to transport to your cutting site  
at a safe ground speed. On roadways transport in such a  
manner that faster moving vehicles can easily see you  
and pass you safely. Reduce your speed when travelling  
over rough and hilly terrain. Avoid quick or sharp steering  
corrections. Take extra care to ensure that the mower  
doesn’t come into contact with obstacles such as trees,  
buildings, or fences. Use accessory lights and  
e. Rotate driveline storage hook down and place  
driveline in storage hook.  
f. Unhook hitch safety chain from tractor.  
g. Unhook clevis from tractor and drive tractor  
forward several feet.  
appropriate reflective devices to provide adequate  
warning to pedestrians and other vehicle operators when  
traveling on public roads and in the dark of night. Comply  
with all local, state, and federal laws.  
h. Reinstall bolt, washers, lock washer, and nut in  
clevis for safe keeping.  
It is important that you inspect the area where you will be  
cutting and clear it of safety hazards and foreign objects  
either before or after you arrive at the cutting site. Never  
assume the area is clear. Cut only in areas you are  
familiar with and are free of debris and unseen objects.  
Extremely tall grass should be cut twice to detect  
potential hazards. In the event you do strike an object  
stop the cutter and tractor immediately to inspect and  
make necessary repairs to the cutter before resuming  
operation. It really pays to inspect a new area and to  
develop a safe plan before cutting.

Section 3: Operating Instructions  
You will need to maintain 540 RPM PTO speed and 2 to  
5 mph ground speed to produce a clean cut. Make a  
tractor gear and range selection that will enable you to  
maintain these speed combinations. Generally the  
quality of cut is better at lower ground speeds. Dense  
ground cover will create the need to slow down even  
more. In certain conditions tractor tires will roll grass  
down resulting in an uneven cut when the grass fails to  
rebound. Should this happen you may try reversing the  
direction of cut and/or double cut to achieve the desired  
finish. Avoid very low cutting heights especially on  
extremely uneven terrain. Always cut downward on  
slopes and avoid crossing the face of steep slopes. Avoid  
sharp drops and cross diagonally through dips to prevent  
hanging up the tractor and cutter. Slow down in turns.  
Remember to look back often.  
Now that you’re prepared and well briefed you may begin  
cutting. Begin by doing the following:  
Reducing tractor’s engine rpm.  
Make sure cutter is on the ground in cutting position  
and then engage PTO.  
Raise engine rpm to the appropriate 540 PTO speed  
and begin cutting.  
Make wide turns when possible. 3-Point hitch and  
optional Quick Hitch models can be lifted into transport  
position to make tight turns and to reverse direction. Try  
increasing or decreasing ground speed to determine the  
effect on quality of cut. With a little practice you will be  
pleased with what your Land Pride Rotary Cutter can do.  
Whether you are done mowing, need to take a break, or  
just need to make a few adjustments to the cutter,  
remember to always do the following:  
Reduce tractor’s engine rpm and disengage PTO.  
Stop on level ground, set park brake, turn off engine  
and remove switch key.  
Stay on the tractor until the cutter blades have come to  
a complete dead stop.

Maintenance  
Slip-Clutch Protected Drivelines  
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.  
The drive-train is protected from shock loads with a four  
plate slip-clutch. The slip-clutch must be capable of  
slippage during operation. Always do a “Clutch Run-In”  
operation at the beginning of each season and after long  
periods of inactivity to remove any oxidation that may  
have accumulated on the friction surfaces. Repeat  
“Clutch Run-In” instructions below when moisture  
and/or condensation seizes the inner friction plates.  
Check all bolts and pins after using the unit 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.

the metal surface adjacent to it. Refer to the Parts Manual  
for a detailed parts breakdown.  
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.  
Inspection  
Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean  
all parts that do not require replacement.The original  
friction disc thickness is 1/8" (3.2mm) and should be  
replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1mm). If  
clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking, the  
friction discs may be damaged and should be replaced.  
Heat build-up may also affect the yoke joints.

WARNING  
Do not operate cutter with blades that are out-of-balance,  
bent, excessively worn, excessively nicked, or with blade bolts  
that are excessively worn. Such blades can break loose from  
the cutter at high speeds causing serious injury or death.  
Assembly  
Reassemble each friction disc (#4) next to the metal plate  
it was separated from. Install bolts (#3) through end  
plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place springs  
(#2) over bolts (#3) and secure with nuts (#1).  
!
WARNING  
Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade or weld on a blade.  
Do not attempt to modify a blade such as hard surfacing, heat  
treating, cold treating, or by any other method. Always  
replace blades with a new Land Pride blade to assure safety.  
Progressively tighten each spring retainer bolt until  
correct spring height A” dimension is obtained.

Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication  
33138  
IMPORTANT: Replace cutting blades in pairs with  
genuine Land Pride blades only. Replacing single  
blades can result in an out-of-balance condition that  
will contribute to premature bearing wear/breakage  
and/or structural cracks in gearbox and/or deck.  
Always inspect cutting blades before each use. Make  
certain they are properly installed and are in good working  
condition. Replace any blade that is damaged, worn, bent,  
or excessively nicked. Small nicks can be ground out.  
Remove blades and sharpen or replace as follows:  
1. Place tractor gear selector in park and set brakes,  
shut engine off and remove ignition key.  
2. Disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and  
secure cutter deck in the up position with solid  
supports before servicing underside of cutter.  
3. Inspect cutting blades. Make certain they are  
properly installed and are in good working condition.  
Replace any blade that is damaged, worn, bent, or  
excessively nicked. Small nicks can be ground out.

7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 for the other blade.  
8. Both blades should be sharpened at the same angle  
as the original cutting edge and must be replaced or  
re-ground at the same time to maintain proper  
balance in the cutting unit. The following precautions  
should be taken when sharpening blades:  
Cutter Blade Assembly (Counterclockwise Rotation)  
Figure 4-1  
IMPORTANT: Examine blade bolts (#1) and flat  
washers (#2) for excessive wear and replace if worn.  
a. Do not remove more material than necessary.  
b. Do not heat and pound out a cutting edge.  
IMPORTANT: Locknuts can loose their ability to lock  
properly once removed. Always use a new locknut  
when installing blades.  
c. Do not grind blades to a razor edge. Leave a blunt  
cutting edge approximately 1/16" thick.  
d. Always grind cutting edge so end of blade remains  
square to cutting edge and not rounded.  
10. Insert blade bolt (#1) through blade (#6), dish  
pan (#4), and flat washer (#2). Secure blade with a  
new locknut (#3) and torque to 450 ft-lb.  
e. Do not sharpen back side of blade.  
f. Both blades should weigh the same with not more  
than 1 1/2 oz. difference. Unbalanced blades will  
cause excessive vibration which can damage  
gearbox bearings and create structural cracks.  
11. Repeat step 10 for the other blade.  
12. Replace access cover (#5).  
13. If replacing dishpan (#4), nut (#7) on gearbox output  
shaft should be torqued to 450 ft-lbs. minimum and  
cotter pin (#8) installed with both legs bent opposite  
directions around the nut.  
9. Carefully check cutting edges of blades in relation to  
blade carrier rotation to ensure correct blade  
placement. Blade rotation is counterclockwise with  
cutting edge leading. Airfoil (lift) must be oriented  
towards the top of the deck.

WARNING  
Excessive wear on skid shoes can damage side panels, cause  
inadequate operation of cutter, and create a safety hazard.  
Always replace skid shoes at the first sign of wearing thin.  
There are skid shoes mounted on the cutter sides. Check  
both skid shoes for wear and replace if necessary. Order  
only genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride  
dealer.  
1. Remove 3/8" hex whiz nuts (#3), 3/8" plow bolts (#2),  
and skid shoe (#1) as shown.

Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication  
7. Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.  
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for  
a longer cutter life.  
Long Term Storage  
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to  
the cutter when parking it for long periods and when  
parking it at the end of a working season. This will help  
ensure the cutter is ready for field use the next time you  
hook-up to it.  
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 27 when  
disconnecting tractor from cutter.  
Ordering Replacement Parts  
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard beige  
color with black highlights. Equipment in special colors  
may be purchased in Green, Red or Orange. Because of  
the variety of colors available, special attention must be  
given to the part number to prevent ordering the wrong  
replacement part. A suffix number corresponding to one  
of the colors below must be added at the end of Land  
Pride’s part number when ordering a replacement part  
with that color. Parts ordered without a suffix number will  
be supplied in factory standard colors.  
!
DANGER  
Always disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft before  
servicing drive train components and cutter blades. The PTO  
can be engaged if tractor is started causing bodily injury or  
death.  
!
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.  
81 . . . . . . Green  
82 . . . . . . Orange  
83 . . . . . . .Red  
85 . . . . . . .Black  
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with  
part number 555-555C and the existing part is red, then  
add the suffix 83 to the end of the number to make the  
part number read 555-555C83.  
!
CAUTION  
Always store cutter with 3-point hitch pivoted back as far as  
possible. The floating 3-point hitch when not hooked to a  
tractor can fall backwards unexpectedly causing bodily injury.  
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have  
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape  
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then  
wash 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. They are 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.

of plug hole, add recommended gear lube through top  
dipstick hole until oil flows out of side plug hole. Reinstall  
and tighten side oil plug (#2) and vented dipstick (#1).  
IMPORTANT: Your cutter is shipped with a vented  
dipstick packaged in the Operator’s Manual bag and  
should have been installed in the gearbox by your  
Land Pride dealer. Please see your Land Pride dealer  
if vented dipstick was not included.
