Deck Cutting Height
Deck Leveling & Cutting Height
Refer to Figure 3-1:
There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made
prior to actual field operation:
!
CAUTION
Avoid direct contact with cutter blades by wearing a pair of
gloves. Cutter blades have sharp edges and burrs that can
cause injuries.
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance, and
longer blade life. The following tools will be needed:
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.
• Pliable tape measure
• Spirit or carpenters level
• Set of wrenches and/or socket wrench set
• Protective gloves
1. With gloves on, carefully rotate each blade tip to the
2. Measure distance from cutting tip of front blade to
ground surface. This distance is the cutting height.
!
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.
3. Using tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control, raise or
lower the 3-point arms until the front blade tip is at the
desired cutting height.
The top center link should be loose when deck rear is
supported by the tailwheel. If not, lengthen center
link until loose. Final adjustment will be made later.
4.
Deck Leveling From Left to Right
Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 17:
1. Locate tractor with Rotary Cutter on a flat, level
surface.
5. Measure distance from cutting tip of rear blade to
ground. This distance should be slightly higher than
the front blade but not more than 1" higher.
2. Use tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control lever to lower
cutter until tailwheel makes contact with ground
surface.
6. If rear blade is lower than the front blade or is more
than 1" higher than the front blade, then the tailwheel
height must be adjusted. If needed, see “Tailwheel
Height Adjustment” instructions below.
3. Place a level on the cutter deck as shown. Manually
adjust one or both lower 3-point lift arms until deck is
level from left to right. On some tractors, only one arm
can be adjusted vertically.

NOTE: Customer may adjust tractor center 3-point
link to his or her preference. Lengthening tractor
center 3-point link allows more movement while
going over raised surfaces. Shortening the link
allows more movement while crossing over ditches.
Also, shortening center link allows the cutter to be
carried higher while traveling. Never lengthen center
link to where the cutter is carried too low.

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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
3. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with
a tractor of sufficient size and horsepower.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
NOTE: Do not cut in wet conditions. Wet material
will build up on the deck underside creating poor
discharge, high wear, and additional horsepower.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
Periodically disengage PTO, turn off tractor, remove
key & check for objects wrapped around blade
spindle. Block deck up before removing objects.
Blade Engagement & Disengagement
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.
Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts.

You should now be ready to transport to your cutting site
Unhooking the Rotary Cutter
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
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.
Unhook Rotary Cutter from the tractor as follows:
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.
4. Pull back on yoke collar and hold while pulling
driveline yoke from tractor PTO shaft. Store driveline
off the ground to keep universal joints out of the dirt.
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.
5. Unhook 3-point hitch from tractor and drive tractor
forward several feet.
6. Reinstall hitch pins, linchpins, and hairpin cotters in
cutter hitch for safe keeping.
7. Collapse driveline by pushing tractor end of driveline
towards cutter gearbox.
8. Rotate driveline storage hook down and place
driveline in storage hook.
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.
General Operating Instructions
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the
Operator’s Manual, completed Operators 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.
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.
Make sure before starting the tractor that the park brake
is engaged, PTO is disengaged, and cutter is resting on
the ground. Start the tractor and set the engine throttle
speed at a low idle. Raise the cutter with the 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 the cutter to the ground and at a
low engine speed engage the PTO. If everything is
running smoothly at a low idle, slowly raise the 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 the engine to a low idle, and disengage the PTO.
Position the adjustable stops on the tractor’s hydraulic lift
lever so the cutter can be consistently returned to the
same cutting and transport height.
Now that you’re prepared and well briefed you may begin
cutting. Begin mowing by doing the following:
• Reducing tractor’s engine RPM and lower cutter to the
preferred cutting height.
• Engage PTO and then raise engine RPM to the
appropriate PTO speed. Begin cutting.
Make wide turns when possible. Three-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 you and 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 reduce tractor’s engine RPM,
disengage PTO, stop on level ground, set park brake,
turn off engine, remove switch key, and stay on the tractor
until the cutter blades have come to a complete dead
stop.

treating, cold treating, or by any other method. Always
replace blades with a new Land Pride blade to assure safety.
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.
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.
Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.
!
CAUTION
Do not alter Land Pride equipment or replace parts with other
brands. Doing so can cause equipment to perform improperly
and may lead to breakage that can cause bodily injury.
Replace parts only with genuine Land Pride parts.
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 when
sharpening.
Remove cutting blades and sharpen or replace as
follows:
!
CAUTION
Buildup of debris around moving parts and gearboxes is a fire
hazard. Keep rotating parts and gearboxes free from debris to
avoid serious injury and property damage.

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.
a. Do not remove more material than necessary.
b. Do not heat and pound out a cutting edge.
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.
!
WARNING
e. Do not sharpen back side of blade.
Keep blade bolt access hole covered at all times except when
servicing cutter blades. Make sure driveline is disconnected
from the tractor before servicing cutter blades.
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.
!
WARNING
8. 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.
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.

Driveline Protection
IMPORTANT: Examine blade bolts (#1) and flat
The drivetrain 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 when moisture and/or
condensation seizes the inner friction plates.

IMPORTANT: Locknuts can loose their ability to lock
properly once removed. Always use a new locknut
when installing blades.
9. Insert blade bolt (#1) through cutting blade (#6), dish
pan (#4), and flat washer (#2). Secure blade with a
new locknut (#5) and torque to 450 ft-lbs.
10. Replace access cover (#5).

WARNING
Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut off
tractor, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor to make
adjustments.
11. If replacing dishpan (#4), castle nut (#7) on gearbox
output shaft should be torqued to 450 ft-lbs. minimum
and secured with cotter pin (#9) with both legs bent
opposite directions around the nut.

4. Inspect clutch and ensure that the scribed markings
made on the clutch plates have changed position.
Slippage has not occurred if any two marks on the
friction disc and plate are still aligned. A clutch that
has not slipped must be disassembled to separate
the friction disc plates. See “Clutch Assembly and
5. Tighten each of the 8 spring retainer nuts on the
clutch housing exactly 2 revolutions to restore the
clutch to the original setting pressure.
6. The clutch should be checked during the first hour of

Refer to Figure 5-3:
measure and record length (“A”) of each clutch
spring before disassembling clutch.
A = Measured length of each spring
before disassembling slip clutch.
See IMPORTANT NOTE above before disassembling
clutch. After measuring and recording each spring length,
remove spring retainer nuts (#1), springs (#2), and bolts
(#3). Each friction disc (#4) must then be separated from
the metal surface adjacent to it. Refer to the Parts Manual
for a detailed parts breakdown.

disassembling slip clutch.
Inspection
24600
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.

a longer cutter life.
disconnecting tractor from cutter.
!
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.
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 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
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.
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.
