Definitions
product owners.
NOTE: A special point of information that the
operator must be aware of before continuing.
This Flail Mower has been designed with care and built
by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper
assembly, maintenance and safe operating practices will
help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
IMPORTANT: A special point of information related
to its preceding topic. Land Pride’s intention is that
this information should be read and noted before
continuing.
Application
The medium duty FM2060 and FM2072 Series Flail
Mowers are designed and built by to provide excellent
cutting performance on gently sloping or slightly
contoured grassy right-of ways, roadsides, ditches,
pastures, nurseries, and smaller fields of light row crop
debris, stalks, and residual agricultural trash. The 60"
and 72" cutting widths and 3/4" to 4" cutting height and
ability to cut weeds and brush up to 1" in diameter makes
these flail mowers well suited for nursery and agricultural
applications where grass, brush, pruning’s, small
saplings, and cotton residue are present. Either model
equipped with fine cut knives will perform extremely well
cutting material up to 1" in diameter or provide a very
respectable quality of cut for grooming yards, municipal
parks, medians, or right of ways.
Owner Assistance
The Warranty Registration card should be filled out by
the dealer at the time of purchase. This information is
necessary to provide you with quality customer service.
If customer service or repair parts are required contact a
Land Pride dealer. A dealer has trained personnel, repair
parts and equipment needed to service the mower.
The parts on your mower have been specially designed
and should only be replaced with genuine Land Pride
parts. Therefore, should your mower require
replacement parts go to your Land Pride Dealer.
Serial Number Plate
Both models offer a Cat. 1 three-point hitch for tractors
not to exceed 55 PTO horsepower. The three point
hitches on both models offer centered mounting or offset
capability 6" to the right making them even more
desirable for cutting in and around trees with extremely
low hanging branches. Both models also offer a Cat. 4
and 540rpm shielded driveline. The FM2060 and
FM2072 Flail Mowers, with their horizontal cutting rotor
design, also provide for greatly reduced potential of
launching projectiles out from under the mower making
them an excellent choice for state and municipal mowing
applications.
For prompt service always use the serial number and
model number when ordering parts from your Land Pride
dealer. Be sure to include your serial and model numbers
of your serial number plate.

roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving
vehicles may pass safely.
10. Mower knives will cut better at a faster blade speed
than at reduced throttle.
9. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.
11. After mowing the first 50 feet, stop and check to see
that the mower is adjusted properly.
12. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while
!
CAUTION
mower is on the ground.
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or during the
day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all Federal, State,
and local laws.
13. Do not engage PTO with mower in the fully raised
position. Do not engage PTO at full throttle.
Operating Instructions
Now that you have familiarized yourself with the
Operator’s Manual, completed the Operators Checklist,
properly attached your flail mower to your tractor, made
the right offset or center adjustments, and preset your
cutting height, you’re almost ready to begin using your
Land Pride FM2060 or FM2072 Flail Mower.
Mowing Instructions
1. Clear the area to be mowed of objects and debris
that might be picked up and thrown by the mower
blades.
2. Grass is best cut when it is dry. Mowing wet grass
can cause plugging resulting in grass clumps behind
the mower.
It’s now time to do a running operational safety check. If
at any time during this safety check you detect a
malfunction in either the mower or tractor shut the tractor
off immediately, remove the key, and make necessary
repairs or adjustments before continuing on.
3. Grass should be mowed frequently as shorter
clippings deteriorate faster.
4. If mowing extremely tall grass, it is best to raise
cutting height and mow the area, then lower cutting
height and mow a second time at the desired height.
Make sure the tractor’s park brake is engaged, the
tractor’s PTO is disengaged, and the mower is resting on
the ground. Start the tractor and then back the tractor
throttle off till the engine is at low idle. With the tractor’s
rear hydraulic lift control lever, raise the mower to
transport position making sure that the PTO shaft is not
in a bind and does not come in contact with the mower
frame. Lower the unit to cutting position and, with the
tractor still at low idle, engage the PTO. If everything is
running smoothly at this point increase the engine rpm
until the tractors engine reaches full PTO operating
speed which will be 540 rpm. Slowly raise the cutter to
transport height to make sure the driveline does not bind
or chatter. Then return the engine to low idle, disengage
PTO, and position the adjustable stops on the tractor’s
hydraulic lift lever control console so the cutter can be
consistently returned to the same cutting and transport
height.
!
CAUTION
When mowing in sandy soil areas, wear may occur to the
mower knives from sand erosion. Frequent inspection should
be made and knives replaced if damaged.
Operating Instructions
Proper servicing and adjustments are the key to the long
life of any machine. With careful and systematic
inspection of the mower, costly maintenance, time and
repair can be avoided.
Before beginning to mow, the following inspection should
be performed:

Land Pride
Section 2: Operating Instructions
You should now be ready to move to the cutting site to
begin mowing. You should have inspected and should
only be cutting in an area you are familiar with which is
relatively free of debris and unseen objects. Never
assume an area is clear and extremely tall grass or brush
should be cut twice to detect potential hazards. In the
event you do strike an object, stop the tractor and cutter
immediately to inspect the rotor and make any necessary
repairs before resuming operation. It pays to inspect a
new area and to develop a plan before you cut.
Normal mowing speed will be between 2-5 mph and you
will need to maintain tractor PTO speed to produce a
clean cut so make a tractor gear and range selection that
will maintain this combination. Generally the quality of
cut or degree of debris pulverization will be better at
lower ground speeds and cutting denser ground cover or
heavier brush may create the need to slow down. 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
mower. Slow down in turns and avoid sharp turns if at all
possible. Remember to look back often. Always be
aware and extremely cautious when there are people,
pets, livestock, and valuable property in your immediate
operating vicinity.
Now you’re prepared and well briefed so lets begin
cutting. Reduce the tractor’s engine rpm, make sure the
mower is on the ground and in cutting position, engage
the PTO, raise the engine rpm to the appropriate PTO
speed, and begin mowing. Operators must plan ahead
and choose a cutting route that allows safe turns. 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 Flail mower
can do.
Dense growth will require more horsepower and will
cause you to slow down especially if you are
encountering material up to 1" in diameter. The fine cut
knives on either unit are much better suited for a finer
quality of cut in grass cutting applications and in no case
should fine cut blades be used for cutting material
greater than 1’ in diameter.
When you are done mowing, need to take a break, or just
need to make a few adjustments to the mower,
remember to always do the following. Reduce the
tractor’s engine rpm, disengage the PTO, stop on level
ground, set the park brake, turn off the engine, and
remove the key. Land Pride flail mowers are very user
friendly and easy to operate. With a little practice you
should be operating your Land Pride Flail Mower like an
expert in no time at all.

The two position hitch for offsetting the mower allows closer cutting along buildings, fences
or roadsides.
Gearbox HP rating
25 - 55 HP to fit a large array of tractors
3/4” – 4” Cutting height
Gearbox Warranty
Low cutting height allows for scalping in grasses such as Bermuda prior to overseeding.
One year on all components
1” Cutting capacity
4 1/4” Rotor diameter
Reverse rotor rotation
Can cut small saplings.
Large rotor diameter protects against obstructions.
Reverse rotation brings the cut grass up and over the rotor for a cleaner discharge.
Cat. 4 driveline with over-
running clutch
Upon disengaging the PTO, the over-running clutch allows the driveline to quit turning, while
the clutch yoke, gearbox and rotor shaft slow down by their own inertia.
3 - “B” Section belts
“B” Section belts fit snug in the sheaves, and the multiple belts ensure positive transfer of
power.
3 Fine cut knives per hanger
High knife tip speed
Helps eliminate the peak and valley cut left with many fine cut blade arrangements.
Knife tip speed of 8,705 fpm for cleaner cut.
Adjustable rear panel
Rear panel adjusts to allow stronger discharge of material. Also aids in cleaning underside
of deck.
Baffles on the top inside of the
deck
Keeps the cut material from clumping together, ensuring an even distribution of clippings.
Height adjusting roller
Rear height adjusting roller with greaseable bearings and tapered ends to prevent gouging
during turns.
Scrapers
Standard scrapers on rear height adjusting roller.
