Operator Protective Shield
An optional operator protective shield is available for use
on tractors not equipped with cabs or other protective
shielding. This shield is a "universal" type and is suitable
for attachment to a conventional Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) that is already attached to the tractor. It
is constructed of an extruded aluminum frame and
glazed with 1/4" clear lexan polycarbonate.
Mounting hardware will permit attachment to ROPS
having cross-section dimensions of 2" x 4", 2" x 5", and
2" x 6" or 2 1/2" x 4", 2 1/2" x 5", and 2 1/2" x 6". Other
sizes may require longer mounting bolts and/or custom
flatbars. Installation requires that 4 mounting holes be
drilled in the frame of the shield. No modification is made
to the ROPS.

Protective Shield Installation
Refer to Figure 5-2:
1.
Measure width and thickness of the tractor ROPS bar
to determine if the clamping hardware supplied will
be adequate.
2. Compare parts list and quantities with parts
received. Report any missing or damaged items to
your dealer.
NOTE: To determine the best location for the
protective shield, the cutter should be connected to
the tractor, parallel arms should be fully extended
and the deck should be approximately horizontally
level.

3. Carefully remove the shield from the shipping carton
and temporarily position it on the inside surface of the
ROPS bar. Locate shield forward/back and up/down
to provide the best overall coverage for the tractor
operator. Use a spirit level to level the shield before
marking. Mark frame location with a pencil on each
side of the ROPS bar; and mark vertical ROPS
location on the shield frame.
4. Position protective shield (#5) on a flat work surface.
Locate one of the flatbars (#4) next to the pencil
marks to determine which set of holes will clear the
vertical marks for the ROPS location. Mark hole
location and drill two 1/4" diameter holes through the
shield frame. Similarly mark and drill two additional
holes for the lower clamp location.
5. Attach shield to the inside surface of the ROPS bar
with 1/4" x 4" cap screw (#6), 1/4" flat washer (#3),
1/4" lock washer (#2), and 1/4" nut (#6).
Bolt-on Weight Hangers
13239
Refer to Figure 5-3 on page 43:
A right-hand overturning torque load is present on the
tractor when parallel arms are fully extended. Auxiliary
weights should be added to the left rear tractor wheel to
help offset this overturning load. In addition, 100 lb.
suitcase type weights can be added to Land Pride's
weight hanger. The weight hanger is attached to the left
side of the hydraulic reservoir.
One of the six optional "Bolt-on Weight Hangers" must
be installed for operation. See "Bolt-on Weight
Hangers" on page 42 for detailed descriptions.

IMPORTANT: Adding weights to the reservoir can
lighten the tractor's front end. Front tractor weights
and/or ballast to tires may be required to offset cutter
and auxiliary weights. Consult your tractor's manual
to determine if additional ballast is needed.
IMPORTANT: Suitcase type weights illustrated with
weight hangers are provided by the customer. Make
sure the suitcase weights are the same brand name
and match the weight hanger. Not all suitcase
weights of the same brand name match Land
Pride weight hangers designed for that brand.
