Tractor Requirements
Horsepower
Tractor rating should be between 90 - 180 horsepower.
Tractors outside this range must not be used.
Weight
Tractor weight must be capable of controlling 3-Way Rear
Blade under all operating conditions. An underweight
tractor is difficult to steer. Do not use tractors that are too
light. See warning Note Below.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
3-Point Hitch Assembly
A 3-Point Category ll or lII hitch is required. The lower
3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
Hydraulic Outlets
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. 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 leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
may result. DO NOT DELAY.
The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets at the
tractor is dependent upon how the 3-Way Rear Blade is
set-up.
•
No outlets are required if 3-Way Rear Blade is
set-up with manual links and ratchet jacks only.
•
One to three duplex outlets are required if 3-Way Rear
Blade is set-up with any one or more of the following
hydraulic cylinders; Offset Cylinder, Tilt Cylinder, and
Angle Cylinder. Each cylinder will require a duplex
outlet at the tractor.
•
A fourth duplex outlet is required if a gauge wheel is
purchased with a hydraulic cylinder.
A Selector Valve Kit may be purchased through your local
Land Pride dealer if your tractor does not have the
required number of duplex outlets. The selector valve
provides a way to operate 2 hydraulic cylinders through
one duplex outlet at the tractor. See "Hydraulic Selector
Valve" on page 14 for Kit Part No. and assembly
instructions.
