Tractor Requirements

Horsepower

The cutter is designed to be used on tractors with 50 to
250 hp.

Hitch

Refer to Figure 1-1:
The cutter uses a drawbar type hitch hook-up. Maintain
proper distance, dimension "A", between center of
drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor PTO shaft.
•
"A" = 14" for 540 rpm
•
"A" = 16" for 1000 rpm
•
"B" = 8" for 540 rpm and 1000 rpm
•
"C" = 18" to 21" for 540 rpm and 1000 rpm
IMPORTANT: PTO damage may occur if distance
"A" is not properly maintained.

Hydraulic Outlets

The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets is
dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up. The
tractor will require two duplex outlets for the 10' and 15'
series. Three duplex outlets are required for the 15'
series if the wings are raised and lowered independently.
•
Two duplex outlets are required for the 10' and 15'
series.
•
Three duplex outlets are required if the wings on the 15'
series are raised and lowered independently.
Control valve kits are available from your local Land
Pride dealer if the tractor is not equipped with the correct
number of duplex outlets.

PTO Speed

RCB6010 & RCB6015 (540 RPM) and RCMB6010 & RCMB6015 (1000 RPM) Rotary Cutters 318-263M
Either a 540 rpm or 1000 rpm tractor Power Take-Off
(PTO) is required. The RC5015 and RC6015 cutters are
designed for 540 rpm and the RCM5015 and RCM6015
are designed for 1000 rpm.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate a 540 RPM
driveline cutter with a 1000 RPM PTO tractor and do
not operate a 1000 RPM driveline cutter with a 540
RPM PTO tractor. Many tractors provide both 540
and 1000 RPM PTO modes. Check your tractor's
manual to determine its capabilities.

Before You Start

Read and understand the operator's manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and set-up of your cutter.
It is best to go through the Pre-Assembly Checklist
before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly
task and make the job safer by having all the needed
parts and equipment readily at hand.
This cutter has been partially assembled at the factory.
However, there is still some assembly required before
the cutter is ready for operation.
Dealer Assembly & Preparations
Pre-Assembly Checklist
Check
Fasteners and pins that were shipped
with the cutter.
NOTE: All hardware from the factory
has been installed in the location where
it will be used. If a part or fastener is
temporarily removed for assembly
reasons, remember where it goes.Keep
the parts separated.
Be sure the parts get used in the correct
location. By double checking while you
assemble, you will lessen the chance of
using a bolt incorrectly that may be
needed later.
All grease fittings are in place and
lubricated.
Safety labels are correctly located and
legible. Replace if damaged.
Red and amber reflectors are correctly
located and visible when the cutter is in
the transport position.
Inflate tires to specified PSI air
pressure. Tighten wheel bolts to
specified torque.
Have a minimum of 2 people at hand
while assembling the cutter.
Have a fork lift or loader along with
chains and safety stands that are sized
for the job ready for the assembly task.
