Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Hitch
A 3-Point Category II or Category III 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
The number of tractor hydraulic duplex outlets required is
dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up.
Independent Control:
One duplex outlet is required to operate the breakaway
cylinder. A PTO driven pump on the unit pumps hydraulic
fluid from the reservoir to the parallel arm cylinders and
deck pivot cylinder. The cylinders are solenoid activated
with momentary push button switches at the control stick.
Solenoid Control:
Two duplex outlets are required. One duplex outlet is
required to operate the breakaway cylinder. The second
duplex outlet operates the parallel arm cylinders and
deck pivot cylinder. The cylinders are solenoid activated
with momentary push button switches at the control stick.
The second duplex outlet must be capable of continuous
hydraulic fluid flow.
Tractor Control:
Four duplex outlets are required to operate the parallel
arm cylinders, deck pivot cylinder and breakaway
cylinder. Each cylinder is connected to a duplex outlet
and activated with tractor control levers. Each duplex
outlet must be capable of infinite variable flow control
(turtle/rabbit control) with center detent "OFF" levers. If
gauge wheels are included, "ARM 2" and "Deck Pivot"
levers must be capable of being placed in float position.
PTO Speed
The RCP cutters requires 540 rpm Power Take-Off (PTO)
speed and the RCPM cutter requires 1000 rpm PTO
speed to operate the hydraulic pump(s) & motor.
Required tractor horsepower to operate the pump(s) and
motor is approximately 30 HP.
Protective Equipment Requirements
Refer to Figure 1-1:
The tractor MUST be equipped with protective
equipment designed to shield the operator from thrown
objects and tractor rollover. An enclosed tractor cab with
a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may qualify.
See the tractor's manual to see if it qualifies.
Tractors with only a ROPS must have a protective shield
added to the right hand fender. A universal operator
protective shield is available from Land Pride. Refer to
page 36 for additional information and installation.
It is also recommended that a protective shield or screen
be added to the right hand side of the tractor engine
cowling and radiator. This will help protect the tractor's
finish and radiator against thrown objects.

Dealer Preparations
This cutter has been assembled at the factory. However,
some preparations will be necessary to attach the cutter
to customer's tractor.
•
Make certain the intended tractor conforms to the
"Tractor Requirements" on page 12.
•
Review and check off Preparation Checklist below
before proceeding.
805-079C - Upper Hitch Pin Cat II (1" dia. x 3 3/8" usable)
805-196C - Upper Hitch Pin Cat III (1 1/4" dia. x 3 3/8" usable)
RCP2660, RCPM2660, RCP3060 and RCPM3060 Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter 316-111M
Preparation Checklist
Upper hitch pin is not Included with unit. Determine
customer's tractor hitch type. (Cat II or Cat III). Buy
required upper hitch pin locally or order a Land Pride
hitch pin if customer's tractor does not included the pin.
See Land Pride's upper hitch pin part numbers below.
Before operating this unit, 80-90 EP Gear Lube must
be added to the gearbox & motor as indicated in the
"Maintenance & Lubrication" section for "Speed
Increaser" on page 52 of this manual.
35 Gallons of Hydraulic Fluid is needed for the
hydraulic reservoir. Use any high quality mineral based
hydraulic fluid such as Mobil Fluid 424 with a viscosity
rating of 10W-30.
Additional hydraulic fluid (approx 2 gallons) for the
tractor reservoir.
Miscellaneous assembly tools: hammer, tape measure,
assortment of wrenches and sockets, and spirit level.
Quick disconnect adaptors that match tractor's duplex
outlets. Quantity required depends on option selected:
(4) If equipped with solenoid control box.
(8) If not equipped with hose hook-up.
Possible need for forklift or hoist capable of lifting 2500
lbs.
Auxiliary tractor weights (depending on tractor size).
See "Tractor Requirements" on page 12
A minimum of two people available during assembly.
If a pin, bolt or other part has been removed, and you
are unsure where it is used, use the Parts Manual to
identify it. Be sure the part gets 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.
Safety decals are legible and undamaged from
shipment.
PTO driveline and loose parts bag/box shipped with
the cutter are present.
