Land Pride dealer. A dealer has trained personnel, repair
parts and equipment needed to service the disc mower.
The parts on your disc mower have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine Land
Pride parts. Therefore, should your disc mower require
replacement parts go to your Land Pride Dealer.

el number when ordering parts from your Land Pride deal-
er. Be sure to include your serial and model numbers in
correspondence also. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of
your serial number plate.

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Disc 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.
Application
The Land Pride Disc Mowers are designed and built to cut
hay, grass, and other cultivated forage crops on farms,
ranches, set-aside acres, and vast right-of-ways. They
are adapted for 540 rpm three-point hitch Category 2
offset mounting and are Quick-Hitch adaptable. They are
compatible with 35 hp to 45 hp tractors equipped with live
or independent PTO’s. The DM3506 has 6 discs and a 96"
cutting width and the DM3507 has 7 discs a 112" cutting
width.
Land Pride Disc Mowers will typically cut faster than
traditional sickle bar mowers and are designed to deliver
good cutting performance even in thick, tangled, and wet
grass conditions. Fire Ant hills and Gopher mounds, that
may tend to clog traditional Sickle-bar designs, will have
far less impact on our Rotary Cutter Bar design. Standard
replaceable rock guards provide cutter bar protection in
stony conditions and will greatly extend cutter bar life. A
standard break-away latch will release, allowing the cutter
bar to swing back, if an obstacle is hit.
Land Pride Disc Mowers are well suited for use in
agricultural regions where humidity and moisture
conditions are typically higher and the potential for crop
entanglement and tough ground conditions are present.
See “Features and Benefits”, “Section 5” for additional
information.
