WARNING
Excessive wear on skid shoes can damage side panels, cause
inadequate operation of cutter, and create a safety hazard.
Always replace skid shoes at the first sign of wearing thin.
If the accessory skid shoes are mounted on the cutter
side skirts, check them for wear and replace as needed.
Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land
Pride dealer.

3/8" plow bolts (#2), and skid shoes (#1) as shown.
2. Check plow bolts for wear and replaced if necessary.

Long Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the cutter when parking it for long periods and when
parking it at the end of a working season. This will help
ensure the cutter is ready for field use the next time you
hook-up to it.
!
CAUTION
Always store cutter with 3-point hitch pivoted back as far as
possible. The floating 3-point hitch when not hooked to a
tractor can fall backwards unexpectedly causing bodily injury.
!
DANGER
Always disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft before
servicing drive train components and cutter blades. The PTO
can be engaged if tractor is started causing bodily injury or
death.

DANGER
Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of cutter. Never work
under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can
drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines
burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when
power to the hydraulics is shut off.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade mounting hardware for
wear. Replace blades and hardware as needed. See
“Cutter Blade Maintenance”
on page 24.
3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride aerosol
touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate unit. See “Lubrication” on page 28.
7. Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 23 when
disconnecting tractor from cutter.
Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard beige
with black highlights. Equipment may also be purchased
in Green, Red or Orange. Special attention must be given
to the part number to prevent ordering the wrong color. A
suffix number corresponding to one of the colors below
must be added at the end of the part number. Parts
ordered without the suffix number will be supplied in
factory standard colors.
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is red, then
add the suffix 83 to the end of the number to make the
part number read 555-555C83.
