DANGER
A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a
tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and
implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate
hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly
behind tractor or near implement.
A 3-Point Category I or Category II 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.
1. Slowly back tractor up to Rotary Cutter while using
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align lower
3-Point arm holes with clevis lug holes “C”.
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. Attach lower arms to clevises with hitch pins (#9) and
secure with hairpin cotters (#6) as follows:
a. Cat. l 3-Point Hitch: Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in
hole “A”.
b. Cat. ll 3-Point Hitch and Cat. l & ll Quick Hitch:
Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in hole “B”.
c. See also Figure 1-6 & Figure 1-7 for illustration of
hitch pin positions in clevis.
NOTE: Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
