Hitch Types
The cutter is factory supplied with the standard clevis
hitch. Other optional hitches are available. They include
Land Pride Performance hitch, bar-tite hitch, ball hitch,
and pintle hitch. See your nearest Land Pride dealer
should you want to change your hitch set-up.
Standard Clevis Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-2:
Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to slot
in the upper clevis plate, hole size in the lower clevis
plate, and drawbar hole size. Customer to supply hitch
pin and hitch pin keeper.
Land Pride Performance Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-3:
The LP Performance Hitch is a drawbar friendly,
self-leveling hitch that pivots up and down, and side-to-
side. It is held upright with customer supplied hitch pin to
allow single-person hook-up.
Bar-Tite Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-4:
The bar-tite hitch functions similar to LP Performance
hitch except it clamps directly to the drawbar. The bar-tite
hitch is sandwiched between hardened steel plates to
eliminate drawbar wear. It has a bushing in the tongue to
extend hitch life. Bushing and hitch swivel are greasable.
Ball Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-5:
Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to
swivel movement over the 2 5/16" tractor mounted ball.
Pintle Hitch (Optional)
Refer to Figure 1-6:
Cutter rotation about the tractor drawbar is limited to
movement about the pintle connection. The pintle hitch is
ideal for a drawbar hammer strap.
NOTE: The 5/8" bolt (#1) and spacer (#2) may be
removed for more flexibility of hitch. If bolt and
spacer are removed, an equal number of washers
should be added above the drawbar and below the
drawbar to remove gap between drawbar and clevis
hitch. Adding washers when bolt and spacer are
removed will reduce drawbar and hitch wear.
