A tractor with 3-Point Category lI or lII hitch is required. 
The lower 3-Point arms must be stabilized to prevent 
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks 
or adjustable chains for this purpose. 

1.

Slowly back tractor to the Rotary Cutter while using 
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control lever to align lower 
3-Point arm hitch holes with clevis hitch pin holes.

2.

Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off 
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

3.

Attach lower 3-Point arms to clevises with hitch 
pins (#1) and if required adapter bushings (#12). 
Secure hitch pins with linch pins (#6). 

4.

Connect upper center 3-Point link hitch hole to upper 
hitch with clevis pin (#7) and hairpin cotter (#5).

NOTE:  Driveline installation instructions will follow 
after hooking-up cutter to tractor. This is because 
the distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox 
input shaft can vary from tractor to tractor.

NOTE:  Land Pride’s QH20 Cat. II 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 QH20 Quick Hitch.

NOTE:  Adapter bushings (#13) are used if tractor 
3-Point hitch is Cat. lll. The bushing can also be 
used when using a Quick Hitch.

5.

Return to tractor and slowly and carefully raise and 
lower cutter to ensure drawbar, tires, and other 
equipment on the tractor do not contact cutter frame. 
Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with cutter.

6.

Manually adjust one of the lower lift arms up or down 
to level the Rotary Cutter from left to right.

7.

Manually adjust length of top-center-link to align 
center hitch pin vertically above lower hitch pins. 
Final deck leveling adjustments will be made later. 

8.

The tractor’s lower 3-Point arms should be adjusted 
for lateral float. Please consult your tractor’s manual 
for adjusting instructions.
