Land Pride RCF2760 and RCF2772 Manuale Utente

12/15/15

There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made 
prior to actual field operation:

Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for 
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance, and 
longer blade life. The following tools will be needed:

Pliable tape measure

Spirit or carpenters level

Set of wrenches and/or socket wrench set

Protective gloves

Always disengage PTO, put tractor in park or set park brake, 
shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for all 
moving parts to stop before dismounting from tractor. 

Refer to Figure 3-2 on page 17:
1.

Locate tractor with Rotary Cutter on a flat, level 
surface.

2.

Use tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control lever to lower 
cutter until tailwheel makes contact with ground 
surface.

3.

Place a level on the cutter deck as shown. Manually 
adjust one or both lower 3-point lift arms until deck is 
level from left to right. On some tractors, only one arm 
can be adjusted vertically.

1.

With gloves on, carefully rotate each blade tip to the 
position shown in Figure 3-1.

2.

Measure distance from cutting tip of front blade to 
ground surface. This distance is the cutting height.

3.

Using tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control, raise or 
lower the 3-point arms until the front blade tip is at the 
desired cutting height.

4.

The top center link should be loose when deck rear is 
supported by the tailwheel. If not, lengthen center 
link until loose. Final adjustment will be made later.

5.

Measure distance from cutting tip of rear blade to 
ground. This distance should be slightly higher than 
the front blade but not more than 1" higher.

6.

If rear blade is lower than the front blade or is more 
than 1" higher than the front blade, then the tailwheel 
height must be adjusted. If needed, see “Tailwheel 
Height Adjustment” instructions below.

7.

Repeat steps 1 through 6 until tailwheel and 3-point 
arms are adjusted to the desired cutting height.

8.

Set tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control stop once the 
tailwheel and 3-point arms are adjusted properly.

IMPORTANT: The front blade tip should be lower 
than rear blade tip by approximately 1". The cutter is 
subject to continuous material flow under the deck if 
the rear blade is at the same height or lower than the 
front blade causing horsepower loss, grass clumps, 
blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.
