8.

Rotate outer coupler shield closed and replace 
existing hand knobs (#14). Hand tighten hand knobs.

A 3-Point Category I or 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.

Locate cutter on a flat level surface.

2.

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 on the cutter.

3.

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

4.

Attach lower arms to clevis plates with hitch pins and 
secure with linch pins.

5.

Connect top center 3-Point link to upper pivot hitch 
with clevis pin and hairpin cotter supplied by the 
customer.

6.

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

7.

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

8.

Manually adjust the length of the top-link to level the 
Rotary Cutter from front to rear. Final deck leveling 
adjustments will be made later. 

9.

The 3-Point lift cylinders on your tractor should be 
adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please consult you 
tractor’s manual for adjusting instructions.

If 3-Point hitch plates won’t stay upright for Quick Hitch 
attachment, a hitch pin or bolt (#1) may be inserted into 
hole “A” to stabilize hitch plates. Be sure to remove hitch 
pin before connecting driveline to the tractor. Hitch pin or 
bolt is supplied by customer.

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.
