downward on slopes and avoid crossing the face of steep
slopes. Avoid sharp drops and cross diagonally through
dips to prevent hanging up the tractor and cutter. Slow
down in turns and avoid sharp turns if at all possible.
Remember to look back often.
Now that you’re prepared and well briefed you may begin
cutting. Begin cutting by doing the following:
•
Reducing the tractor’s engine rpm.
•
Make sure the wings are on the ground and the cutter is
in cutting position.
•
Engage the PTO.
•
Raise the engine rpm to the appropriate PTO speed.
•
Begin cutting.
Make wide turns when possible. Operators of pull-type
models must plan ahead and choose a cutting pattern
that allows for wider turns. Try increasing or decreasing
ground speed to determine the effect on quality of cut.
With a little practice you will be pleased with what you
and your Land Pride Rotary Cutter can do.
Whether you are done mowing, need to take a break, or
just need to make a few adjustments to the cutter,
remember to always do the following:
•
Reduce the tractor’s engine rpm.
•
Disengage the PTO.
•
Stop on level ground.
•
Set the park brake.
•
Turn off the engine and remove the key.
•
Stay on the tractor until the cutter blades have come to
a complete stop.
