Shorten Driveline Length
Refer to Figure 1-10:
Be sure to first check driveline collapsible length as
instructed above. If required, shorten driveline as follows:
1.
Un-hook driveline from tractor PTO shaft and pull
outer and inner drivelines apart.
2.
Reattach outer driveline to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on
inner and outer drivelines to be sure universal joints
are properly secured.
3.
Hold inner and outer drivelines parallel to each other:
a. Measure 16" (“B” dimension) back from outer
driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at
this location on the inner driveline shield.
b. Measure 16" (“B” dimension) back from the inner
driveline universal joint shield and make a mark at
this location on the outer driveline shield.
4.
Remove driveline from tractor and splitter gearbox.
5.
Measure from end of inner shield to scribed mark
(“X” dimension). Cut off inner shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the inner shaft (“X1” dimension).
6.
Measure from end of outer shield to scribed mark
(“Y” dimension). Cut off outer shield at the mark. Cut
same amount off the outer shaft (“Y1” dimension).
7.
Remove all burrs and cuttings.
8.
Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble driveline.
9.
Attach driveline to splitter gearbox input shaft and
tractor PTO shaft. Refer to “Driveline Installation”
on page 17 for detailed instructions.

Hydraulic Hook-up
The required number of duplex outlets at the tractor is
dependent upon how the cutter is set-up.
The standard cutter is equipped with three hydraulic
cylinders with one in the center for lifting the cutter and
one on each wing for folding the wings simultaneously.
All three cylinders are set-up for single action
(one-way) operation.
Each duplex outlet on your tractor can perform only one
operation. One outlet is needed for lifting the cutter and
one for lifting the wings simultaneously. A third outlet is
required if the wings are lifted independently. This will
also require replumbing the hydraulics to the wing
cylinders.
Your Land Pride dealer can help you determine the best
configuration that will match your needs and your tractor
capabilities. Optional control valve kits are available if the
tractor does not have the required number of duplex
outlets. For additional information, see Hydraulic Outlets
on page 11.

DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a
few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
Refer to Figure 1-8 on page 16:
1.
Route cylinder hoses (#7) through hose support loop
and connect to tractor remote outlets. If the tractor
has a float option on one of the outlets, connect wing
lift hydraulic hose to that outlet and set tractor control
lever for the wing cylinder in float position.
2.
Check driveline for adequate clearance under all
ranges of cutter height. With driveline shaft attached
to the tractor, slowly raise and lower cutter to its
upper and lower limits while observing clearances
between hitch and driveline. Adjust tractor drawbar
height and/or length if driveline interferes. See
Figure 1-1 on page 11 for drawbar dimensions.
3.
Cycle hydraulic system by raising and lowering
center deck cylinder and wing fold cylinders. It may
be necessary to purge the hydraulic system of
trapped air if operation is sluggish.
