Features
| Features | Benefits |
| Surpassed rugged industry standards |
All Land Pride Cutters have been designed and tested and meet rigorous voluntary testing procedures specified by ANSI. |
| Factory assembled | Saves customer set-up time and money. |
| Fully welded deck | Fully welded deck adds strength. |
| 250 HP Divider gearbox 210 HP center & wing gearboxes |
A rugged heavy built gearboxes capable of handling heavy cutting applications. |
| Gearbox seal protection | Gearbox bottom seal protection for longer bearing life. |
| Input driveline: Cat. 6 CV or Cat. 5 Conventional |
Holds up to shock loads and harsh mowing conditions. Fits wide range of tractors including high horsepower tractors. |
| Star profile drivelines | Star profile spreads load out to many points on the shaft. More apt to resist bending and twisting under shock loads and harsh mowing conditions. |
| Easy greasable drivelines | Drivelines have access holes for greasing the U-joints and to grease the inner profiles. |
| 4 Plate slip-clutch | Protects drivelines and gearboxes by slipping clutches rather than twisting the driveline when impacts are encountered. |
| High blade tip speed | 540 rpm: Center: 17,377 fpm, Wings: 17,329 fpm 1000 rpm: Center: 18,165 fpm, Wings: 15,013 fpm Allows for a clean cut of material and even distribution. |
| 6" Blade overlap | Generous blade overlap eliminates skipping, especially in turns. |
| High cutting capacity | Can cut brushy areas with saplings up to 3". |
| Left wing rotates counterclockwise | Better discharge of material. Picks up tractor tracks. |
| 10 1/2" Deck height | Handles heavy cutting, which reduces balling-up of cut material under the deck. |
| 3/16" Stump jumper backed with a 1" thick mounting bar |
Heavy round stump jumper with bottom gearbox seal protector. Can hold up to tough conditions. |
| 3/16" Deck thickness | Heavy enough to handle conditions but not weigh unit down. |
| Self-leveling pull-type hitch | Reduces drawbar wear by keeping hitch level while going through ditches. |
| LED Signal lights | LED lights are bright, long lasting, and resistant to vibration, unlike incandescent counterparts. |
| Hinged wing sections | Allow cutter to follow terrain. Ideal for rough ground where hillsides, ditches, and hollows can cause uneven cutting. |
| 1" Solid hinge rods | Larger diameter hinge rod gives greater strength to the cutter from front to rear, and in the hinge area itself. |
| Wing transport locks | Safety feature. Holds wing sections up in case of hydraulic pressure loss. |
| Enclosed front to rear dual leveling rods |
Dual leveling rods enable the cutter to pull equally on the rear axle during travel over rough terrain. Many competitors only use one leveling rod. |
| Drain holes in wheel rims | Allows water to drain from wheels mounted on the folded-up wings. Helps prevent paint deterioration and rusting to the wheel rims. |
| 5" Square rear axle tubing | Heavy axle to handle harsh conditions. |
| Spring-cushioned center-axle | Protects unit from bumps and ground shock. |
| Replaceable wheel spindles | Wheel spindles can be replaced when damaged without replacing the entire axle. Simply remove two bolts to replace damaged spindle. |
| Double swivel hitch | Great for uneven terrain, reduces drawbar wear. |
| Bar-tite hitch | Ideal for extreme conditions. Clamps tight to drawbar eliminating drawbar wear. |
| Wheel options | Laminated tires: Eliminates flats. Airplane tires without foam filling: Give better cushion while transporting. Airplane tires with foam filling: Give better cushion while transporting and can’t go flat. |
| Deck rings (optional) | 1/2" x 3" full welded deck ring keeps blades from damaging the deck. |
| Shredder Blades (Optional) | Ideal for cutting residue into smaller pieces. Replaces blade and stump jumper configuration. |
| Baffles (Accessory) | Maintains shredded material in each section of the cutter for a consistent discharge from the rear of each deck. |
