4. Connect top center link to the upper hitch with top

link pin (supplied by customer).

3-Point hydraulic control up and down to check for

clearance between the tires, frame, drawbar etc.

Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the Soil

Pulverizer.

6. Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or

down to level the Soil Pulverizer from left to right.

7. Manually adjust the length of the top-link to level the

Soil Pulverizer from front to rear.

Transporting

CAUTION!

When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use

accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to

operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state, and

local laws.

1. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when

turning; and leave enough clearance so the Soil

Pulverizer does not contact obstacles such as

buildings, trees, or fences.

2. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting

from one area to another.

3. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way

that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

4. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor

to a lower gear.

Adding Weight

Up to 400 lbs of weight may be applied by installing

bricks or blocks in frame for additional weight if required

by ground conditions.

General Operating Instructions

DANGER!

Operator to wear Seat Belt at all times while operating

implement.

WARNING!

Speeds in excess of 5 MPH can damage frame & or shanks

Before putting your Land Pride Pulverizer into service

you must thoroughly review the Operator’s Manual. Once

you have read the Operator’s Manual and properly

mounted the pulverizer on your tractor, you should be

ready to head for the work site. You should have already

removed any sizeable sticks, rocks, or extraneous debris

from this area. Do not attempt to rip up concrete, black

top, asphalt, or large rocks.

With tractor stopped, lower 3-point of tractor down until

all weight is off the tractor. Pull ahead slowly to get the

shanks to start digging. Scarifying and pulverizing action

will commence as soon as the rear roller touches the

ground and begins to roll. Increase ground speed once

shanks and roller have entered the ground. Do not

exceed 5 MPH and make straight passes only. When you

reach the end of a pass, raise tractor’s 3-point up before

turning. Trying to turn with unit in the ground will damage

the scarifier shanks and can damage the pulverizer

roller.

If ground conditions are extremely hard and the scarifier

shanks are not achieving adequate penetration, you may

need to add additional weight to the top frame.

Up to 400 lbs can be added to this area.

If the pulverizing roller is bouncing and not staying in

uniform contact with the ground, the down pressure of

the roller can be adjusted by the spring tensioners

located at both ends of the pulverizer.

If you are getting a build-up on the rear roller, pulverizing

operations should be discontinued until the ground is dry

enough to work. If the ground needs more cultivation

than can be accomplished in one pass, continue to make

additional passes until the desired finish is achieved.

Owners of the Model 30 Series Land Pride Pulverizers

can attach an additional optional rear mounted pulverizer

roller to achieve a more professional finish in less time.

Once you are finished using your pulverizer, park it on a

dry and level surface, clean it, and make it ready for the

next use. With a little practice you will be able to achieve

professional results from your Land Pride Pulverizer.

IMPORTANT: Do Not turn tractor with pulverizer

shanks in the ground. Damage to shanks will occur.
