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.
