Table of Contents

The deck motor may interfere with the right rear tractor

tire when deck is folded for transporting. This is

especially true if the outside face of the tire is more than

47" away from the tractor center. Tractors equipped with

dual wheels may need the outside right rear wheel

removed.

The RCP(M)3060 cutter requires a dual wheel on the left

hand side or wheel weights equal to the weight of a dual

wheel.

Tractor Requirements

Horsepower

Tractor horsepower must be capable of controlling the

Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter under all operating

conditions. Smaller tractors must not be used.

RCP2660 & RCPM2660

Horsepower Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-150 HP

RCP3060 & RCPM3060

Horsepower Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .95-175 HP

Weight

Tractor weight must be sufficient to control the Parallel

Arm Rotary Cutter under all operating conditions.

Tractors not meeting the absolute minimum weight listed

below must not be used.

A right hand overturning torque load is present on the

tractor when parallel arms are fully extended. Tractors

will need auxiliary counterbalance weights added if the

tractor’s total weight is less than the basic minimum

weight listed below.

RCP2660 & RCPM2660

Tractor absolute minimum weight . . . . . . . . 8,000 lbs.

Tractor basic minimum weight. . . . . . . . . . 8,500 lbs.

RCP3060 & RCPM3060

Tractor absolute minimum weight . . . . . . . 12,000 lbs.

Tractor basic minimum weight. . . . . . . . . 13,500 lbs.

It is best to add auxiliary weights to the left rear tractor

wheel. In addition, up to eight 100 lb. suitcase type

weights can be added to the weight bracket on the

hydraulic reservoir. However, adding weights to the

reservoir can lighten the tractor’s front end.

Wheel Base

Refer to Figure 1-1 & Figure 1-2:

Rear wheel base must meet minimum requirements

when measured from outside face to outside face of rear

tractor tires. Smaller wheel bases must not be used.

RCP2660 & RCPM2660

Rear Wheel Base . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 74" minimum

RCP3060 & RCPM3060

Rear Wheel Base . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 95" minimum

IMPORTANT: Front tractor weights and/or ballast to

tires may be required to offset weight of cutter and

auxiliary weights. Consult your tractor manual to

determine if additional ballast is needed.

IMPORTANT: Extended parallel arms will pull the

tractor’s front to the right. When necessary, add

weight to the tractor front to stabilize it. Consult your

tractor’s manual for allowable added weights.

IMPORTANT: The tractor’s right rear wheel should

be pressurized to the manufactures highest

recommended air pressure.
