Hitch Options
Shown below are five different hitch options available for
your Rotary Cutter. Visit your nearest Land Pride dealer
to inquire about or purchase a new hitch option.
Constant Level Clevis Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-3:
A clevis leveling rod attached to the underside of the
clevis keeps the clevis parallel with the tractor drawbar at
all cutting heights. Cutter rotation about the tractor
drawbar is limited to slots located in the upper and lower
clevis plates and drawbar hole size.
LP Performance Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-4:
The LP Performance Hitch
TM
is a drawbar friendly, self-
leveling hitch that pivots up and down, and side-to-side. It
is held upright with a customer supplied hitch pin to allow
single-person hook up.
Bar-Tite Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-5:
The Bar-Tite Hitch functions similar to the LP
Performance Hitch except it clamps directly to the
drawbar. The Bar-Tite Hitch is sandwiched between
hardened steel plates to eliminate drawbar wear.
Ball Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-6:
The Ball Hitch allows the cutter to swivel about a 2 5/16"
trailer ball mounted to the tractor drawbar. Customer
supplies ball.
Constant Level Pintle Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-7:
The pintle hitch is ideal for a drawbar hammer strap. The
hitch allows the cutter to swivel about the pintle
connection. A hitch leveling rod attached to the underside
of the hitch keeps the pintle parallel with the tractor
drawbar at all cutting heights.
