SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Federal law requires you to explain the safety and operating instructions furnished with this machine to
all employees before they are allowed to operate the machine. These must be repeated to the em-
ployees at the beginning of each season. Be sure to observe and follow the instructions for the safety
of anyone operating or near the machine.
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
You can do your part in improving safety by observing the following suggestions. Insist that all people
working with you or for you abide by them.
1. Do not stand between the tractor and implement when attaching or detaching implement unless
both are not moving.
2. Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic
lines and hoses are not damaged.
3. Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and have enough force to penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to search for
supected leaks. If injured by fluid, see a doctor at once.
4. Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it is in motion.
5. Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or machine.
6. Always use transport locks while transporting the machine.
7. Do not transport at speeds over 20 mph.
8. Avoid sudden stops or turns when transporting because the weight of machine may cause
operator to lose control of tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine. Do not allow
tractor drawbar to swing when in transport.
9. Use caution when towing behind articulated steering tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the
machine to shift sideways.
10. When transporting the machine on a road or highway, use adequate warning symbols, reflec-
tors, lights, and slow moving vehicle signs as required. Use a safety chain.
11. Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from tractor.
12. Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling hydraulic hoses from tractor. On most
tractors this can be done by operating valves after engine is stopped.
13. Securely block machine when working on or under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure
or inadvertent lowering by another person.
14. Lower machine to ground when not in use.
15. Springs of shank assemblies are under load and should not be disassembled without use of
service tool and following procedure outlined in maintenance section of this manual. Spring is
loaded and improper removal of bolts could result in serious injury.

Maximum road speed is 20 MPH under good conditions. Do not tow the machine
at a speed where the operator loses control of his vehicle.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to comply with all applicable laws regarding slow moving
vehicle signs, warning lights, reflectors, and safety chains.
Safety Chain (Optional)
Use of a safety chain is recommended if the machine is towed on a public road or highway. Chain
should be rated at 20,200 pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE S338 specifications. Such a
chain, along with hardware to attach to the Landcommander is available as Kit #1K789.
See Figure 4 for installation. Slack in chain should be only enough to permit turning. Distance from
hitch pin to attachment point or intermediate support should not exceed 9".
Level Adjustment
Make sure the tractor and Landcommander are on a level surface and extend or retract the drawbar
brace rod assembly until the machine is parallel (front to rear) to the ground surface. Only minor
adjustments will be necessary in the field.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Transport Lock Adjustment
With the transport lock lever in the operating position, observe the transport locks while SLOWLY
raising and lowering the machine.
Both locks must raise and clear the cylinder and hoses while the cylinder is being retracted. While
raising, the locks must contact the rods just as the rod reaches full stroke.
With the lever in the transport position, the locks should not raise off of the cylinder rod as the cylinder
retracts approximately 1/4” till the transport lock contacts the cylinder. Adjustments can be made to the
individual cylinder links or the the long link connecting the locks to the lever.
See Figure 19 on page 24.
To prepare machine for transport: (See Figure 3.)
1. Raise machine fully on transport wheels.
2. Remove clevis pin from the lever located at the front of the machine.
3. Use control rod handle to lower transport locks onto rod of the hydraulic cylinders.
4. Lock the lever in the rear posiiton with the the clevis pin and hairpin.
To prepare for field operation:
1. Raise machine slightly to loosen transport lock and clevis pin.
2. Remove clevis pin from the lever.
3. Use handle to raise transport lock from rod of the hydraulic cylinder.
4. Place clevis pin back in the lever and scure with the hairpin

Depth Control of Shanks
A remote depth control is included in the hydraulic circuit to limit the depth of the shanks when the unit
is lowered into the ground, see Figure 5. This depth control is actuated by a striker plate which will
push in the poppet valve as the machine is lowered thereby changing the working depth of the shanks.
Turn the adjust handle at the front of the machine. Clockwise rotation will increase the operating depth
of the Landcommander; counterclockwise rotation will decrease the operating depth. Each turn of the
adjust handle changes operating depth by approximately 1/2”. It is best to make depth adjust-
ments with the machine raiser.
CAUTION: Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Relieve pressure in
hydraulic lines before uncoupling hydraulic hoses from tractor. On most
tractors this can be done by operating valves after engine is stopped. Before
applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and that
lines and hoses are not damaged.
Hydraulic fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of
cardboard or a piece of wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected leaks.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop
if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

Depth Control of Disc Gangs
After the desired depth of the shanks have been set, changes to the working depth of the disc gangs
can be made. Your Landcommander is equipped with a Hydraulic Disc Control which is used for the
depth adjustment of the disc gangs.
To set the depth of the disc gangs, extend the hydraulic cylinders which will lower the disc gangs.
Place the desired combination of stroke control segments on the cylinder rod and then retract the
cylinder. Failure to install stroke control segments will allow the disc gangs to float, since oil will be able
to flow through the hydraulic circuit and move to the cylinder with the least resistance. Also, failure to
install stroke control segments may damage the rod if the cylinder is extended and extreme loads on
the disc gangs could cause the rod to buckle. The cylinders are intended for ease and faster adjust-
ment, not complete depth contol of the disc gang. Extra stroke control segments can be stored on the
loop on the disc beam.
Pitch Adjustment of Disc Gangs
Setting the disc gang at a higher degree of pitch will throw more ground out from the front gangs and
throw more ground in from the rear gangs. The disc gang pitch angle can be set at 10, 15, and 20
degrees by changing the mounting location of the disc gang beam in one of the three mounting holes
in the main frame. To change the pitch, loosen the 1-8NC x 9 1/2" bolt near the center of the unit,
remove the bolt near the outside of the frame and then reinstall bolt after sliding disc beam to desired
location. Tighten bolts when change is completed. Two wrenches are stored on the drawbar for
making this adjustment.
Changes in disc gang pitch may also require changes in disc gang depth in order to achieve the
desired finished look and control the amount of ground thrown back by the rear gangs.
Scraper Adjustment
To properly adjust scrapers, loosen the 1/2” carriage
bolts that attach the scraper to the square tube, and
slide the scraper along the tube. Do not tighten
scrapers tight against disc blades, this will cause
rapid wear.
All the scrapers can be adjusted by loosening the
bolts that attach the tube to the scraper brackets and
sliding the bar in the direction needed and then
retightening the bolts.

Working Speed
Optimum results are obtained by operating the Landcommander at a speed of 5-6 MPH.
Turning
Because of the sideways anchoring effect of the disc gangs, the machine should always be raised
when turning at the end of the field. This will relieve stress on the disc gangs, shanks, and machine
frame as well as eliminate large soil piles resulting from forcing the discs sideways.

Tires
All machines are shipped with W10L-16" wheels which require 12.5L-16, 12 ply rib implement tires.
Inflate tires to 50 psi.
NOTE: USE OF SMALLER OR LIGHTER TIRES WILL CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE
FAILURE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
Lubrication
•Grease the rockshaft zerk fittings daily. Each of the center frame rockshaft bearings has two
fittings, an upper and a lower.
•Disc gang bearings, drawbar, leveling stand, and adjust linkage should be greased after every 20
hours of use and greased if the machine is not to be used for some time.
•Disc rockshaft bearings have a zerk fitting on each casting half and should be greased daily if disc
working depth is changed frequently.
•Wheel bearings should be repacked annually.
•When the machine is not to be used for some time, exposed portions of the cylinder rods should be
cleaned and covered with a thick coat of grease. This will prevent corrosion which will damage seals.
•Check the hydraulic lines and cylinders for leaks before starting operation each day.
Page 11
•Be sure to maintain
tightness of top bolts
in front shank brackets
to prevent unnecessary
wearing of the bolt holes.
MAINTENANCE
After a few hours use, check entire machine and tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Daily or periodic
checks should be made thereafter. See the chart on page 10b for a guide for tightening torques.
