All boom rotary cutters are not created equal. The Land
Pride Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter has a unique name for a
reason. Designed to “reach out” and cut along roadsides,
over guard rails, down ditchbanks and along side ponds,
the parallel arm cutter has features not found on your
typical boom cutter.
First of all, it has a constant attitude! When the two cylinders
that operate the two arm sections are activated, the attitude
of the deck does not change; thanks to the parallel arm
design. Lift the cutter head up, in or out to negotiate an
obstacle, and your cutter deck position does not change; set
the cutter head down at the same attitude as it was prior to
the obstacle. This makes your work efficient!
The hydraulic breakaway feature of the parallel arm cutter
is also not found on your standard boom cutter. When an
immovable obstacle is hit with the cutter deck, instead of
swinging the tractor around in a dangerous whip, the cutter
deck and arms pivot to the rear, allowing you time to stop,
or at least help the cutter deck pass the obstacle. You simply
restore the cutter deck to its original position with the help
of a hydraulic cylinder. You can also swing the cutter deck
rearward enabling you to mow into a tight corner, again
putting it back to its original setting with the hydraulic cylinder.
The cutter deck is operated by a hydraulic motor, which is
run by a pump powered by the PTO of the tractor. A flow
control valve is standard equipment to protect the hydraulic
system of the cutter from the high GPM many of the newer
tractors now utilize. The 35 gallon oil reservoir keeps the unit
running cool, and the in-line filter continually cleans the oil
each time it is returned to the reservoir.
The optional electronic package enables each of the arm
and deck hydraulic cylinders to be activated by a toggle
switch. You get instant response from the cylinder, which can
be very difficult with the tractor’s hydraulic controls.
