These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use A Safety Chain
A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor drawbar.
Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the towed
implement.
Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
Always hitch the implement to the
machine towing it. Do not use the
safety chain to tow the implement.
Transport Safely
Comply with state and local laws.
Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity. Secure
equipment towed on a trailer with
tie downs and chains.
Sudden braking can cause a towed
trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if towed trailer is not
equipped with brakes.
Avoid contact with any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
Always drive with load on end of
loader arms low to the ground.
Always drive straight up and down
steep inclines with heavy end of a
tractor with loader attachment on
the “uphill” side.
Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
Maximum transport speed for an
attached equipment is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
attached equipment:
20 mph when weight of attached
equipment is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the equipment.
10 mph when weight of attached
equipment exceeds weight of
machine towing equipment but
not more than double the weight.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the vehicle towing the load.
Tire Safety
Tire changing
can be
dangerous
and must be
performed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
Always properly match the wheel
size to the properly sized tire.
Always maintain correct tire
pressure. Do not inflate tires
above recommended pressures
shown in the Operator’s Manual.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to
one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
Securely support the implement
when changing a wheel.
When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Make sure wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand procedure before doing
work. Refer to the Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
Work on a level surface in a clean
dry area that is well-lit.
Lower implement to the ground and
follow all shutdown procedures
before leaving the operator’s seat to
perform maintenance.
Do not work under any hydraulically
supported equipment. It can settle,
suddenly leak down, or be lowered
accidentally. If it is necessary to
work under the equipment,
securely support it with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
Use properly grounded electrical
outlets and tools.
Use correct tools and equipment for
the job that are in good condition.
Allow equipment to cool before
working on it.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding
on implement.
Inspect all parts. Make certain
parts are in good condition &
installed properly.
Replace parts on this implement
with genuine Land Pride parts only.
Do not alter this implement in a way
which will adversely affect its
performance.
Do not grease or oil implement

Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
Always make sure any material and
waste products from the repair and
maintenance of the implement are
properly collected and disposed.
Remove all tools and unused parts
from equipment before operation.
Do not weld or torch on galvanized
metal as it will release toxic fumes.

Important Safety Information
3/30/20 3
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use Seat Belt and ROPS
Land Pride recommends the use
of a CAB or roll-over-protective-
structures (ROPS) and seat belt
in almost all power machines.
Combination of a CAB or ROPS
and seat belt will reduce the risk
of serious injury or death if the
power machine should be upset.
If ROPS is in the locked-up
position, fasten seat belt snugly
and securely to help protect
against serious injury or death
from falling and machine overturn.
Keep Riders Off
Machinery
Never carry riders or use tractor
to lift or transport individuals.
There is not a safe place for a
person to ride.
Riders obstruct operator’s view
and interfere with the control of
the power machine.
Riders can be struck by objects or
thrown from the equipment.
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts.
Keep a first aid kit and fire
extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for
doctor, ambulance, hospital, and
fire department near phone.
911
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
Slow moving tractors, and
self-propelled equipment can
create a hazard when driven on
public roads. They are difficult to
see, especially at night. Use the
Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign
when on public roads.
Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.
Avoid High Pressure
Fluids
Escaping fluid
under pressure can
penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
Relieve all residual pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic
lines or performing work on the
hydraulic system.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid
connections are properly
tightened/torqued and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying
pressure to the system.
Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS,
to check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
DO NOT DELAY. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor familiar with
this type of injury immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin or
eyes must be treated within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
Wear Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)
Wear protective clothing and
equipment appropriate for the job
such as safety shoes, safety,
glasses, hard hat, dust mask,
and ear plugs.
Clothing should fit snug without
fringes and pull strings to avoid
entanglement with moving parts.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause hearing impairment or
hearing loss. Wear suitable
hearing protection such as
earmuffs or earplugs.
Operating a machine safely
requires the operator’s full
attention. Avoid wearing
headphones while operating
equipment.

Important Safety Information

Handle
Chemicals Properly
Protective clothing should be
worn.
Handle all chemicals with care.
Follow instructions on container
label.
Chemicals can be dangerous.
Improper use can seriously injure
persons, animals, plants, soil, and
property.
Inhaling smoke from any type of
chemical fire is a serious health
hazard.
Store or dispose of unused
chemicals as specified by the
chemical manufacturer.
Dig Safe - Avoid
Underground Utilities
USA: Call 811
CAN: digsafecanada.ca
Always contact your local utility
companies (electrical, telephone,
gas, water, sewer, and others)
before digging so that they may
mark the location of any
underground services in the area.
Be sure to ask how close you can
work to the marks they positioned.
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Avoid crystalline Silica
(quartz) Dust
Because crystalline silica is a basic
component of sand and granite,
many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline
silica. Trenching, sawing, and boring
of material containing crystalline
silica can produce dust containing
crystalline silica particles. This dust
can cause serious injury to the
lungs (silicosis).
There are guidelines which should
be followed if crystalline silica
(quartz) is present in the dust.
Be aware of and follow OSHA
(or other local, State, or Federal)
guidelines for exposure to airborne
crystalline silica.
Know the work operations where
exposure to crystalline silica may
occur.
Participate in air monitoring or
training programs offered by the
employer.
Be aware of and use optional
equipment controls such as water
sprays, local exhaust ventilation,
and enclosed cabs with positive
pressure air conditioning if the
machine has such equipment.
Otherwise respirators shall be worn.
Where respirators are required, wear
a respirator approved for protection
against crystalline silica containing
dust. Do not alter respirator in any
way. Workers who use tight-fitting
respirators can not have beards/
mustaches which interfere with the
respirator seal to the face.
If possible, change into disposable
or washable work clothes at the
work site; shower and change into
clean clothing before leaving the
work site.
Do not eat, drink, use tobacco
products, or apply cosmetics in
areas where there is dust containing
crystalline silica.
Store food, drink, and personal
belongings away from the work
area.
Wash hands and face before eating,
drinking, smoking, or applying
cosmetics after leaving the exposure
area.

DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly
behind the power machine or near the implement.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
A 3-Point Category I is required. The lower 3-Point arms
of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to prevent side-to-
side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or
adjustable chains for this purpose.
1. Locate on a flat and level concrete surface.
2. Slowly back tractor up to the Scarifier while using the
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align the lower
hitch arms ball swivels with the hitch lugs on the
Scarifier.
3. Without chaining 3-point lift height, shut tractor down
according to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on
page 8.
4. Attach lower arms to the hitch pins and secure with
linchpins. (Linchpins supplied by customer)
5. Connect top center link to the upper hitch using
customer supplied clevis pin and linchpin. If required,
start tractor and slowly raise 3-Point hitch about 1 - 2"
(2-5 cm) to align center link with Scarifier center hitch
pin hole.
6. Ensure that lower hitch arms are blocked to prevent
excessive side movement.
7. Return to the tractor and slowly operate the controls
up and down to check for clearance between
Scarifier and tractor tires, frame and drawbar.
8. Shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” on page 8.
9. Move or remove the drawbar if it interferes with the
Scarifier.
10. Manually adjust one of the two Lower lift arms up or
down to level the Scarifier from left to right.
11. Manually adjust the length of the top center link to
level the Scarifier from front to rear.
Unhook Scarifier
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Scarifiers, without a rake or rear blade attached, can tip over
while unhooking from a tractor. Secure Scarifier with bracing
before unhooking from the unit.
1. See “Long-Term Storage” on page 14 when parking
the Scarifier for long periods.
1. Park on a level, solid surface.
2. Lower Scarifier until teeth are resting on level ground
or until its main beam is resting on solid supports.
3. Shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” on page 8.
4. Stabilize Scarifier with bracing before unhooking
tractor’s 3-Point arms. Make sure bracing is secure
and will not slip while unhooking.

Introduction
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the Scarifier. Therefore, it is absolutely
essential that no one operates the Scarifier unless they
are age 16 or older and have read, fully understood, and
are totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure
the operator has paid particular attention to:
•Important Safety Information, page 1
•Section 1: Assembly & Set-Up, page 9
•Section 2: Operating, page 11
•Section 3: Adjustments, page 13
General Safety Information
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Do not allow anyone near the tractor or implement while
operating. Stop operation if bystanders are too close. They
can be hit by flying projectiles, become entangled in the
equipment, or ran over.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Allow only persons to operate this implement who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been
properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and
who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result
from the inability to read, understand, and follow
instructions provided in this manual.
•Operate only power machines equipped with a certified
Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep
folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when
appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat
belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious
injury or death from falling and machine overturn.
•Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can
obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be
pinched by moving components, become entangled in
rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall
off and be run over, etc.
•Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica
particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis). Because crystalline silica is a basic component
of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching,
sawing, and boring of material containing crystalline silica
can produce dust containing crystalline silica.
•Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor
and/or implement can rollover. Consult your tractor’s
manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of
traveling across.
•Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
•Do not use implement as a man lift, work platform or as a
wagon to carry objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use.
•Do not use implement to lift objects; to pull objects such as
fence posts, stumps, etc; or to push objects. The unit is not
designed or guarded for these uses.
Tractor & Scarifier Inspection
Make the following inspections after attaching the
Scarifier to a tractor. See “Tractor Hook-Up” on page 10.
1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in
good working condition.
2. Carefully raise and lower the implement to ensure
that the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the
tractor do not contact the frame.
3. Check initially and periodically for loose bolts and
pins. See “Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt
Sizes” on page 17.
Transporting
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Reduce ground speed when turning and leave enough
clearance to avoid making contact with obstacles such as
buildings, trees, fences, etc. Making contact can result in
equipment damage and cause serious injury or death.
•Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel
at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with
attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.
•When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
1. When raising the Scarifier to transport position, be
sure that the equipment does not make contact with
the tractor and tractor drawbar. Move or remove
drawbar if it interferes with the Scarifier.
2. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when
turning; and, leave enough clearance so that the
Scarifier does not contact obstacles such as
buildings, trees, or fences.
IMPORTANT: The slow moving vehicle sign should
not be used when transporting equipment on a truck
or trailer exceeding speeds of 25 mph (40 km/h).
Cover or remove the sign when required.

3. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. When traveling on
roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving
vehicles may pass you safely.
4. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.
General Operating Instructions
Before using your Land Pride Scarifier, it is very
important that you read the Operator’s Manual. The
SF2566 and SF2577 Scarifiers are designed and built by
Land Pride for piggyback attachment and simultaneous
use of the Land Pride 15 and 25 Series Landscape Rakes
or 15 and 25 Series Rear Blades. This dual capability
makes it very important that you understand how to
properly adjust your Scarifier shanks for proper
simultaneous use with either a rake or a blade. This
information is found in your Operator’s Manual under
“Shank Settings” on page 13.
Scarifier Used Alone
It is not absolutely necessary that another attachment be
used in unison with the Land Pride Scarifier. Scarifying
alone is usually done to loosen the soil profile for planting
of trees or to increase soil percolation in order to
eliminate standing water problems.
When using the Scarifier alone, you should be able to rip
and loosen soil to the depth you can sink the shank tips
and still maintain forward pulling momentum. The more
compacted the soil, the more horsepower it will take to
get the job done. In any case, you will want to use a lower
gear selection and you may need to make more than one
pass. Progressive lengthening of the shanks and multiple
passes may be required to achieve the maximum depth.
Scarifier Used With a Landscape Rake
Using your Scarifier in tandem with a landscape rake is a
good combination for removing 1" to 4" size rocks that
have become embedded in the topsoil.
Set the rake angle to move the loosened rocks to the
desired side. Set the Scarifier shank tips to an
appropriate depth below the bottom of the rake teeth. See
“Shank Settings” on page 13.
As you travel forward loosening the ground, the rake
should separate the rocks and roll them off to the side. If
the soil is breaking into clumps that are too large, raise
the Scarifier shanks and continue.
Scarifier Used with a Rear Blade
Using a rear blade in tandem with a Scarifier is a
combination tool for totally renovating or modifying the
soil profile.
When you want to change the grade of a certain area, set
the rear blade at the appropriate angle and set the shank
tips to your choice of working depth below the blade. See
“Shank Settings” on page 13.
As you travel forward loosening the soil, the rear blade
will redistribute the dirt to the side you have chosen with
your blade angle setting. If the soil is breaking into
clumps larger than you want, raise the shank tips until
you achieve the desired working consistency.
Final Comments
A little practice and experience working with the different
attachment combinations and adjustments that are
possible with your Land Pride Scarifier should make you
highly effective in a very short amount of time.
See Section Ordering Replacement Parts on page 14
and “Section 6: Features & Benefits” on page 16 for
additional information and performance enhancing
options.

Shank Settings
It is very important to understand how to properly adjust
the Scarifier shanks when working this unit simultaneous
with either the LR15 and LR25 Series Landscape Rake
or RB15 and RB25 Series Rear Blade.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Make adjustments to the implement after it has been properly
attached to a tractor and secured with solid non-concrete
supports in the up position. Never work around or under
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop
equipment instantly if controls are actuated or if hydraulic
lines burst even when power to hydraulics is shut off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Always keep your body extremities out from under the
shanks while adjusting them. It is possible for the shanks to
fall causing injury to your feet and/or legs.
•Keep clear of the shank slots while adjusting shank height.
Shanks can pinch body parts in the slots during adjustments.
Refer to Figure 3-1:
1. Shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” on page 8.
2. Remove hairpins (#1) and shank lock pins (#2).
3. Adjust each shank (#3) up or down to the desired
hole location. See Shank Settings Table below for
distances above and below auxiliary equipment.

Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
The parts on your Scarifier have been specially designed
and should only be replaced with genuine Land Pride
parts. Do not alter the Scarifier in a way which will
adversely affect its performance.
After several hours of use and on a regular basis
thereafter check all bolts and pins to be sure they are
tight. Replace worn, damaged, or missing parts. Replace
any worn, damaged, or illegible safety alert labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the
implement back into service.
•Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
Shank Tips
Refer to Figure 4-1:
Shank tips are removable by heating them in the dimpled
area on both sides and knocking them off with a blunt
punch. New shank tips need to be dimpled with a punch
after they are installed. Use Land Pride shank tips only.

Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the implement when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the Scarifier. Scrape off compacted
dirt and then wash the surface thoroughly with a
garden hose.
2. Check teeth for wear and replace if necessary.
3. Inspect Scarifier for loose, damaged, or worn parts.
Adjust and tighten loose parts or replace if needed.
4. Clean dirt, oil, and grease from areas where paint
has been worn, chipped, or scratched. Prime bare
metal surfaces after cleaning and repaint to prevent
rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride aerosol touch-up
paint. They are also available in touch-up bottles with
brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT, or
GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Apply a light coat of oil or grease may be applied to
the teeth to minimize oxidation.
7. Follow unhooking instructions when disconnecting
Scarifier from tractor. Refer to “Unhook Scarifier” on
the left-hand side of this page.
•Store Scarifier in a clean, dry place. Inside storage
will reduce maintenance and make for a longer
Scarifier life.
•Lay unit down on the ground or ensure that the
main frame is stable by using auxiliary supports
such as posts planted in the ground to prevent the
possibility of the unit tipping over.
Section Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement is also available in
Orange.
When ordering an optional color, the suffix number
corresponding to the color must be added at the end of
the part number. Parts ordered without the suffix number
will be supplied in factory standard colors.
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is orange,
then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
the part number read 555-555C82.
