Section 2: Operating Procedures  
Section 2: Operating Procedures  
Transporting  
Operating Instructions  
1. Operate with 540 rpm PTO tractor.  
2. DO NOT engage PTO at full throttle.  
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS disengage PTO before  
raising the powered rake to transport position.  
3. Raking should not be done in wet conditions as soil  
will stick between the bars on the roller and reduce  
the digging ability of the powered rake.  
3. When raising the powered rake to the transport  
position, be sure that powershaft does not contact  
tractor or powered rake.  
4. DO NOT make sharp turns or attempt to back up  
4. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when  
turning; and, leave enough clearance so the  
powered rake does not contact obstacles such as  
buildings, trees or fences.  
while powered rake is in the ground.  
5. DO NOT engage PTO with machine in the fully raised  
position.  
6. DO NOT drop the 3 point hitch. Lower the rock rake  
5. 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.  
slowly to the ground.  
7. After raking the first 50 feet, stop and check to see  
that the powered rake is adjusted properly.  
8. The powered rake must be level front to rear and  
side to side for proper performance. See “Setting  
Depth & Leveling” on page 13 to level the powered  
rake.  
6. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor  
to a lower gear.  
!
CAUTION  
9. Operating depth will depend on conditions but  
normally will be just skimming the surface to 1" deep.  
See “Setting Depth & Leveling” on page 13 to set  
the operating depth. Operating too shallow will allow  
rocks and trash to pass under the roller while  
operating too deep will cause dirt to flow over the  
material control blade or too much dirt will be carried  
out the end into the windrow.  
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the  
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to  
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and  
local laws.  
Operating Checklist  
1. Check chain tension. Refer to “Drive Chain  
Adjustment” on page 14.  
10. Ground speed should be between 3 and 5 mph for  
normal conditions. Under extremely rocky conditions  
or when moving a large windrow ground speed may  
have to be reduced for satisfactory performance. In  
general the slower the ground speed the better job  
the powered rake does of separating the dirt from the  
rocks. If the ground speed is too fast then dirt will  
pass over the top of the material control blade or too  
much dirt will be carried out the end into the windrow.  
2. Check oil level in gearbox and chaincase. Refer to  
Lubrication” on page 20 of this manual.  
3. Check that all plugs have been replaced properly in  
the gearbox and chaincase.  
4. Be sure all bolts and nuts are tight.  
5. Be certain all guards and shields are in place and  
secure.  
6. Grease PTO shaft and all other grease fittings. Refer  
11. Proper operating depth and ground speed are  
interrelated and performance of the powered rake  
will improve with operator experience.  
to “Lubrication” on page 20.  
7. Check air pressure in gauge wheel tires. It should be  
14 psi.  
12. Normal operating angle of the roller is all the way (20  
degrees) left or right but may be varied depending on  
what the conditions call for.  
13. Periodically check for foreign objects wrapped  
around the roller or stuck in between the bars on the  
roller and remove them after disengaging PTO,  
turning off tractor, and removing ignition key  
14. The danish tine package option loosens rocks and  
trash below the surface of the ground. Normal  
operating depth is 1" to 4" deep when needed.

Section 3: Adjustments  
powered rake is too high in the front then the rear portion  
of the roller will cut deeper than the front portion of the  
roller when angled.  
Setting Depth and Leveling  
IMPORTANT: It is very important that the powered  
rake be level front to rear and left to right for proper  
performance.  
Setting The Depth  
The powered rake must be level left to right before setting  
the depth. The operating depth is controlled by the gauge  
wheels and not the lower tractor 3 point lift arms. Move the  
gauge wheels up for greater depth or move them down for  
less depth.  
Leveling Left-To-Right  
The powered rake must be level left to right for best  
performance. Left to right leveling should be performed  
on a flat surface such as a concrete slab.  
1. Adjust the angle of the roller so it is at 0˚ or straight.  
1. Remove the bail pin, from the top of the gauge wheel  
castor pivot.  
2. Check that the air pressure is 14 psi in both gauge  
wheel tires.  
2. Remove the gauge wheel assemblies and swap the  
spacers, as necessary. Make sure both gauge  
wheels are set to the same depth.  
3. Move the gauge wheels all the way down. See  
Setting Depth” page 13.  
3. Reinstall the gauge wheel assemblies into their  
mounts.  
4. Block up under the front of the powered rake frame  
until the powered rake is level front to rear.  
4. Reinstall the bail pin removed in step 1.  
5. Measure from the bottom of the left hand end of the  
roller to the ground and from the right hand end of the  
roller to the ground. If these measurements are not  
equal then go on to step 6. If they are equal then the  
powered rake is level left to right.  
5. Re-level the powered rake front to rear. See  
Leveling Front To Rear” below.  
Drive Chain Adjustment  
6. Loosen the mounting bolts bolting the right hand  
roller leg to the frame and shim between the ground  
and the bottom of the right hand end of the roller until  
the right hand end is the same distance from the  
ground as the left hand end.  
!
CAUTION  
BEFORE any maintenance is performed, lower the power  
rake to the ground, stop tractor engine and remove the key. DO  
NOT attempt to make maintenance adjustments while tractor  
is running.  
7. Retighten the mounting bolts and the powered rake  
is now level left to right.  
Refer to Figure 3-1:  
8. Check the tractors lower 3-point lift arms to see if  
they are the same distance above the ground and  
adjust if necessary. Note: If these arms are not level  
then the powered rake will not operate level.  
1. By removing the rubber plug (#1) and sticking your  
finger into hole, you can check chain tension.  
(Movement should not exceed 5/8" of deflection).  
2. If further investigation of chain is warranted, remove  
chain idler access plate (#2) and gasket to check the  
chain visually.  
Leveling Front-To-Rear  
The operating depth must be set before leveling the  
powered rake front to rear. See “Setting The Depth”  
above. Leveling the powered rake front to rear is done in  
the field by setting the down stop for the tractors lower 3  
point arms at the point where the powered rake is level  
front to rear. It is very important for the powered rake to  
be level front to rear to eliminate gouging of the roller  
when the powered rake is angled. If the powered rake is  
too low in the front then the front portion of the roller will  
cut deeper than the rear portion when angled. If the  
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken in removing  
gasket.  
3. Adjustment of drive chain can be accomplished by  
loosening nut (#3) and screwing in stud (#4) to  
tighten chain or out to loosen chain. Retighten nut  
(#3) after adjustment is complete.

Section 3: Adjustments  
Material Control Blade Adjustment  
Refer to Figure 3-2:  
IMPORTANT: Overtightening of chain may cause  
premature wear of sprockets and chain.  
The material control blade can be adjusted three ways:  
4. Visually check the amount of adjustment left in the  
idler. If the adjustment is almost gone then it is time  
to replace the drive chain and or the sprockets. See  
Drive Chain Replacement” and “Sprocket  
Replacement” below.  
1. The gap between the bottom of the material control  
blade and the top of the roller can be adjusted by the  
adjuster bolt (#1). In general a wider gap will allow  
larger rocks to pass through and will allow the dirt to  
pass through faster for higher ground speeds. Make  
sure the gap is the same on both ends of the blade.  
Normal gap width is around 3/4”.  
2. The pitch of the material control blade can be  
adjusted by loosening the bolt (#2) and bolt (#3) and  
pivoting the material control blade around the bolt  
(#3). Normally a line from the top edge of the  
material control blade to the bottom edge of the  
material control blade should intersect the center of  
the roller.  
3. The material control blade can be adjusted front to  
rear by loosening the bolt (#4) and moving the  
material control blade front to rear in the slot (#5).  
Normally the dimension “A” should be close to 1 3/4”.

Maintenance  
Drive Chain Maintenance  
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life  
of any implement. With careful and systematic  
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and  
repair.  
The operator should check periodically to make sure that  
the drive chain is tight. If adjustment is needed refer to  
“Drive Chain Adjustment” on page 14.  
Sprocket and Chain Replacement  
Refer to Figure 1-10:  
After using your Rotary Cutter for several hours, check  
all bolts to be sure they are tight.  
1. Remove cover plate (#1) and gasket (#2). Care  
should be taken in removing gasket.  
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by  
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.  
NOTE: Oil in chain case! Be prepared to capture oil  
when taking cover off.  
!
CAUTION  
BEFORE any maintenance is preformed, lower the power rake  
to the ground, stop tractor engine and remove key. DO NOT  
attempt to make maintenance adjustments while tractor is  
running.  
2. Loosen chain tension. Refer to “Drive Chain  
Adjustmentpage 14.  
3. Remove nuts (#3), one on top and one on bottom.  
4. Remove both sprockets (#4) and (#5) and chain (#6)  
altogether.  
Storage  
At the end of the working season or when the powered  
rake will not be used for a long period, it is good practice  
to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated  
on any of the moving parts.  
5. Install new chain and sprockets.  
6. Reinstall nuts (#3).  
7. Retighten chain tension. Refer to “Drive Chain  
Adjustment” on page 14.  
Check the roller cutting bars for wear and replace the  
roller if necessary.  
8. Turn the roller several turns and observe the chain to  
make sure everything is working properly.  
Inspect the powered rake for loose, damaged or worn  
parts and adjust or replace if needed.  
9. Reinstall cover plate (#1) and gasket (#2).  
10. Check the oil level in the chain case. See  
Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication” above.  
Lubrication” on page 21.  
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent  
rust.  
Drain gearbox and chaincase oil. Drain oil in gearbox by  
removing the bottom drain plug on. Drain oil in chaincase  
by removing cover (#1) Figure 1-10. Be sure to refill  
gearbox and chaincase at this time.  
Take the pressure off the hydraulics cylinders and hoses  
if the powered rake is equipped with the optional  
hydraulic angling or tine lift.  
Apply a light coat of grease to all exposed hydraulic  
cylinder rods.  
Store powered rake in a clean, dry place.

Bottom and Top Seal Installation  
Friction Clutch PTO  
If the bottom and top seals (#7) Figure 5-1 on page 17  
need replacing refer to Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3.  
Refer to Figure 5-4:  
Powered Rake drive components are protected from  
shock loads by a two plate friction clutch located  
between the gearbox and the drive shaft.  
The clutch should slip during operation to protect the  
powered rake from excessive loads.  
Prior to initial operation and after long periods of  
inactivity, the Friction Clutch should be “run-in”.  
1. Tighten all 4 nuts uniformly until the spring load is low  
enough that the clutch slips freely with the PTO  
engaged.  
2. Engage the PTO until the clutch rotates one  
revolution.  
3. Turn nuts fully back. Clutch is ready for use.
