Application  
The addition of a Land Pride SC2660 or SC2672 Skid  
Steer Rotary Cutter to your arsenal of skid steer  
attachments will dramatically increase the versatility and  
value of your personal skid steer investment.  
The SC2660 and SC2672 Series Skid Steer Rotary  
Cutters are built and designed by Land Pride for cutting  
on gently sloping or slightly contoured right-of-ways,  
pastures, set aside acres, and row crop fields. These  
skid steer mounted cutters provide unparalleled access  
to tightly restricted areas such as under fences, in and  
around boxed in corner sections of corrals and out  
buildings, vineyard and nursery rows, wooded lots, and  
approaches to ditches and waterways. The 60" or 72"  
cutting width, 8"offset capability to the right, 2" cutting  
capacity, 1.5" to 18" cutting height range, and the  
universal skid steer floating-hitch mounting plate make  
the SC2660 and SC2672 highly versatile and easy to  
use. The SC2660 is compatible with and designed for  
attachment to skid steers having 1500 psi to 3000 psi  
operating pressure and flow rates in the 11-15 gpm,  
15-21 gpm, or 18-27 gpm ranges. The SC2672 is  
compatible with and designed for attachment to skid  
steers having 1500 psi to 3000 psi operating pressure  
and flow rates in the 15-21 gpm, or 18-27 gpm ranges.

Height Adjustment Safety Chain  
For safety, the cutter rear skid shoes should not be  
raised higher than 16 1/2" off the ground (18" Maximum  
cutting height).  
!
WARNING  
Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid  
supports or by locking the hydraulics before working around  
or under a raised deck. Never work under equipment  
supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if  
controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either  
situation can drop the cutter instantly even when power to the  
hydraulics is shut off.  
NOTE: Two people may be required to install and  
adjust the safety chain.  
1. Raise cutter’s rear skid shoes slightly less than  
16 1/2" off the ground.  
2. Run height adjustment safety chain from under the  
2" x 3" hitch tube to the Skid Steer lower hitch loop.  
Thread chain through the hitch loop and back towards  
the hitch plate. Connect quick link coupler to a chain  
loop as shown.  
!
DANGER  
Do not raise cutter higher than 16 1/2" off the ground. Raising  
cutter higher can cause serious bodily injury and/or death.  
Use safety limit chain to limit cutter height.  
3. Raise cutter up until the safety chain is tight. Check  
height of rear skid shoes.  
4. If rear skid shoes are higher than 16 1/2" above ground  
level, lower cutter and make necessary adjustments to  
the safety chain to limit rear skid shoe height to  
16 1/2" maximum.  
!
DANGER  
Do not tilt hitch plate to raise front of cutter higher than the

Refer to Figure 2-3:  
1. Park Skid Steer with cutter on a level surface.  
2. Adjust ratchet jack to raise gauge wheel up until it is  
even with bottom of front skid shoes.  
3. Use Skid Steer hydraulics to lower Skid Steer lift arms  
and to tilt cutter hitch plate angle until bottom of skid  
shoe at the front deck corner is dimension (A) off the  
ground and the rear deck corner is slightly higher off the  
ground than the front deck corner.  
!
DANGER  
Engage parking brake, disengage power to cutter, shut off  
Skid Steer, remove key and ensure that all moving parts have  
come to a complete stop before dismounting from the Skid  
Steer.  
4. Adjust ratchet jack to lower gauge wheel until it is at  
ground level.  
IMPORTANT: The blades should be positioned to cut  
material only at the front of the cutter. If the deck is  
level or the rear of the cutter is lower than the front,  
then the blades are subject to continuous material  
flow resulting in cutting clumps at the discharge chute,  
horsepower loss, high blade wear, and frequent blade  
sharpening.  
5. With gauge wheel at ground level, use Skid Steer  
hydraulics to adjust cutter hitch plate angle until the  
float chain sags.  
!
CAUTION  
Do Not over angle hitch plate forward. Over angling can  
cause damage to deck, hitch and gauge wheel.  
NOTE: Nominal Cutting Height is the distance  
from bottom of cutter blade to ground level at the  
front of the cutter. Subtract 1 1/2" from Nominal  
Cutting Height to determine distance (A). Distance  
(A) is measured from bottom of front skid shoes to  
ground level.  
The Rotary Cutter should be operated with gauge wheel  
on the ground, slack in float chain and deck rear slightly  
higher off the ground than deck front. As the operator  
travels over uneven terrain, the Skid Steer hitch plate tilt  
angle and lift arm height may need some readjusting to  
maintain correct deck positioning.  
Float Chain should sag when gauge wheel is  
resting on level ground. Adjust hitch plate  
tilt angle to put a sag in the Float Chain.

Section 3: Operating Procedures  
Section 3: Operating Procedures  
Operating Information  
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent  
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper  
training involved in the operation, transport,  
maintenance and storage of the Rotary Cutter.  
Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates  
the Rotary Cutter without first having read, fully  
understood and become totally familiar with the  
Operator’s Manual. Make sure the operator has paid  
particular attention to:  
!
WARNING  
Do not operate Rotary Cutter without an operator protective  
door mounted to the cab and protective eye wear such as  
safety glasses or goggles. Flying objects from the cutter can  
cause serious injury to the body and eyes.  
!
WARNING  
The SC2660 Rotary Cutter is designed to cut grass and brush  
up to 2” in diameter. Using this cutter for another type of work  
can damage the drive components, deck and support frame.  
!
WARNING  
Do not travel too fast. The rougher the terrain, the slower you  
must travel. Always travel at a speed slow enough to be able  
to adjust the deck height before running it into the ground.  
Remember, sudden dropping of the front tires can slam the  
deck into the ground. Also, travel slow enough to stop before  
running or turning into obstacles ahead and on either side.  
The following inspections should be performed before  
operating your Skid Steer cutter.  
Inspection Checklist  
L Check  
Reference  
!
DANGER  
Make Sure all guards and shields are in place  
and secure.  
Do not cut on steep inclines. The Skid Steer could flip over  
causing damage to the equipment, serious injury or death.  
Inspect Hydraulic hoses for wear, damage  
and hydraulic leaks. Replace damaged and  
worn hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.  
!
DANGER  
Do not use deck to lift, push or pull objects. This can damage  
the deck, cause serious injury or death.  
Grease all fittings. Refer to “Lubrication”  
Check the Rotary Cutter initially and periodically Page 31  
for loose bolts & pins, Torque Values Chart.  
!
DANGER  
Never carry a person on the cutter. A person can fall and be  
ran over causing serious injury or death.  
!
CAUTION  
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high  
speeds. Therefore, the use of front & rear deck safety shields  
is required! Keep all bystanders at least 100 yards away.  
Flying objects from the cutter can cause serious injury or  
death.  
!
DANGER  
Do not use deck as a working platform. The deck is not  
properly designed or guarded for this use. Using deck as a  
working platform can cause serious injury or death.  
!
CAUTION  
Do not cut after dark without working lights. The equipment  
can be damaged from hitting objects not seen in the dark and  
from being hit by vehicles not able to see the equipment.  
!
DANGER  
Do not use deck as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly  
designed or guarded for this use. Using the deck as a fan can  
cause serious injury or death.  
!
CAUTION  
Cutter deck can be slippery especially when wet. Always step  
on the anti grip pads when possible. Never hurry. Make sure  
you have secure footing and hand hold when walking on the  
deck.  
!
DANGER  
Do not operator the cutter with cutting blades raised higher  
than 18" off the ground. Always use the height adjusting safety  
chain to limit cutting height to 18" (16 1/2" skid shoe height).  
Raising the cutter higher can throw debris at the operator and  
cause serious injury or death.  
!
WARNING  
Do not become entangled in the hydraulic hoses. Tripping  
over the hoses while entering or exiting the Skid Steer  
operator station can cause serious injury to the body.  
!
DANGER  
Shields must be secured in place when operating to avoid  
injury or death from entanglement in rotating drivelines.

Section 3: Operating Procedures  
3. If included, adjust gauge wheel to support deck front at  
the preferred height and tilt hitch plate to put slack in the  
float chains.  
!
DANGER  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear  
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working  
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood  
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If  
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a  
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.  
4. Start the machine and engage hydraulic motor. Allow  
several seconds for cutter blades to become aligned  
properly. If deck continues to vibrate after several  
seconds, stop motor and inspect blades.  
5. It is important to maintain correct hydraulic motor  
speed. Loss of motor speed will allow the blades to  
hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.  
IMPORTANT: Shut off all power, disengage  
auxiliary hydraulics, set park brake and remove  
ignition key any time the Rotary Cutter is not  
operating properly or needs adjustment.  
6. Ground speed depends on two things: the density of  
the material being cut and size of Skid Steer. Never run  
fast enough to overload the Skid Steer and/or cutter.  
7. This cutter was designed to cut grass and medium  
brush cutting on gently sloping or slightly contoured  
right-of-ways, pastures, set aside acres, and row  
crop fields.  
IMPORTANT: Avoid catching the hydraulic hoses on  
brush, post, stumps, and other protrusions that  
could damage and/or break them.  
Transporting  
!
CAUTION  
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.  
1. Be sure to reduce ground speed when turning; and,  
leave enough clearance so the Rotary Cutter does  
not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or  
fences.  
DO NOT OPERATE WITH  
SKID STEER FRONT WHEELS OFF THE GROUND  
Figure 3-1  
2. Select a safe ground travel speed that is 20 m.p.h. or  
less when transporting from one area to another. When  
traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that  
faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.  
3. Decrease transport speed when traveling over rough or  
hilly terrain.  
!
WARNING  
DO NOT OPERATE CUTTER OR NAVIGATE TURNS WITH  
FRONT WHEELS OF SKID STEER OFF THE GROUND.  
OPERATING IN ABOVE FASHION WILL CAUSE DAMAGE  
TO DECK, HITCH AND GAUGE WHEEL.  
4. When transporting Skid Steer and Rotary Cutter on a  
trailer:  
Use towing vehicle and trailer of adequate  
capacity.  
Always drive up a ramp with heavy end uphill.  
General Operating Instructions  
Engage Skid Steer park brake and remove ignition  
It is absolutely essential that you read and understand  
both the operator’s manual for the Land Pride SC2660 or  
SC2672 Skid Steer Rotary Cutter and the operator’s  
manual for the Skid Steer unit you intend to attach it to  
before attempting to operate or cut with this combination  
of equipment. You must be able to read, comprehend  
and adhere to all safety warnings and decals in order to  
avoid personal injury, fatalities, injury to others, or costly  
damage to property and equipment. We highly  
switch key once it is loaded.  
Secure Skid Steer Loader and attachment using  
tie-downs and chains.  
Cutting Instructions  
NOTE: Your cutter is equipped with free swinging  
cutting blades to reduce shock loads to the cutter  
when striking an obstacle.  
recommend that you be a skilled and competent Skid  
Steer operator prior to attaching and attempting to use  
the SC2660 or SC2672 Skid Steer Rotary Cutter. If there  
is any part of the information above or safe operating  
procedures you do not understand, please contact your  
nearest authorized dealer for a full explanation and  
training session if necessary.  
1. Thoroughly inspect the area to be cut for debris and  
unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.  
2. Set Skid Steer hydraulic lift arms and hitch angle to  
position the deck front at the preferred cutting height  
and the deck rear slightly higher.

Skid Steer Operating Instructions  
Assuming you have met all of the above requirements  
and taken them seriously, it is time to take the next step  
and that is accomplished by dressing appropriately for  
the task. You will need to put on protective eye wear such  
as safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield. A hard hat,  
steel toed safety shoes, gloves, and hearing protection  
are also highly recommended. Never wear loose fitting  
clothing and you may want to put on a respirator or filter  
mask to avoid breathing in dust, pollen, or agriculturally  
used toxins that may be present.  
approximately two inches above the ground. Turn the  
engine off, set the parking brake, and climb out of the Skid  
Steer. Lock the latch handles down to engage the hitch  
pins. Make the appropriate hydraulic connections to the  
auxiliary hydraulic outlet and case drain making sure to  
keep connectors clean. Be sure to use proper fittings and  
if connection is difficult, moving levers may help relieve  
line pressure. (Note! Hydraulic flow direction on all skid  
steers is not the same. Make sure hoses are connected  
properly or blades will rotate at a much slower speed.)  
Wipe away spilled or excess hydraulic oil and secure  
Cordura sleeves to contain potential leaks. Connect the  
height limiting safety chain to the chassis attaching point  
and restrict cutting height to no more that eighteen  
inches. This completes the attachment of the cutter to the  
Skid Steer.  
The next step is a static or non-running pre-inspection of  
the Skid Steer unit. You will want to make sure that the  
Skid Steer is equipped with a fully functioning ROPS  
(Roll Over Protection System) which does include seat  
belts and an operator safety enclosure. The cab must  
also be equipped with an operator protective door, which  
may have been supplied with the Skid Steer unit. Land  
Pride does offer a protective door with the SC2660 and  
SC2672 if one is not already provided. If the Skid Steer is  
to be operated on local roadways, it must be equipped  
with appropriate Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) and other  
required lighting packages so as to make it compliant  
with state and local department of transportation  
requirements. The cutter drive motor must be matched to  
the output of the hydraulic capacity of the Skid Steer.  
Failure to do this could result in serious over-speeding of  
the cutting unit possibly resulting in serious injury,  
fatalities or property damage. The universal quick-hitch  
mount should be in good working order and latches  
should be located to the open position. There should be  
no evidence of hydraulic leaks in and around the  
auxiliary hydraulic couplers. There must be a readily  
accessible attaching point for the Rotary Cutter lift-limit  
chain on the lower front portion of the chassis frame.  
Finally make sure that all shields and safety features are  
in place and fully functional.  
The next step is to complete a pre-operation check of the  
cutter. Make sure all guards, safety shields, safety  
chains, and deflectors are in place. All hardware must be  
in place and appropriately tightened. Damaged, severely  
worn or defective parts must be replaced prior to  
operation. If your unit is equipped with the optional front  
mounted gauge wheel, you will want to adjust it for  
desired cutting height at this time.  
You should always inspect the area where you intend to  
cut for debris and hazards located on the ground. No one,  
including people and animals, should be allowed within  
100 yards of this cutter when in operation. If someone  
does approach, shut the cutter down immediately. The  
blades on this cutter should never be allowed to come in  
contact with objects such as wire, cable, rope, or chains  
that might become entangled. These types of entangled  
objects can become extremely hazardous by rotating  
outside of the cutter deck housing resulting in serious  
injury or death. Always inspect the area before you mow.  
The next step is to perform a running check of the Skid  
Steer unit. As you get onto the Skid Steer and into the  
operator’ compartment always use factory provided  
hand-holds and don’t grab the steering or control levers  
to ease or stabilize your entry. Fasten your seat belt once  
you are seated and begin to mentally orient yourself with  
the position of all controls, switches, pedals, levers, and  
their related functions. Once you are sure that the park  
brake is on, no people or animals are in close proximity,  
all control levers, pedals and hydraulic systems are in  
neutral position, go ahead and start the engine. With the  
engine now running and the throttle at approximately one  
third, test all controls to make sure they are fully  
The best mowing results will be achieved at speeds  
between 2 mph and 5 mph as grounds and mowing  
conditions dictate. If you are mowing in particularly tall or  
dense brush, you may want to make two passes with the  
first pass being at 18" and the second pass made as a  
cross-cut at the desired cut height. If you are mowing  
without the benefit of the front mounted gauge wheel in  
the float position, you will probably need to slow down  
significantly especially over uneven terrain or furrows.  
Driving too fast over uneven ground will cause the unit to  
undulate in a forward pitching motion. The best advice is  
to drive slow but keep engine speed and blade tip speed  
high. Once you get the feel of it you can increase speed  
and productivity.  
functioning. If at any time there is an equipment failure,  
shut the unit down and make immediate and full repairs.  
When you do need to stop, make sure you set the park  
brake, shut the Skid Steer engine off, and allow time for  
the blades to stop rotating before you climb down. With a  
little practice we are confident you will soon achieve safe  
and excellent results with your new Land Pride SC2660 or  
SC2672 Skid Steer Rotary Cutter.  
Rotary Cutter Operating Instructions  
Assuming all systems with the Skid Steer are “go” and  
fully functioning, it is time to connect to the SC2660 or  
SC2672 Rotary Cutter. This is done by maneuvering the  
Skid Steer mounting plate into position under the  
universal quick mount hitch saddle. Once this is

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication  
d. Always grind the cutting edge so that the end of  
the blade remains square to the cutting edge and  
not rounded.  
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.  
e. Do not sharpen the back side of the blade.  
f. Both blades should weigh the same after  
sharpening with not more than 1 1/2 oz.  
difference. Unbalancedbladeswillcauseexcessive  
vibration which can damage gearbox bearings and  
create structural cracks.  
After using your Rotary Cutter for several hours, check all  
bolts to be sure they are tight.  
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by  
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.  
6. Carefully check cutting edges of blades in relation to  
blade carrier rotation to ensure correct blade  
placement. Cutter blades must be installed with  
cutting edge leading in rotation and airfoil (lift) must be  
oriented towards the top of the deck.  
Cutter Blade Maintenance  
!
DANGER  
Always disconnect hydraulic hoses from the Skid Steer before  
servicing underside of deck. The motor can be engaged if Skid  
Steer is started resulting in possible damage to the cutter,  
bodily injury and/or death.  
Refer to Figure 5-1:  
IMPORTANT: Shim (#2) below may or may not be  
required. If blade deflection is less than 3/4" without  
a shim, then the shim is not used. However, a shim  
is required if blade deflection is greater than 3/4".  
!
WARNING  
Always secure the cutter deck in the up position with solid  
supports before servicing the underside. Never work under  
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop  
equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst.  
Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when power  
to the hydraulics is shut off.  
IMPORTANT: Locknuts can loose their ability to lock  
properly once removed. Therefore, always use a  
used blade nut or plain nut in steps 7 & 8 below and  
then replace used nut with new locknut in step 9.  
7. Start by assembling blades without shim (#2). Insert  
blade bolt (#1) through blade (#3), dish pan (#4) and  
flat washer (#5). Temporarily secure blade with a used  
1 1/8"-12 nut. Draw nut up snug. Do not tighten.  
IMPORTANT: Replacement blades should be  
ordered in pairs. Order only genuine Land Pride  
blades. Other blades may not meet specifications.  
Always inspect cutting blades before each use. Make  
certain they are properly installed and are in good  
working condition. Replace any blade that is damaged,  
worn, bent, or excessively nicked. Small nicks can be  
ground out when sharpening.  
3/4" maximum  
blade deflection  
when blade  
bolts are tight  
Remove cutting blades and sharpen or replace as follows:  
1. Align blade bolt with access hole in deck.  
2. Place skid steer in park and/or set brakes, shut engine  
off and remove ignition key.  
3. Always disconnect hydraulics from Skid Steer and  
secure cutter deck in the up position with solid  
supports before servicing underside of cutter.

Cutter Blade Assembly  
Figure 5-1  
4. See Figure 5-1. Unscrew locknut (#6) to remove  
cutting blade (#3). Blade bolt (#1) is keyed and will  
not turn freely.  
8. Check blade deflection. If deflection is greater than  
3/4", remove blade bolt and reassemble as before  
except include shim (#2) when reassembling. Select  
shim thickness based on deflection. The greater the  
deflection, the thicker the shim.  
5. Both blades should be sharpened at the same angle  
as the original cutting edge and must be replaced or  
re-ground at the same time to maintain proper  
balance in the cutting unit. The following precautions  
should be taken when sharpening the blades:  
9. Once blade deflection is correct, replace used nut  
with new locknut (#6) and torque to 450 ft. lbs.  
a. Do not remove more material than necessary.  
b. Do not heat and pound out a cutting edge.  
10. If replacing dishpan (#4), nut on gearbox output shaft  
should be torqued to 450 ft-lbs. minimum and secured  
with a cotter pin installed through the nut and bolt and  
both legs bent opposite directions around nut.  
c. Do not grind blades to a razor edge. Leave a blunt  
cutting edge approximately 1/16” thick.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication  
Storage  
Hydraulic Maintenance  
!
!
CAUTION  
DANGER  
Store cutter with hitch plate in the upright position. A hitch  
plate that is stored folded down against the deck can tip up  
easily resulting in serious injury to the body.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear  
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working  
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood  
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If  
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a  
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.  
!
DANGER  
Do not modify the Rotary Cutter without authorization from  
Land Pride. Unauthorized modifications to the cutter can  
result in the cutter not performing properly and/or in serious  
injury or death.  
One of the most important things you can do to prevent  
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your Skid  
Steer reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.  
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching  
them to your Skid Steer. Replace the filter element for  
your Skid Steer’s hydraulic system at the prescribed  
intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way  
to prevent occurrence of hydraulic problems.  
Clean the Rotary Cutter at the end of the working season  
or when the cutter will not be used for a long period.  
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have  
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape  
off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and  
then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose.  
A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck  
area to minimize oxidation.  
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if  
3. Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust  
or replace as needed.  
4. Lubricate as noted in the Lubrication portion of this  
section starting on page 26.  
5. Store the Rotary Cutter in a clean, dry place. The  
deck should be positioned on a flat surface to suitable  
Skid Steer hook-up height. Ensure that the main  
frame is stable. Use auxiliary supports or posts if  
necessary to prevent the possibility of the unit tipping  
over. Store hitch in the upright position.  
6. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to  
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride  
touch-up paint.
