Check Driveline Collapsible Length  
IMPORTANT: The tractor’s PTO shaft and chipper  
drive shaft must be aligned and level with each other  
during installation of driveline. This alignment is the  
shortest distance between the two shafts.  
IMPORTANT: A driveline that is too long can bottom  
out causing damage to tractor and chipper.  
Always check driveline collapsed length during initial  
setup, when connecting to a different tractor, and  
when alternating between using a quick hitch and a  
standard 3-Point hitch. More than one driveline may  
be required to fit all applications.  
IMPORTANT: Depending on tractor PTO height,  
skid extensions can be adjusted to make driveline  
work with all tractor PTO heights and not interfere  
with chipper upper frame or Quick Hitch.  
1. Make sure driveline is properly installed and level  
from tractor PTO shaft to chipper input shaft before  
checking driveline collapsible length.  
1. Park tractor on a level surface. Slowly engage tractor  
3-Point lift lever to raise Wood Chipper until chipper  
drive shaft is in line (level) with tractor PTO shaft.  
2. With driveline level, measure 1" (“B” dimension)  
back from universal joint shield to end of outer  
driveline shield as shown in Figure 1-5. If  
measurement is less than 1", then shorten driveline  
using the following instructions.  
2. Support Wood Chipper at this height with support  
jacks, blocks, or skid extensions to keep chipper from  
drifting down. To adjust skid extensions, refer to  
3. Disengage PTO, place gear selector in park, set park  
brake, shut tractor off, remove switch key, and wait for  
all moving parts to come to a complete stop before

Detailed Operating Instructions  
The WC1503 Wood Chipper is designed to cut wood  
products 3" in size and smaller such as brush, branches,  
small trees, and lumber into small chips that can be  
quickly turned into mulch or just to aid in decomposition.  
Helpful Operating Hints  
The following hints will help keep the unit from plugging.  
1. Be careful not to feed too much product at once, feed  
oversize product, feed wet product, or feed product  
too fast. Doing so can plug the Wood Chipper.  
IMPORTANT: Make sure operator has thoroughly  
read, fully understood, and is totally familiar with this  
Operator’s Manual and all safety precautions within  
this manual before operating this machine.  
2. Alternate leafy material with a non leafy hardwood  
piece. Hard wood pieces help clean out leafy  
material. Keep alternating leafy material with  
hardwood pieces until leafy material is processed.  
1. Park tractor with Wood Chipper outside on a level  
solid surface that has room to discharge chips into a  
pile directed away from the operator, people,  
animals, tractor, equipment, and buildings.  
3. Let leafy branches dry for a couple weeks before  
chipping them. Dry leaves will process better.  
2. Set tractor engine speed at an idle, place tractor gear  
selector in park, and set park brakes.  
4. Maintaining 1/32" gap between ledger bar and  
knives will keep knives wiped off, prevent plugging,  
allow product to feed better, and keep wood chipping.  
3. Adjust skid extensions to support the Wood Chipper  
at a height that will allow the driveline to operate as

Section 2: Operating Instructions  
General Operating Instructions  
Now that you have familiarized yourself with the  
Operator’s Manual, completed the Operator’s Checklist,  
properly attached your Wood Chipper to your tractor and  
adjusted the angle of tilt correctly, you are almost ready to  
begin using your Land Pride WC1503 Wood Chipper.  
It is now time to do a running operational safety check. If  
at any time during this safety check you detect a  
malfunction in either the Wood Chipper or tractor, shut  
tractor off immediately, remove switch key, and make  
necessary repairs or adjustments before continuing on.  
Make sure the tractor’s park brake is engaged, the  
tractor’s PTO is disengaged, the Wood Chipper is resting  
on its skid extensions, and the driveline shaft is not in a  
bind. Start the tractor and then back the tractor throttle off  
until the engine is at low idle. With the tractor running at  
an idle speed, make sure that the rear 3-Point control  
arms will lower the Wood Chipper from transport to  
working position and back without putting the driveline  
into a bind. Lower the Wood Chipper down to ground and  
engage the PTO drive shaft. Check to make sure  
everything is running smoothly. If not, safely shut the  
tractor down to make necessary corrections. If everything  
is in proper working condition, you are ready to move to  
the work site.  
At the work site you should adjust the skid extensions to  
a height that will allow the driveline to operate as level as  
possible, rotate the discharge chute to direct product  
away from the operator, people, animals, equipment, and  
buildings. You should also adjust the deflector chute to  
control the distance product will be thrown.  
You are now ready to begin turning wood into chips. Make  
sure the unit is setting on its skid extensions, tractor gear  
selection is in park, and park brakes are set. Set tractor  
engine rpm at a low idle and engage the PTO. Once the  
unit is running, increase PTO speed to 540 RPM.  
Dismount tractor and go to the rear to begin loading limbs  
and brush 3" and smaller into the feed chute one at a  
time. You should release your grip once the product  
starts to self-feed. Be careful not to reach past the rubber  
skirting in the feed chute. When necessary, you should  
use a stick or board to push on objects beyond the rubber  
skirting. You will immediately begin to see a generous  
stream of chips being rapidly ejected out of the discharge  
chute to a predetermined location. If the chip pile is not  
developing where you would like, then readjust discharge  
chute and deflector chute to redirect where the pile will  
build. With a little practice you will gain the required  
experience you need to help you achieve the desired  
results you expect from your Land Pride WC1503 Wood  
Chipper.  
Whether you are done chipping, need to take a break, or  
just need to make a few adjustments, always remember  
to reduce the tractor’s engine rpm, disengage the PTO,  
turn engine off, and remove the switch key.

General Maintenance Information  
Rotor Knives  
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life  
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine  
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.  
!
WARNING  
Do not operate Wood Chipper with knives that are bent, out of  
balance, dull, broken, or with worn mounting bolts. Such  
knives can break loose from the chipper at high speeds  
causing serious injury or death.  
Check all bolts and pins after using the unit for several  
hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are  
tight and secured. Lubricate components on schedule.  
Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by  
obtaining them from your Land Pride dealer.  
!
CAUTION  
Knives are sharp. ALWAYS wear gloves and eye protection  
while inspecting, removing, sharpening, and replacing knives.  
!
DANGER  
Work only in areas that are well ventilated. Never operate an  
engine in a closed area without venting the exhaust fumes.  
Exhaust fumes will cause asphyxiation and can lead to death.  
!
CAUTION  
Knife bolts must be tightened to the correct torque value  
Not doing so can damage the chipper and cause bodily injury.  
!
DANGER  
Always secure Wood Chipper in the up position with solid  
supports before servicing underside of chipper. Never work  
under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can  
drop equipment instantly if controls are actuated even when  
power to the hydraulics is shut off.  
IMPORTANT: Replace knives with genuine Land  
Pride knives only. All knives must be replaced at the  
same time. Not replacing knives at the same time  
will result in an out-of-balance condition that can  
contribute to premature bearing breakdown and  
create structural cracks in the chipper housing.  
!
DANGER  
Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut tractor  
engine off, remove switch key, and wait for all moving parts to  
come to a complete stop before unplugging chutes, servicing,  
adjusting, cleaning and/or maintaining this machine.  
35257  
Also, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO before servicing  
driveline, rotor, and rotor knives. The PTO can be engaged if  
tractor is started causing serious injury or death.  
!
WARNING  
Do not operate Wood Chipper with an out-of-balance rotor.  
Rotor parts can work loose at high speeds resulting in flying  
parts that can cause serious injury or death.  
!
WARNING
