Increasing blade pitch will increase the blades digging ability. Lengthen the center link to increase blade pitch when grading while traveling forward. Shorten the center link to decrease blade pitch. The opposite is true if backfilling. Shorten center link to increase blade pitch and lengthen center link to decrease blade pitch. To help protect the 3-Way Rear Blade from damage while backfilling, lengthen the tractor’s center top link until the blade will move across the top of the ground without forcing itself into the soil. IMPORTANT: The Rear Blade must be hitched to a tractor and raised off the ground several inches to make the following adjustments. Blade Angle and Reversing ! CAUTION Avoid injury from falling blade. Always check to make sure all hardware is secured properly before rotating blade. ! CAUTION The blade may come in contact with the tractor’s rear tire when offsetting it to its maximum position and angling it in the same direction to its most severe angle. IMPORTANT: Never fully extend hydraulic offset cylinder or angle cylinder without first checking to make sure blade does not interfere with tractor tires. Damage may occur if blade makes contact with tractor tires. Refer to Figure 1-3 on page 10: Adjust blade angle with angling cylinder by as much as 45 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise. Operate tractor control lever to change blade angle. The blade may also be rotated 180 degrees. 1. Disconnect angle cylinder from blade turntable lug. Blade Offset !

Go inside to warm-up before continuing when getting too cold. ! CAUTION Make certain parking stand, when rotated fully down, is secured with hitch pin and hairpin cotter. IMPORTANT: Be careful when working areas where obstructions can be hidden. Always check the area before working it and mark any potential hazards with a visible flag. Travel slowly through high risk areas and always be prepared to stop immediately should the blade make contact with a solid object. IMPORTANT: Do not Operate hydraulic cylinder(s) with blade under load. This can damage the moldboard, pivot pins and mainframe. Always remove load before operating hydraulics. IMPORTANT: Do not hitch Rear Blade to a tractor rated outside the recommended horsepower range. Doing so can be bend and/or break the blade. Inspection After Hook-Up Make the following inspections after attaching the Rear Blade to the tractor: 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 and moldboard. 3. Carefully pivot blade fully clockwise and offset blade to align end of moldboard with tractor tire. Raise and lower implement to ensure tractor tire and tractor do not contact end of blade. 4. Carefully pivot blade fully counterclockwise and offset blade to align end of moldboard with tractor tire. Raise and lower implement to ensure tractor tire and tractor do not contact end of blade. ! DANGER ! DANGER ! DANGER ! DANGER When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Make sure Rear Blade does not block tractor’s Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign while transporting on a road. Install a SMV sign on the Rear Blade if tractor’s SMV sign is blocked. Traffic not alerted to a slow moving tractor might hit the tractor causing serious injury or death. Transport with Rear Blade centered behind the tractor. An offset blade extends past the tractor farther and carries a higher risk of hitting traffic and other obstructions that can cause serious injury or death. Always keep a safe distance from obstructions. The blade can extend beyond tractor tires and will make a wide swinging pattern when turning. Never hit a solid object with blade as this can damage property and cause tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of control, serious injury, or death. 1. Do not operate a tractor that has weak or broken brakes or worn tires. 2. When traveling on roadways: • Transport with blade centered behind the tractor to minimize blade overhang. • Transport with blade facing forward so that the red decals face back and amber decal face front. • Transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. • Slow down if traveling on a wet slick road. 3. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly terrain and when going downhill. 4. Leave enough clearance on both sides of the Rear Blade when traveling straight and making turns to keep blade from contacting obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences. 5. Inspect Hydraulic hoses for wear, damage and hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard” on page 3 Replace damaged and worn hoses with genuine Land Pride parts. 18 RBT6010 & RBT6012 Rear Blades 301-360M 11/09/15 Table of Contents Section 4: Operating Procedures Rear Blade Functions IMPORTANT: Do not Operate hydraulic cylinder(s) with blade under load. This can damage the moldboard, pivot pins and mainframe. Always remove load before operating hydraulics. IMPORTANT: The warranty shall not apply to damage caused by misuse, abuse, or contact with obstructions. Grading Place grade stakes if you intend to develop a specific grade or soil level. Pivot moldboard to the desired angle, lower blade to the ground and set tractor’s draft-link height control to the desired position. Proceed forward at a speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should immediately begin shaving the surface. A blade full of material can be raised slightly so that material can flow out evenly under the blade to effectively shave off high spots and fill in potholes and depressions. Loose soil can be smoothed out by pushing the soil with the back of the moldboard while backing-up. Backfilling Backfilling is a process where the operator turns the blade around 180o and pushes the product while backing-up. Be careful not to overstress the Rear Blade while backfilling as load forces on the blade and frame increase when backing up. To help protect the Rear Blade from damage, lengthen the tractor’s center top link until the blade will move across the top of the ground without forcing itself into the soil, adjust the offset to be straight behind the tractor and set the blade angle at 90o (perpendicular to the Mainframe). Keep the load in the center of the blade and not on the end of the blade. Don’t ram a load with the blade and always operate at slow speeds when backing-up. Be ready to stop immediately if a solid object is hit. Removing snow while backing-up is especially dangerous as snow can hide solid objects and there is a tendency to drive too fast to get the snow removal job done. High speeds multiply the forces exerted on the Rear Blade. Un-Hooking the 3-Way Rear Blade ! CAUTION If a dual gauge wheels is included, set tractor’s draft-link height control to the maximum preferred cutting depth. Raise and lower blade with the dual gauge wheel. Make certain parking stand, when rotated fully down, is secured with hitch pin and hairpin cotter. Edge work 1. Material that is close to fences, buildings, and other obstructions can be graded by offsetting the moldboard to the right or left beyond the tractor tire. Always make certain the end of the blade is offset far enough to be visible to the operator. Always keep a safe distance away from obstructions, drive slowly when passing by them and stay clear of them when turning. Always be aware that the blade will make a wide swinging pattern in a turn and always be ready to stop immediately to keep from hitting an obstruction. Never hit an obstruction as this can damage the blade and/or obstruction. Ditch Work The Rear Blade is good for making V-type ditches. Tilt one end of the moldboard down to the desired ditching angle. Offset that end to be in line with the tractor’s rear tire and pivot the other end of the moldboard back. The combined offset angle and pivot angle should be between 45o and 60o. Operate the tractor at slow speeds when cleaning a ditch or removing snow. Be careful not to hit hidden solid objects that can damage the Rear Blade. Always be ready to stop immediately. Remember, the lighter the blade load, the easier it is for the tractor to damage the blade when hitting solid objects. Un-hook 3-Way Rear Blade from the tractor as follows: Park on a level solid hard surface. Place tractor gear selector in park and set park brake. 2. Lower parking jack and secure with hitch pin. 3. Lower blade and parking jack onto level ground or onto blocks supporting the unit just above ground. 4. Shut tractor engine off and remove key. 5. Move hydraulic control levers back and forth several times to reliever hydraulic pressure in the lines and at the couplings. 6. Unhook couplings and store in notched slots on the hitch frame. 7. If necessary, adjust length of upper center 3-Point link until the hitch pin can be removed from the hitch frame. 8. Remove hitch pins from the lower 3-Point arms at the hitch frame. 9. Reinstall hitch pins, linchpins, and hairpin cotters in the Rear Blade hitch frame for storage. 10. Refer to “Storage” instructions on page 21 when storing the Rear Blade for a long time. Fill ditches by offsetting the blade beyond the tractor wheel to keep the tractor out of the ditch. Angle the blade to move the dirt toward and into the ditch while traveling forward. Set blade depth as needed (see “Grading” instructions on this page when setting blade depth). 11/09/15 RBT6010 & RBT6012 Rear Blades 301-360M 19 Table of Contents Section 4: Operating Procedures Basic Operating Instructions 1. Thoroughly inspect the work area for buried utility cables, pipelines, sprinkler heads and any unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards. 2. Place grade stakes if you intend to develop a specific grade or soil level. 3. Adjust blade to the desired angle, tilt, and offset position before lowering blade to the ground. 4. Lower blade to the ground and proceed forward at a speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should immediately begin shaving the soil surface. 5. Set tractor’s draft-link height control lever to the desired grade position. If blade is set at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel, it may be necessary to raise the blade slightly so that dirt and gravel can flow out evenly under the blade as it shaves off high spots and fills in potholes or depressions. General Operating Instructions Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s Manual, completed the operations checklist, and properly attached your Land Pride Rear Blade to your tractor, you are now almost ready to begin work. Hopefully you have checked out your work site for any buried utility cables, pipelines, sprinkler heads, or other obstacles that you wouldn’t want to damage or encounter. Grade stakes should now be in place if you intend to develop a specific grade, elevation, soil contour, or roadbed crown. The primary purpose of the RBT60 Series Rear Blades is for grading or leveling soil, gravel, or aggregate in the warmer months and snow removal in the colder months. These functions are best done at an approximate 2 to 4 mph ground speed. Becoming proficient with a Rear Blade takes practice. If you have the blade set at a horizontal angle, the shaved or accumulated material will begin to move outward toward the trailing edge of the blade. The greater the angle the more quickly the shaved material will be distributed off to the side. If it is necessary to work up next to a building foundation, abutment, or raised curb you may want to offset the blade so that the outside edge of the blade is beyond the outer edge of the tractor tire in working position. Backfilling operations may be more easily performed by reversing the blade and operating the tractor in reverse or commonly called the push mode. Be careful not to overstress the rear blade while backfilling as load forces on the blade and frame increase while backing up. If you are performing the construction of soil contours or waterways you will probably need to set a tilt angle on the blade to achieve the desired effect. If you are grading or cutting a new ditch bank or forming a road crown, you will probably want to offset the blade in combination with setting an appropriate tilt angle. This again will likely require some experimentation to gain desired results. Snow removal techniques with a blade will be very similar to dirt working techniques and will require a little experimentation to become proficient. With a little practice you should become a very good operator and consistently achieve the desired results you expect with your Land Pride RBT60 Series Rear Blade. See “Specifications” & “Capacities” on page 25 and “Features and Benefits” on page 25 for additional information and performance enhancing options. Tractor horsepower, your personal skill level, soil or aggregate composition, moisture levels, and compaction factors will all have a definite impact on how easily and effectively you get the job done when you are in the dirt working mode. Develop a plan to achieve your expected results. Set the blade up at the proper angle or angles to do the job. The hydraulic angling, tilt, and offset capabilities of the RBT60 Series will make these adjustments easy utilizing the tractors remote hydraulic controls. This may require some experimentation to achieve the desired results. Lower the blade to the ground and proceed forward at a speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should immediately begin shaving the soil surface and dirt or aggregate material. Set the tractor’s draft-link height control in the desired position. With the blade set at a 90 degree angle you may need to raise the blade slightly so that the dirt or gravel can flow out evenly under the blade effectively shaving off high spots and filling in potholes or depressions. 20 RBT6010 & RBT6012 Rear Blades 301-360M 11/09/15 Table of Contents Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication Maintenance Storage Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any implement.
