Pivoting the Trip Blade
DANGER
Stay away from a blade that has tripped and will not reset
itself. Do not attempt to free the blade by hand as the blade
can suddenly spring back due to the high return spring load.
See “Jammed Trip Blade” instructions on page 21.
Pre-Operation Inspection
1. Park tractor/skid steer with Trip Edge Blade on a flat
level surface. Place transmission in park, set park
brake and lower blade onto the level surface.
2. Shut tractor/skid steer off, remove switch key, relieve
all pressure in the hydraulic lines and wait for all
moving parts to come to a complete stop before
dismounting from the tractor/skid steer.
3. Visually check for excessive wear, worn, damaged,
cracked, or loose parts. Replace parts with genuine
Land Pride parts.
4. Inspect all connections for leaks. Tighten any
connections that are loose.
5. Start tractor/skid steer and check hydraulic oil leaks
with a piece of paper or cardboard. Do not use your
hands as invisible thin streams of high pressure oil
can be injected into your skin.
6. Inspect hydraulic hose for pinch points that can
damage the hose during operation and for sufficient
length and equipment clearances. See “Equipment
Clearances” on page 10.
7. Check all controls and operating functions of the
tractor/skid steer.
Trip Edge Blade Functions
Raising & Lowering The Trip Blade
Use tractor/skid steer arms to raise and lower the Trip
Blade. Often the arms are set to float so that the Trip
Blade can float over the terrain while riding on the skid
shoes.
Tilting the Trip Blade
Operate cylinders at the front of the tractor/skid steer
loader arms to tilt the Trip Blade forwards or backwards.
Do not tip the Trip Blade forward to apply down pressure
as this will cause the Trip Blade to ride up over the snow
and will trip the blade.
Angling the Trip Blade
Angle the Trip Blade to push product to the side by
operating the tractor/skid steer hydraulic lever. Move the
lever in one direction to push product to the left and in the
opposite direction to push product to the right. Release
the lever when the moldboard is at the preferred angle.
Switch male and female couplers on the hydraulic hoses
if lever action is opposite of what is preferred.

operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
1. Raise Trip Edge Blade to a safe traveling height that
does not block your view.
2. Lock blade oriented straight across with pivot control
pin (#1). See “Pivot Lock” instructions on page 14.
3. Set hydraulic flow to off or neutral to prevent
accidental lowering of the blade. Never adjust Trip
Blade while traveling.
4. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another.
5. Be sure to reduce ground speed when turning and
leave enough clearance so the blade does not
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
6. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
7. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over rough or
hilly terrain.
Operating Guidelines
Removing snow with your blade can be made easier by
following some simple guidelines.
• Allow any blade that is kept in warm storage to cool
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
before moving snow. Snow will freeze to a warm blade
making snow removal difficult.
Stay current with your snow removal. Fresh snow is
much easier to remove.
Push first snows far enough away to allow space for
future snow falls.
Do not overload equipment. Push only as much snow
as equipment can safely and easily handle. Snow that
has become deep and/or compacted may require
several passes.
Be aware of equipment overheating. Allow time for
equipment to cool if it is overheating.
Accelerate slowly when starting a pass to allow time for
tire traction and for snow to accumulate in front of the
blade.
Reduce speed when coming to the end of a pass and
when needed.
Never pile snow on someone else’s property, streets,
or sidewalks.
11/26/14
Plowing Snow
!
DANGER
Do not carry riders on/in the power equipment and/or on the
Trip Blade.
!
DANGER
Do not drive up to anyone standing in front of a fixed object
such as a wall or bench. Never assume the brakes will stop the
power equipment in time.
!
WARNING
Never allow anyone near the Trip Blade during operation.
!
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt when using the Trip Blade and lower
the seat bar if equipped with the skid steer. Not taking these
precautions can cause serious personal injury if the Trip
Blade was to come in contact with a solid object.
IMPORTANT: When pushing snow into a pile,
always do so with blade in the straight forward
position. Piling snow with the blade angled can
damage the blade and tractor/skid steer.
1. When possible, thoroughly inspect the area to be
plowed ahead of a snowfall. Otherwise, search the
area thoroughly for potential problems before moving
the snow.
a. Mark all potential obstructions with stakes or flags
that can be seen above the snow.
b. Identify emergency equipment and utility outlets
that will need quick access. Make a plan on how to
clear the area so that emergency crews can
access them quickly in the event of a storm.
c. Identify areas where snow can be piled safely
without obstructing traffic visibility and without
obstructing access to fire hydrants, utilities,
mailboxes, property, and parking areas. Also,
don’t pile snow on streets, sidewalks, or someone
else’s property without permission from the
proper authorities.
d. Identify tight areas that will be hard to turn around
in and make a plan for clearing such areas.
TB2596 & TB25108 Trip Blade 301-291M

Section 4: Operating Procedures
2. Adjust bottom of the skid shoes to be about 1/2"
below the blade cutting edge when on soft surfaces
such as gravel or dirt and even with the bottom
cutting edge when on hard surfaces such as asphalt
or concrete.
3. Unlock pivot assembly with pivot control pin (#1).
See “Pivot Lock” instructions on page 14.
4. Set tractor/skid steer lift arms to float so that the skid
shoes and blade can follow the contour of the
ground.
5. Set blade angle straight if pushing snow into a pile.
Set blade angle to the left or right if moving snow to
one side.
6. Lower blade down and drive forward. When at the
end of travel, raise blade up and back tractor/skid
steer up to get a new load of snow.
• Straight Blade: Push snow up into piles by setting
the blade straight and pushing the snow towards the
pile. Raise the blade up slowly while pushing the
snow onto the pile to make the pile higher and
bigger.
• Angling the Blade: Clear large lots of snow by
setting the blade at an angle and making a single
path through the lot. Then make successive passes
pushing the snow to the outer edges of the lot.
• Unmanageable Snow: Remove snow before it
accumulates too deep or becomes too wet. Wet
snow weighs around 12 lbs per cubic ft., and will
add several tons of weight to push. Deep snow is
heavy and unmanageable to move; both cost time
and wear on equipment.
Raise blade up to shear off the top 6" layer. Lower
blade 6" to clear off another layer. Continue
lowering blade until a working area is cleared. Then
work small areas making multiple passes pushing
snow to the outer edges. Use the following as a
guide line:
6" Snow: Use full blade width to push snow.
9" Snow: Use 3/4 blade width to push snow.
12" Snow: Use 1/2 blade width to push snow.
Unhooking the Blade
Refer to Figure 4-3:
1. Park tractor/skid steer with Trip Edge Blade on a flat
level solid surface.
2. Orient blade straight across and lock pivot assembly
to prevent sudden shifting of unit while working on or
around it. See “Pivot Lock” instructions on page 14.
3. Lower Trip Blade onto the surface. Place
transmission in park and set park brake.
4. Shut power equipment off, remove switch key, relieve
hydraulic pressure and wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop before dismounting.
5. Uncouple hydraulic hose fittings (#1 & #2) from the
tractor/skid steer. Store hose ends on the Trip Blade.
6. Pull lock handles up to remove pins from bottom slots
in hitch plate.
7. Tilt bottom of the tractor/skid steer hitch plate slightly
back towards the power equipment.
8. Slowly lower tractor/skid steer hitch until the top
angle bar and tractor/skid steer hitch have separated.
9. Back tractor/skid steer slowly away from the blade
making sure it does not interfere with Trip Blade hitch
plate and hydraulic hoses.

Section 4: Operating Procedures
General Operating Instructions
Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s
Manual, completed the operations checklist, and
properly attached your Land Pride TB2596 or TB25108
Trip Edge Blade to your tractor loader or skid steer
loader, you are now almost ready to begin work. The
TB2596 and TB25108 Trip Edge Blade were designed
and built by Land Pride for quick-attach adapter plate
front mounting to 30 to 80 hp tractors or skid steers
equipped with remote hydraulic outlets. They are ideal
for snow removal as well as lighter dirt leveling, finish
grading, and backfilling applications around feedlots,
outdoor arenas, building sites, and smaller gravel
spreading operations on farm and ranch lanes or
roadways. They are also excellent for pushing livestock
feed such as shelled or ground corn or silage. Hopefully,
you have checked out your work site for any obstacles
that you wouldn’t want to damage or encounter. Marking
stakes should be placed to help you avoid obstacles
buried in the snow or to help establish push-back limits
for snow piles.
The TB2596 and TB25108 front mounted blades have
Trip-Edge protection designed in to provide an added
measure of safety. Should you strike an immovable
object in your path, the bottom edge of the blade
immediately releases and tilts rearward until you are
clear of the obstacle. When the obstacle is passed over,
the blade will automatically reset itself to working
position. Because of the potential to encounter buried
obstacles in the snow, Land Pride insists that all
operator’s of these blades wear seat belts for their own
personal safety.
If you have the blade set at an angle, the accumulated
snow or material will begin to move outward toward the
trailing edge of the blade. The greater the angle the more
quickly the accumulation will be distributed off to the side.
When pushing snow or aggregate materials into a pile, it
is usually best to raise the blade at the last minute in
order to push the upper portion of the pile even further
back. Ground speeds for snow removal functions are
best done at an approximate 2 to 4 mph ground speed.
Becoming proficient with a front blade takes some
practice. Tractor or skid steer horsepower, your personal
skill level, depth, and weight of the snow, traction
conditions, 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.
Develop a plan to achieve your expected results. Set the
blade up at the proper angle to do the job. This may
require some experimentation to achieve the desired
results. Remember that this blade is designed for forward
operation only.
With a little practice you should become a very good
operator and consistently achieve the desired results you
expect with your Land Pride TB25 Series Trip Edge
Blade. See the “Features and Benefits” section or the
“Product Specifications” section for additional
information and performance enhancing options.

Trip Hinge Movement
(Skid shoes and hitch not shown for clarity)
Figure 5-3
Trip Hinge Maintenance
Refer to Figure 5-3:
!
CAUTION
Never work under the Trip Edge Blade without properly
blocking it up first. The unit can fall resulting in serious injury
or death.
!
CAUTION
Always lock pivot assembly when working on or around the
Trip Blade. An unlocked blade can suddenly rotate clockwise
or counterclockwise causing personal injury.
NOTE: The Trip Blade could be damaged if it will
not trip or has tripped and will not reset. See
“Jammed Trip Blade” on this page if it will not reset
itself.
At the start of each season, check blade hinge
movement to ensure the pivot rods have not seized.
1. Park tractor/skid steer with Trip Edge Blade on a flat
level solid surface. Lock blade oriented straight
across with pivot control pin (#4) and hairpin
cotter (#9).
2. Lower hitch frame onto solid support blocks with
blade supported off the ground.
3. Place transmission in park and set park brake.
4. Shut tractor/skid steer off, remove switch key, and
relieve all hydraulic pressure before dismounting.

TB2596 & TB25108 Trip Blade 301-291M
5. Remove lock nuts (#7) and bolts (#6) until all four
spring assemblies (#10) are detached at the bottom
from blade (#1). Be careful not to lose lower spring
mount spacers (#3).
6. Move hinged blade (#1) fully forward and backward
by hand.
a. If blade does not move, spray penetration oil into
the hinge joints and work blade back and forth
until it moves freely.
b. If blade still does not move, remove lock nuts (#8)
and screws (#5) from both sides of the blade. Pull
pivot rods (#2) partway out to free up hinge
movement. Work blade back and forth until it
moves freely. Apply white lithium based spray
lubricant to the pivot rods (#2) and then reinsert
them into the hinge barrels. Secure rods in place
with 3/8"-16 x 1" GR5 hex flange screws (#5) and
hex flange lock nuts (#8). Tighten nuts to the
correct torque.
7. Reassemble spring assemblies (#10) to the hinged
blade (#1) with 1/2"-13 x 6 1/8" GR5 hex flange
screws (#6), lower spring mount spacers (#3) and
hex flange lock nuts (#7). Draw nuts up to rib. Do not
over tighten or spring assembly may not rotate
properly.
8. Apply white lithium based spray lubricant to the
hinge joints to help keep moisture out.
9. Raise blade up and remove support blocks.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
Jammed Trip Blade
!
DANGER
Stay away from a blade that has tripped and will not reset
itself. Do not attempt to free the blade by hand as the blade
can suddenly spring back due to the high spring return load.
!
DANGER
Do not disassemble blade and springs while springs are
compressed. Each spring can store over 1000 lbs. The sudden
release of this force can cause great bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: If blade will not reset itself after
backing-up, have a qualified service technician repair
the unit. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
With proper maintenance and under normal operating
conditions, the blade should always return to its
operating position after tripping. Stay away from the
blade if it has not returned. Do not pull debris from the
blade hinge or attempt to work on the blade to free a
bound area.
Penetrating oil can be sprayed on the hinge to help free
blade movement. Be sure to keep a safe distance away
from the blade’s rotational path and blade hinge while
spraying.
Try resetting the blade by lowering it to the ground and
backing up with the tractor/skid steer. Do not catch the
blade on a solid object while backing up as this can
damage the blade and blade hinge.
Perform maintenance on the blade after it has reset itself
to keep the blade from becoming jammed again. See
“Trip Hinge Maintenance” on this page for instructions.
Hydraulics
!
WARNING
Always secure the Trip Edge Blade with solid supports before
working under it. Never work under equipment supported by
hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are
actuated or if a hydraulic line burst. Either situation can drop
machinery instantly even when power to the hydraulics is off.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor/
skid steer's reservoir remains free of dirt and
contamination. These simple maintenances will go a
long way to prevent occurrence of hydraulic problems:
4. Inspect quick couplers, make sure they are fully
engaged. Replace couplers if they are sized wrong.
5. Inspect hydraulic hoses and cylinder for oil leaks.
Tighten or replace components to fix leaks.
Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the blade when parking it for long periods and when
parking it at the end of a working season. This will help
ensure the blade is ready for field use the next time you
hook-up to it.
!
WARNING
Always secure the Trip Edge Blade with solid supports before
working under it. Never work under equipment supported by
hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are
actuated or if a hydraulic line burst. Either situation can drop
machinery instantly even when power to the hydraulics is off.
1. Remove any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the blade and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of blade and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
3. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. Paint is 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.
Land Pride Aerosol Touch-up Paint
Part No.

4. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
5. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower blade
area to minimize oxidation while in storage.
6. To protect against sizing, lubricate moving parts as
noted in “Lubrication Points” starting on page 22.
7. Store blade on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer blade life.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 16 when
disconnecting tractor from blade.
1. Replace your tractor/skid steer’s hydraulic filter
element at the prescribed intervals.
2. Inspect tractor/skid steer hydraulic oil level. Add oil if
it is low.
3. Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor/skid steer.
