SECTION 3 – OPERATION
LAND ROLLER FIELD OPERATION:
1. If Land Roller is in Transport Position, follow “Steps Required to Unfold Land Roller from Transport
2. Choose an operating speed which achieves desired results. Operating at over 7 MPH will decrease
effectiveness and increase chance of immovable rocks denting roller tube.
Denting of roller tube
is NOT covered by warranty.
STEPS REQUIRED TO FOLD FROM FIELD TO TRANSPORT POSITION:
1. WARNING: Land Roller must be attached directly to tractor drawbar and not an intermediate
towed vehicle or implement. Loss of control could result causing serious injury or death to you or
others. Never tow this implement with less than an 16,000 lb vehicle.
2. The Summers Land Roller must be connected to a tractor drawbar with a locked draw pin. The
tractor drawbar must be able to withstand 2000 lb of tongue weight during transport and field op-
eration.
3. Park tractor and Land Roller on a firm level surface with enough open area that will allow folding
Land Roller without contacting obstructions. Operate tractor hydraulics from the operator station
only. Do not allow anyone to stand near the Land Roller when folding or unfolding.
4. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT to raise machine into transport position if mud has built up
on rollers or if machine weight has been increased by any other means.
5. Activate the hitch cylinder hydraulic valve. Fully cycle the pivot cylinders until the Land Roller no
longer rotates. During rotation the entire Land Roller may move to the right side of the tractor.
The tractor may also roll.
6. Activate the lift cylinder hydraulic valve. Raise machine completely fully extending lift cylinders
so the rollers rise off the ground.
7. Install Hitch Pivot Safety Lock Chains and close pivot lock hydraulic valve.
