SECTION 3 – OPERATION

LAND ROLLER FIELD OPERATION:
1. If Land Roller is in Transport Position, follow “Steps Required to Unfold Land Roller from Transport
to Field Position”, page 3-3.
2. When in field position, place Center Tilt Cylinder remote into float position. This will allow rollers
to self level.
3. 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: Never tow this implement with less than a 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 (2200 lb. for
50’) and 2000 lb tongue lifting force while folding in and out of transport position.
3. Park tractor and Land Roller on a firm level surface with enough open area that will allow folding
Land Roller without contacting obstructions. Land Roller height increases to:
MACHINE WIDTH FOLDING MAXIMUM MACHINE HEIGHT
41’ 17’
45’ 18’9”
50’ 21’6”
during fold and unfold sequence, insure that wings will not contact overhead obstructions. Operate
tractor hydraulics from the operator station only. Do not allow anyone to stand near 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. Fully extend Center Tilt cylinder, maintain hydraulic pressure an
additional 5 seconds to insure the cylinder and hoses are fully
charged with oil. Retract Center Tilt cylinder approximately 1/2”.
6. Raise wings with caution by retracting Wing Lift cylinders. Reduce
cylinder retract speed when wings are near transport position.
7. Fully retract Center Tilt cylinder, Wings will rotate forward and
must rest on Transport Cross Tube.
IMPORTANT: If Wings do not rest on Transport Cross Tube
or if there is additional cylinder stroke after Wings contact
Transport Cross Tube, follow “STEPS REQUIRED TO UN-
FOLD FROM TRANSPORT TO FIELD POSITION” page 3-3
and “PROCEDURE TO ADJUST CYLINDERS” page 3-6.
8. Install Wing Safety Lock Chains and close wing lock
hydraulic valve.
