SECTION 3 – OPERATION
STEPS REQUIRED TO UNFOLD FROM TRANSPORT TO FIELD 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 20,000 lb. vehicle
2. Ability to safely operate the Summers Land Roller is determined by both tractor horsepower and
weight. The minimum tractor weight for operating this implement is 20,000 lb. Minimum tractor
engine horsepower is 180. Dual tires or single tires set at maximum width are required for safe
operation of the Land Roller.
3. The Summers Land Roller must be connected to a tractor drawbar with a locked draw pin. The
tractor drawbar must be able to withstand 3000 lb of tongue weight during transport and field
operation.
4. Park tractor and Land Roller on a firm level surface with enough open area that will allow unfold-
ing Land Roller without contacting obstructions.
5. Remove all cylinder locks and store in the provided storage locations. Remove safety latch on
rear transport frame, flip to the storage position.
6. Make sure the Landroller is following straight behind the tractor. Pull into the field straight and
far enough to back up the Land Roller without hitting any obstructions.
7. Pivot the rear wheel, pay attention to the indicator.
8. Back machine up slowly, maneuvering it so wings open evenly. If wings do not open evenly pull
ahead and try again.
9. Once the wings have opened up, continue backing until the wings are fully engaged in the wing
guides. If the wings are not opening up equally they will not engage the wing guides at the same
time. Pull ahead and make adjustments so both wings enter the wing guides at the same time.
