By now you should have read the operator’s manual and
familiarized yourself with all of the possible applications
and mounting instructions for your Land Pride Seed Bed
Roller. You should now also be familiar with
recommended safety and maintenance procedures. It’s
time to put your new Seed Bed Roller to work. Whether
you have a three-point hitch mounted model or a pull-
type, it will be important to maintain a ground speed
below 7 miles per hour. Driving faster than 7 mph can
result in causing your roller to bounce and not deliver the
surface finish and seed to soil contact required for
maximum germination. It is also best to avoid sharp turns
if you want to maintain a uniform finish. The soil should
have a very dry texture to it when rolling seed into firmer
contact with the soil. Wet or sticky soil will build up on the
roller only to be scraped off and deposited on the surface
in non-uniform clumps by the roller scrapers. If you are
rolling to press seed down in an Overseeding application
on pasture or turf grass, it is also important to wait till the
grass is dry to avoid accumulations of seed build up
sticking to the roller.
If you are transporting a pull-type Seed Bed Roller from
one location to another, it is important to remember that
the 10" transport wheels are for low speed use and
therefore a 10 mph top transport speed should not be
exceeded. It is also important to note that in the transport
mode you have approximately 5" of ground clearance so
take care not to drive over larger rocks, debris, and
protruding tree roots. Never pull onto hard surfaces or
paved areas with the roller on the ground or excessive
wear and damage may occur. The Land Pride Seed Bed
Roller is a very user friendly attachment and with a little
practice you should begin to achieve professional results
in no time at all. See Specifications and Feature Benefits
sections on pages 19 & 20 for additional information.
