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 16,000 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 16,000 lb. Minimum tractor
engine horsepower is 125. 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 2000 lb of tongue weight during transport and field op-
eration.
4. Park tractor and Land Roller on a firm level surface with enough open area that will allow unfolding
Land Roller without contacting obstructions.
5. Unhook Hitch Pivot Safety Lock Chains. Hook Chains onto storage Rings located on the main
hitch. Open pivot lock hydraulic valve.
6. Operate tractor hydraulics from operator station only. Do not allow anyone to stand near the Land
Roller when folding or unfolding. Do not raise or lower Land Roller when implement is moving.
7. Place tractor in Neutral as the folding procedure may cause the tractor to roll.
8. Activate the lift cylinder hydraulic valve. Lower the machine completely to the ground; fully retract
lift cylinders so wheels rise off the ground.
9. 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.
