General Operating Instructions

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.
