Default Finally, the lawn is rolled!

I was out till after 9 PM the other night and finished with help last evening. Local guy makes those rollers out of old propane tanks. Around 1000 lbs if fully loaded with water. I leave it down about 8 inches. It's tough on my Wheeler. Have not dared to try it behind one of the SGT's. I bet a Kubota would handle the roller real nice... I'll tell the wife. Alls I'll get is

Cool roller. Now educate us Southerners why you roll your yard. Frost heave or something? I got a roller that is about 20-30 gallons--it has a handle so you can hand roll it. I did used it after they put a new roof on the house to mash down any nails that got missed--I went over the yard 3x's with a BIG rolling magnet first. FWIW I used a couple clevis so I could hook the roller behind dad's 100.

Steve, of that 4 wheeler will pull it, you don't need a SGT. Your cubs will jerk that roller around with ease. Actually that's hard on the slip clutch in your 4 wheeler..... they aren't tractors.

John,
Yes, frost heave leaves the ground very rough. Plus, bugs, moles and the like do too. Very narrow window of opportunity to roll when it is most effective. Ground is softest in the spring, shortly after the thaw, but after it has dried once. The window here is long gone. Not to say you can't use a roller later, but it isn't as effective.

I agree that the Cubs would do a better job pulling the roller and be easier to maneuver. I'm pretty sure that Polaris uses a CVT and most of the abuse would be on the belt. I don't pull anything heavier than the log splitter with mine.

Your right. I didn't pay any attention to what brand it was.

Steve - what's the local guy get for one? I've always wanted to make one, but have never gotten around to doing it. Probably should just buy one and be done with it.

The wheeler pulls the roller well, just all the independent rear suspension makes it tough in the turns. Plus it is light in the arse end. I have the SGT rear brackets on the 2182. I need to weight it up and see how it pulls it. E-mail sent, Doc.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
