at a safe speed of 3 to 5 MPH. Allow room to make
wide turns or lift the unit out of the ground to make
sharp turns. Make wide turns when:
• 3-Point Type: Always raise the Seed Bed Roller off
the ground before turning around at the end of a run
and when making sharp corners.

the roller on the ground. The Seed Bed Roller is
designed for working soil while traveling forward only.
Damage to the frame may occur.
4. It is best to cross ditches straight on, to make full
roller contact with the soil.
