Accessories
Combs and Brushes
Combs and brushes are designed to be mounted
behind the front.
Generally these devices are used to just make
contact with the grass after the roller has pressed it
down. This is to help stand the grass up for a more
uniform cut.
Brushes may also be in combination with scrapers
on front rollers.
Accessories
Roller Scrapers
Roller scrapers are designed to do just that, scrape
rollers. This is to keep grass clippings from building
up on the rollers, which can change the height of cut
during mowing.
Scrapers are set with a small clearance from the
roller. Note that affixing the scraper too close or on
the trailing side of rotation will cause them to trap
clippings, cause excessive wear to the roller or
increase rolling resistance binding the roller.
Accessories
Powered Rear Roller
Brushes
Powered rear roller brushes are also intended to
keep the rollers from collecting debris. The
difference is that these brushes help disperse the
debris and do an excellent job of cleaning up the
final appearance.
