Foozerush 40 #1 Posted April 19, 2012 Hey all.... A co-worker has asked me to roll her lawn for her.... Is there some pointers on the correct way to roll it? I'm not trying to sound dumb, but last time I rolled the lawn was 30 some years ago with my father telling me where to go.... Her lawn is near perfect, but she claims it's bumpy.... Should I have her turn her sprinkler on day before to soften the ground first? Any tips would be appreciated!! Can't wait to get some seat time on my 416-8!!

6wheeler 641 #2 Posted April 19, 2012 I've rolled around my yard plenty of times :beer: :tools-hammer: .I would have her wet it very well the day before. Or do it after it rains.Then wait awhile so it isn't muddy. Then happy rolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foozerush 40 #4 Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks for the reply gentlemen. Figured the ground wet might help with the rolling. After I was finished mowing tonight I played around with comparing speed on low/high fast throttle and near idle on the 416, figure finding a decent slow speed will not be hard to find... Thanks again.... Fooze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IthacaJeff 151 #5 Posted April 20, 2012 What size roller are you using -- that is, amount of weight? Anybody want to chime in on the minimum effective weight? Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 641 #6 Posted April 21, 2012 I think mine full of water is around 300 Lbs. Squishes the mole highways well after rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
