Being big isn’t a benefit in itself, but the right kind of heavy can be. When a land roller has industry-leading pounds per foot, there’s a clear advantage – especially when it means getting more done without worrying about compaction. Summers Super Rollers average 530 pounds per foot, so it takes less effort to bust clods, push down rocks, manage residue and prepare the seedbed. Our rollers also only exert 3 psi on the ground (a farmer walking his field produces more than that) thanks to a large footprint.
When You Roll With Us, You Roll With:
More Weight
Thicker Drum Walls
Although they are beefy, land rollers take a beating. Which is why Summers constructs Super Roller drums to withstand the harshest field conditions. Available with 17/32-inch walls on 36-inch diameter rollers, and 9/16-inch walls on 42-inch rollers, rest assured that no matter how hard you are on equipment, our land rollers are up to the task.
Heavy Duty Transport Wheels
Land rollers need to be durable both on and off the field. That’s why our larger Trail-Type Rollers boast twin oscillating 6,100-pound capacity hubs with swivel brakes for unmatched robustness and maneuverability on the road.
The Benefit of Land Rollers
How Do They Help?
Push Rocks and Root Balls Into The Ground
Reduce debris uptake to minimize combine downtime and repair costs, and maximize yield by running the head closer to the ground.
Increase Seed-To-Soil Contact
Accelerate germination and generate uniform crop emergence.
Manage Residue
Break down tough corn stalks without tillage.
Renovate Pasture/Hay Land
Create a smoother soil profile and maximize seed-to-soil contact.
Boost Soybean Yields
Independent research has shown a reliable yield increase of at least 3 bushels per acre by rolling soybeans at V1-V2 stages.
Seed Cover Crops
Add a seeding system to your land roller to achieve better cover crop emergence than regular broadcast seeding.
Compaction? Not a Problem.
A human footstep exerts greater PSI (5 PSI) than an 84-foot land roller (3 PSI).
Even with minimal PSI, the FULL WEIGHT of the drum easily pushes rocks into the ground.
