Product Information
Full details
The Handy THGR92P Poly Body Garden Roller is designed for homeowners with lawns who need to achieve a professional, flat finish, especially after seeding or aeration. Its key benefit is the large 92cm working width, significantly reducing the time needed for rolling. A potential caveat is that it requires a ride-on mower or garden tractor for towing. This durable roller features a robust steel frame and a tough poly drum, offering substantial weight when filled with water or sand for effective compaction.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight the roller can achieve?
When filled with water, the roller can weigh up to 135kg. When filled with sand, it can reach a maximum weight of 180kg.
How do I attach the roller to my lawn tractor?
The roller attaches via a hitch pin. Connect it to the rear hitch point of your ride-on mower or garden tractor.
Can I use this roller manually?
No, this roller is designed to be towed behind a garden tractor or ride-on mower. It is not intended for manual pushing.
What is the drum capacity?
The poly roller drum has a capacity of 152 liters.
How do I clean the roller?
Rinse the drum and frame with water. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
What is the working width of the roller?
The working width is 92cm, which is equivalent to 36 inches.
What material should I use to fill the roller?
You can fill the roller with either water or sand. Water provides a moderate weight, while sand allows for a heavier rolling effect.
Troubleshooting
Roller is not being pulled evenly by the tractor.
Check that the hitch pin connection is secure and that the roller is centered behind the tractor. Ensure the tractor's towing hitch is compatible and level.
Difficulty filling or emptying the drum.
Ensure the drain plugs are fully removed or loosened. For sand, use a wide funnel or shovel carefully. If emptying water, ensure the exit point is clear.
Uneven rolling effect on the lawn.
Verify that the drum is filled evenly with the chosen weight material (water or sand). Ensure the tractor is driven at a consistent speed.
Poly drum appears to be damaged.
Inspect the drum for cracks or significant abrasions. Avoid overfilling with excessively heavy materials or operating in conditions that could cause impact damage.
Pros and Cons

- Built with durable materials (steel frame, poly drum) for long-term use.
- Adjustable weight allows for customized lawn rolling intensity.
- Simple to attach and operate with existing garden tractors or ride-on mowers.
- Designed for ease of use with accessible drain plugs.
Cons
- Requires a ride-on mower or garden tractor for operation; not suitable for manual pushing.
- Storage space may be required when not in use.
- Potential for drum damage if overfilled with heavy materials or subjected to extreme force.
- Effectiveness depends on having a suitable towing vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attach the roller to your garden tractor or ride-on mower using the provided hitch pin attachment point.
- Ensure the connection is secure before filling the drum.
Compatibility:
- This roller is designed to be towed behind most garden tractors and ride-on mowers equipped with a standard hitch pin.
- It is not designed for manual operation or attachment to ATVs or other vehicles not intended for lawn care.
Care:
- Filling: Use the two drain plugs to fill the poly drum with water or sand. For water, attach a hose to one plug and allow air to escape from the other. For sand, shoveling or using a funnel is recommended.
- Emptying: Open the drain plugs to empty the contents. Water will drain relatively quickly; sand may require tilting or some manual assistance.
- Cleaning: After use, rinse the poly drum and steel frame with water. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the poly drum.
- Storage: Store the roller in a dry, protected area when not in use to prevent damage from weather or prolonged exposure to sunlight. Ensure the drum is fully emptied before long-term storage to prevent freezing damage in cold climates or moisture buildup.
