level of hazard seriousness. The
signal words are:
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is limited to the most
extreme situations, typically for
machine components that, for
functional purposes, cannot be
guarded.
!DANGER
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed
when guards are removed. It may also
be used to alert against unsafe

Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners. This Seed Bed Roller has been
designed with care and built by skilled workers using
quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance and
safe operating practices will help you get years of
satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The Land Pride SBR72 Three-point hitch or Pull-Type
Seed Bed Rollers have uses and applications in
landscaping, sports field maintenance, pasture
maintenance, professional turf care, general seeding
and overseeding applications around home sites,
construction sites, horse paddocks, nurseries, sod
farms, and small farm or ranch operations. These Seed
Bed Rollers will break up smaller clumps and dirt clods,
whilepressing appliedseed into firmcontact with thesoil
profile for greatly improved germination rates. The
notched profile of the rollers also develops a pattern of
uniformlyspaced mini-furrows that tendto hold seedand
fertilizer in place. These small furrows also retain
essential moisture, and resist erosion from the wind and
the runoff from applied irrigation or rain.
The Seed Bed Roller also can also serve as the roller
packer attachment of Land Pride’s complimented
Seeder/Overseedersystem.Thissystemiscomprisedof
a Land Pride Disc Harrow with a rear mounted Spin
Spreader and special hitch kit, a trailing 6’ x 4’ DRG06
Drag Harrow, and trailing Pull-type SBR72 Seed Bed
Roller. This componentized Seeder/Overseeder system
provides for one-pass ground cultivation and seed to soil
integration for applications on previously tilled soil,
existing pasture ground, large grassy areas, reclamation
sites, or wild game food plots.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 19 and
“Features and Benefits” on page 20 for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
