The WeedRoller can easily roll over the smaller rocks and objects. The automatic reverser feature senses muck conditions and heavy weeds and reverses the rotation to eliminate getting stuck. After six reversals the unit will shut down.

The WeedRoller can be installed in up to 4 and a half feet of water at the drive head. Depth can be increased by 10 feet at the 21 foot distance from teh drive head.  Water depth can be increased in 2 and a half foot incremets. A maximum of two kits may be installed.

What are the holes at the end of the tubes used for?
The rollers must fill with water. It is best to plug the holes after they have filled. Plastic plugs are provided to prevent the rollers from accumulating sand and mud inside. Start out with the last tube one half full of air for the first few revolutions to make sure it doesnt burrow down.

We offer additional WeedRoller tubes.
