Smithco Tournament XL 7000 Greens Roller

Most frequently used by golf courses, greens rollers use weighted drums to roll over grass to extend the time between cuttings. Daily mowing places stress on the greens, strips the ground of moisture, and leaves the grass susceptible to disease. Smoother greens lead to the faster green speeds that are often favored by golfers. Rolling also reduces soil settling if done before seeding, and, when done frequently, decreases turf diseases such as dollar spot. Greens rollers are also regularly used to smooth putting surfaces following aeration or flatten the greens after fixing divots and ball marks.

Types & Specifications

Greens rollers come in riding and walk-behind versions and are often equipped with one to three rollers. Some machines run forward and back, while others move side to side. Weights can vary from as little as 59 kilograms (130 pounds) per roller to more than 725 kg (1,600 lbs) in machine weight. Courses use different weights according to the type and condition of their grass and the frequency with which they use the rollers.

Size Options

Greens rollers come in a variety of widths for use on different areas of a golf course. Walk-behind models can be as small as 61 centimetres (24 inches) while large, tow-behind models with multiple rollers can reach as far as 508 cm (200 in.) at a time, though most rollers range from around 127 to 190.5 cm (50 to 75 in) wide.
