Abstract:

Because of the spoke design, which reduces the number of field-installed bolts by almost one-half, this snow roller will be easier to assemble than previous models. The sections of the drum are slightly heavier than on past models because of the thicker skin. A manually-controlled front scraper was provided in preference to a rear-mounted fixed type. Thus the scraper is in full view of the tractor operator. The draw bar was redesigned to give a minimum turning radius. Author
