Does what it is supposed to
By C. Wenk
This is the heaviest roller that I found that can be pushed/pulled by hand, not with a tractor. I rototilled my entire backyard to sow new grass seed. This left the lawn very bumpy and uneven. I smoothed it out as much as possible with a wide metal rake, then rolled with this roller. It definitely helped compact the soil and set the seed in good contact with the soil, but it is just not heavy enough to really smooth out high spots. This is true even though it was only working on loose dirt. It would likely be less effective on an established lawn. It does does what it is supposed to, roll about 230 lbs across your lawn, but don't expect it to do the job of a 600lb roller.

lawn roller is OK
By TN Rupp
The roller works well for a tow behind an ATV or garden tractor which is what I use it for. It seems to be well made and assembly was easy. The option they give you to use with a handle is not the best but I was able to modifiy and pushing/pulling works good but a lot more work. All in all I would purchase again.

Good product - Easy to Assemble - non-thread Plugs work well
By C. Smith
I ordered the Precision Poducts PLR 1824 Lawn Roller from Amazon on Monday (Oct 17) with an Estimated receive date of Oct 25, but I received it on Thursday (Oct 20) -- amazing. Just keep waiting and maybe you can get it for free in a year or so ($114 when I bought it, was $112 a couple of days ago and is down to $111 today as I write this Oct 24, 2011 review -- going down $1-$2 a week -- OK, just kidding about free, but the shipping was free.)The product was easy to assemble, except for the lock nuts. They weren't kidding when they called them lock nuts because after huffing and puffing to get them threaded on tightly, I am convinced that they will "never come off". Never seen anything like it in the USA -- must be that German engineering.I was at first disappointed when I saw the size of the water hole, which was barely large enough to accomodate a hose. I thought once I get the thing filled up, it would take a couple of hours to drain. Then I discovered that there was a water hole on each side which alleviated my draining concerns. Really no big deal anyway, because I will fill the darn thing up and not bother to drain it until I am finished with it (which is for use in installing a new lawn).I was originally going to go with the Brinly lawn roller, but there were many complaints about the threads on the water holes on the Brinly -- and I didn't see any such complaints on this model. I'm wondering if it was a Brinly I rented form Home depot a couple of years ago because the water plug on that unit was threaded and was a bear to get on and off. The water plug(s) on this unit are in fact just a plain rubber stopper with a bolt/screw in the middle that you tighten to compress the stopper, which expands the diameter of the stopper in order to provide a tight water seal. Very, very easy to install and it works great.The packing box was not very good, but there is not much you can damage on this unit. Your kid could assembly the thing with the exception of tightening the lock nuts. Contains a handle for pushing and pulling around -- or without the handle, can be hooked to a lawn tractor (lynch pin included).The product works as it should although it is a little tough pushing uphill -- glad I didn't get the 36" guy (which I probably would have if I could have found one with a handle).Not much else I can say. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a 24" lawn roller.P.S. Don't know where the Round Rock Reader came from -- will have to look into that.
