It can also slide from side to side, making it possible for the operator to see drum surfaces, sprinkler nozzles and drum edges. “Sliding and turning is all done with one handle, as opposed to numerous ones like other rollers I have run,” said operator Stanley Yeadon. “You can instantly slide over and get on point. It’s effortless.”
