It is a well made roller, although the tongue could be longer so you can make shorter turns without getting it into you wheels of whatever you pull it with. The only complaint is after rolling my yard twice, the paint is already flaking off.

I’ve only rolled my lawn once with this new roller, with no issues. But who knows how long that will be the case, the welds on the roller are pathetic, Im not optimistic about how long this roller will last, I’ve seen other reviews that show water actually leaking out of the welds after one use. I don’t think it’s worth the money.

All you complaining about welds at axle, those caps are not meant to be water tight, it is basically a dust cover for the axle bushings, and there will be of course some water leakage around those bushings, that is how they are lubricated. It was never meant to be air/water tight. You would have to be using it for hours to notice any real water loss, easy to add and drain. Nice product.

Went to purchase the Ohio Steel 52 inch lawn roller at the Lockport, NY Tractor Supply store. Looking at the rollers the welds were of very poor quality with some even having cracks in the welded seems ! Not worth the $399.00 price!!!!
