ABSTRACT:
An improved groove-type roller for use in combination with a mower of the type including a cutting reel is disclosed. The groove-type roller includes a roller body having contacting edges separated by inner recesses wherein the contacting edges and inner recesses are designed so that no portion of the surface of the roller body opposes another portion of the surface of the roller body. The lifting roller further includes first and second sealed bearings mounted to first and second ends of the roller body. An elongated shaft extends through the entire length of the roller body and engages each of the first and second sealed bearings. The shaft is provided for mounting the groove-type roller to the mower. The sealed bearings are provided for interfacing the shaft with the roller body to permit rotation of the roller body with respect to the shaft. Preferably, the roller body is anodized treated aluminum to provide a hard surface that will resist mushrooming.
