What varieties of burrs will the Sticker Burr Roller pick up?
The Sticker Burr Roller is very effective at picking up most anything with a slight burr. The specific varieties that have pulled in the most positive reviews are: Burr Clover, Sand Burrs, Grass Burrs, and the infamous Puncturevine (Goat Head) - the burr that was the driving force behind the amazing Sticker Burr Roller Push Model invention. We understand that every burr/seed picked up can prevent up to 500 new plants in seasons to come.We also have an amazing tool that is designed to clip on to most any Pitchfork, making it easy to get under and remove the plants. When you combine this tool with our Roller, you have a complete burr removal solution.
How often would you recommend replacing the Conveyor Screen and the Sleeved Foam Roller?
With typical residential use, your Conveyor Screen and Sleeved Foam Roller should last around a year. Please be aware that they can both be damaged by rolling over sharp objects or if stored out in the direct, hot sun and weather.Why is the Residential Push Model so light weight?
The Residential Push Model was intentionally designed to be 10 pounds, due to its propensity to sink in sandy soil. We realize there is some terrain, like hard soil or heavy foliage, that requires more weight/pressure. This can easily be accomplished by strapping workout ankle weights to the side bars of the Roller. It can handle up to 10 pounds per side. There are workout ankle weights with individual 1 pound weights that can be added or removed from the ankle weight strap to create the perfect amount of pressure for your specific situation.Do you have a wider model?
The Sticker Burr Roller Residential Push Model is the first of many models to be released. It was specifically designed to be the perfect width for residential garden areas. Many customers have had great success creating a wider model by zip tying two or three Push Models together to create 24 or 36 inch wide Push Models. When creating these wider Rollers, we recommend strapping workout ankle weights to the center bars that were zip tied together, as well as both outside bars.We also have a 4 foot wide Pull Behind Model that is designed to be attached by tow bar to anything with a hitch. It can be utilized as a stand alone unit, or teamed up with other units to create a wider or longer burr removal path.
We are looking to release a 3rd Model, our Garden Push Model, that is 18 inches wide, very soon
Does the Roller work on rocks/gravel?
The Sticker Burr Roller is not very effective on rocks/gravel, as it can only pick up the surface burrs and not the burrs between or under the rocks/gravel.Our Story

Happy trails!
Several years ago my wife and I moved into a home with our 5 children and our yard was overrun by sticker burrs/goat heads. It didn’t take long before our carpet was peppered with burr stickers. Never did it fail in the middle of the night or just plain walking around the house, that we would encounter the piercing pain of one or serval of these goat head stickers.
Being extremely frustrated, I thought to myself, how do I get rid of these goat heads forever?
So I decided to focus on a solution. I tried everything from burning to shop vacuuming, but nothing really worked. I dedicated months and months of different experiments. I now can proudly say that after several years, I feel confident that I have created a tool that works. I have many many happy customers and I am confident that this tool is here to stay!
And so I present to you, a solution I have designed, manufactured, tested and approved, we call it The Sticker Burr Roller and it’s now available for purchase!

WHAT IS THE STICKER BURR ROLLER?
You can find puncture plants all over the world. They come from the Puncturevine Tribulus Terrestris plant, this is a low growing grass-like weed, that germinates in August as the monsoon season comes through, and they will grow until frost in the late fall. This is when the sticker burr roller does its best work By collecting and disposing of the weed seed ensuring the bur seed will never reproduce. Goat heads are known for being difficult to destroy. Thanks to the sticker bur roller destroying sticker burr seeds, weeds, and more are easy, safe and it works!
