FAQs

The Sticker Burr Roller is a highly effective tool designed to remove sticker burrs, goat heads, and other prickly nuisances from your yard, gear, and pet fur quickly and easily. It's the ultimate solution to take the frustration out of burr removal.

The Sticker Burr Roller works on most types of burrs, including Burr Clover, Sand Burrs, Grass Burrs, and Puncturevine (Goat Heads). Each burr removed prevents up to 500 new plants from growing in the next season!

As you roll the device, its conveyor screen lifts burrs from the surface and deposits them into a catch tray. This ensures quick, effortless cleanup.

For best results: - Lightly rake the area first to bring buried burrs to the surface. - Roll over the affected area multiple times for thorough removal. - For terrain with heavy vegetation, you can use our pitchfork attachment to remove burr-covered plants before rolling. Adding ankle weights to the roller can also help with harder soils or thick foliage.

While the Roller is designed to pick up loose burrs, we recommend removing plants with green, non-ripe burrs using our pitchfork attachment first. This combination ensures complete removal.

The Roller can remove burrs on the surface of rocks or gravel but is less effective for burrs buried between or beneath them.

At just 10 pounds, the Residential Push Model prevents sinking into sandy soil. For added weight on tougher terrain, you can attach up to 10 pounds of ankle weights to each side of the Roller for increased pressure.

We offer multiple sizes to suit your needs: - Residential Push Model 1.0 (12 inches wide) and 2.0 (18 inches wide) for yards and gardens. - Pull-Behind Models 2 Piece, 3 Piece (each 4 feet wide) for larger areas, towable with a hitch.

With normal residential use, the conveyor screen and foam roller sleeve should last about a year. Avoid damage by storing indoors and keeping them away from sharp objects and direct sunlight.

The Roller does not have a fixed angle, making it adaptable for users of different heights—from children to individuals over 6 feet tall. Taller users operate it at a lower angle, while shorter users hold it at a steeper slant.

Your Sticker Burr Roller comes mostly assembled with a foam roller, catch basket, and glider screen. Some simple assembly is required, and easy-to-follow instructions are included.

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 the 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!

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.

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.

The Sticker Burr Roller Residential 1.0 Push Model is the first of many models to be released. It was specifically designed to be the perfect width (12 inches) for residential garden areas. In 2024 we released the 2.0 Push Model, and is designed for more coverage areas, with a width of 18 inches. 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.

Height is not an issue. We have gentlemen from 6 foot 4 inches tall to a child 3 feet tall running the Sticker Burr Roller. From a functionality standpoint, the Sticker Burr Roller does not have a set angle. As a result a shorter person would simply use it on more of a slant than a taller person would. The angle it is operated at is based on the height of the user.

We highly recommend plant removal with the green/non-ripe burrs, prior to Rolling for the remaining burrs. We have a tool that easily clips on to most any Pitchfork, making it easy to get under and remove the plant. The two techniques combined, create a complete burr removal solution.

The Sticker Burr Roller has a conveyor screen that rolls forward and meets a catching tray, dropping the stickers into the tray as it rolls back around. The parts that will eventually require replacement are the conveyor screen and the foam roller with sleeve.

We have found that lightly raking the burr area brings covered burrs to the surface. On highly infested areas, and where the burrs have heavy vegetation, it can take several pass overs, along with re-raking the area, to get as many burrs as possible. In addition, we have found that some terrain does require more weighted pressure. A very effective weight solution can be accomplished by adding ankle/wrist weight bands, with up to 10 lbs of pressure each, to the cross bar or the two side handle bars.

For the heavy vegetation areas, we have just created a tool to attach to a pitch fork that cuts the plant out at the base, preventing the vegetation from covering the burrs.
