A roller assembly including: a frame; a first undercarriage connected to the frame, the first undercarriage comprising: a first body; a rear roller connected to the first body; and a first overlapping roller that is elongate and connected to the first body; and a second undercarriage connected to the frame, the second undercarriage comprising: a second body; a front roller connected to the second body; and a second overlapping roller that is elongate and connected to the second body, wherein the first undercarriage is positioned adjacent to the second undercarriage such that the first overlapping roller overlaps the second overlapping roller.

A roller driven by an engine through a reversible gearbox that is engaged via a belt or chain by a clutch that engages and disengages the belt base on changes in the engine RPM.

A roller apparatus (102) is provided including roller means (104), drive means (110) for driving rotation of the roller means in use, and an electrical power source for providing electrical power to the drive means in use. The electrical power source is provided by one or more batteries (112) located internally of the roller means.

A turf roller can include a chassis, a roller assembly supporting the chassis, the roller assembly including a roller, a first actuator operably connected to the roller and configured to control an angular position of the roller, a second actuator operably connected to the roller and configured to rotationally drive the roller, and an operator station supported by the chassis, the operator station including a single input member controlling the output to both the first and second actuators to provide directional and speed control for the drive the turf roller.
