Can I also suggest an exchangeable roller with
aeration tines? |
|

Why not 2? One for each purpose. Much better. |

Incidentally, is this a British hundredweight, or one of
those cheaper American hundredweights? |

There is evidence that both long and short hundredweights
were in use in England in the 1300s... finally the long
hundredweight was officially cast out in 1985.
20 hundredweights of your choosing made the equivalent
ton, tonne, whatever. |

Shall we change our lawn roller to some number of stones? |

Gone, but not forgotten. Ask any Englishman over
the age of 40 what a hundredweight is, and they'll
tell you it's 112 pounds. It's also, conveniently, very
nearly 50kg. |

Cool, it would work for making a putting green as well, me

The University purchased a new bell 5 years ago, and the supplier specified it as 3cwt 2qtr 16lb, so I'm not sure where the idea that it had been cast out came from. Perhaps it's like the way you can't buy liquids by the pint any more? |
