Here's my beast! Her mpg is amazing, and she is zero emissions, just can't pull a great deal!

Interesting to hear the arguments against flat rollers/ for ringed rollers (=Cambridge Rolls)

Dad owned both, the Cambridge rolls were used on the Spring Barley ground and indeed on the sprouted Barley, if I remember correctly.

A flat roller was always used on the grassland.

However here in N I , I suspect a ringed roller would not work on our generally wetter grassland as even a flat roller quite often accumulates mud.

Scraper bars being a common fitment.

The rings would definately therefore clog up.

Cambridge grassland may well be drier and different (on chalk? perhaps)

Ring rolls used on arable land straight after drilling.. Flat roll can cause capping and water logging....

Flat roll used on grass..

If you don't flat roll you notice diff in yield

Load and a half of logs

 

 

I like that setup.

Would like to see the video of you reversing it into the shed

[welsh wood]

you would first use a chain harrow on grassland to tare out moss and level off any mole hills,

this would also drag stones out of the ground, you would then flat roll them back into the

ground. This is to avoid damage to forage machinery,if you have ever used a two drum mower to mow hay and a it fires a stone into the cab you'll know what I'm talking about,

it comes in like a scud missile.

I can reverse four wheelers and I like to think I'm a bit good at it too.

Couldn't do that though.
