    What is the main difference between the two rollers. Looks as if there is a wide gap between the rings in the first link, while the second link the rings are much tighter together no gaps

    Is the first suitbale for tillage, do the teeth come together to give a nice flat roll

    Thank

    Looks like 2 totaly different types of disc...? 2nd looks more like for consolidation while 1st is for crumbling sods tbh, has a sharper edge to it.

    Would you think the first roller is more suitable before you would sow?

    The second more suitable after sowing?

    Hard to explain, depends on type of land/ type of finish you want/personal preference tbh, personaly we use flat rings as it keeps moisture in the soil by packing the top few mm's... this can keep out some rainfall as run off. That 1st set would leave a fine finish not overly packed in but will loose moisture faster.

    Up in county louth.

    At the minute we just have a water filled land roller.

    Have looked at one similar to the first one, wasnt sure whether it would be suitable

    Have you seen anyone using similar type

    Ay, get rid of the roller fast!!, unless your on sand its doin more harm then good imo... cant say i've ever seen the first on many ring-rollers, usualy more like the second model kind of smooth/ridged formation or smooth rings they're what we have as we cover a lot of light shaley type land.. If your covering heavy land the model your looking at might work well alright!, id keep an eye on donedeal etc, you'll pick up one cheaper than the ones you were looking at ;). We baught our current r-roller for small money, changed out the bearings and shaft for a heavier duty type and took the draw bar off lift arms and added a hydraulic ram to add/remove down ward pressure and improve ground clearence when packed in and added fat tyres for about half the money of a new/top of the range model. Bit of grease and a coat of waste oil and she'll last us for a long time. Try not to hit too many larger stone 90 euro for new rings :eek:
