    making a new frame for my roller. how would a lad get the bend on the top of a roller. e.g. if you look at this ad its the part in the middle bending around the top of the from and where the top link of a tractor would connect on to.

    It doesn't have to be round.

    I think it would look better/ more original.

    Depends on the make. Some of them have a square frame on top that you could throw the odd stone on

    I presume it's done with rollers, I'd say heating would take an age as would cutting a multitude of small mitred pieces.

    Forget it. Full of water close back window and drive like you stole it to the field. That's how we move the roller anyway.

    How are the bolts going through the bearing? Up through it from the bottom or through the side?

    I tried lifting mine and bent the frame, I don't think they are supposed to be lifted full but then again I've been wrong before.

    If it's only a mile I wouldn't bother trying to lift it
