Subject: Building a field roller, any ideas? Plans?


Navarre, OH
Hello to all, this winter I am planning on building a roller for some of our fields, I would like to make it 20ft wide and have some sort of way to make it narrow for transport. I am going to take a look at some of them at the farm science review in Columbus this fall. Just curious if anyone has built one on their own? Any input is appreciated! Thanks

East Central MN

Our farm has built 2 of them, both 33 feet, one a 3 roller, one a 2 roller. I would think one like the 2 roller design would work well. Ours has 36" rollers 5/8" thick. The 2 roller one weighs upwards of 18000 lbs. It can push a basketball size rock into the ground. Granted we are conventional tillage.

Harms company has some 24" rollers which are under 20K. Company is in MN. I have rented from a neighbor I they seem as good but we really have no rocks.
