Pasture & Paddock Rolling
Paddock Rolling is usually carried out in the spring once the weather has started to dry up. Flat ballasted rollers are for established grassland.
During flat rolling, the grass is compressed, which makes it spread out, creating a thicker sward and preventing helping to prevent weeds from appearing. Flattening uneven ground, created by livestock, tractors and vehicles can be removed. We usually carry out paddock rolling after harrowing which helps push any stones back into the field that has been pulled up by the harrows.
Our Ballast roller is a top of the range Watson RH336 which is 3m wide & weighs 4,100kg to ensure the field gets left as flat as possible. It is also fitted with hydraulic rear wheels for transport meaning we can be quicker moving between fields at the pull of a lever.
Ground conditions
Ground conditions mustn’t be too wet to avoid damage to the ground caused by tractors. Dry conditions will not give the full benefit of either process, so timing is crucial. Please note due to the width of the roller we do require 12ft gateways as access to fit the roller through.
