Hydraulic folding flat rollers

[Matt77]

Yes, have a dalbo set here and really like them. Follows the ground very well and speeds the job up no end.

I see they have gone up about 3k since we got ours though

I've inherited a set of maxiroll 630, no book, what's the correct setting's for weight transfer do you know, they looked like they were doing a job, but with a small flick of the spool they looked wrong, could really tell when rolled a new seed in, so I'm just guessing, but wondered if someone knew the correct setup.

Yeah you alter the pressure on the wings using the double acting spool, there should be a mark on the pressure gauge to line up, when working the most important thing is to have both spools in float

Does the pressure need setting after every fold up? And how many spools are on it? Tried googling a few videos but not getting answers!

These are good rollers

Yes but it's nothing really, 2 spools - 1 single 1 double acting.

Thanks, I don’t think I had them in float, not I remember anyways, I’ll give that a try in the spring

You have to pressurise and then put to float

Tallis amos has these in stock

Is there a trick to getting them to fold out properly? When wings are fully folded out the single acting will get the middle roller onto the ground but wont pull it over, need to pressurise the wings for it to come over or am i missing a trick?

I sometimes use a set of NRH ring rolls and find it easier on the unfolding to just pull forward to help put them into position. Is that what you're having a problem with?

Yeh just pull forward slightly at the same time
