Did you price the same style of roller as yours from Watson too. They will be dearer make won't they? Not necessarily better
Yes I think It was nearly 1k more

Do you remember how much it was? If your changing fields alot it will be a big time saver if your gates aren't that wide

We have one of the early Twose RotaRolls, can’t remember the price but it’s certainly very handy when doing all the little horse paddocks. Depressing in a 100acre field though.

To go any wider than ours I would want a split chassis for the rolls to cope with undulating pasture and looked at the Watson 6m folding at the time that weren't that much dearer accordingly by the foot but thought them too big for the hilly ground and barrel size was a step backwards. Like the NZ rollers with the big barrels as they are easy on compaction.
Certainly gone up in 5 years 2k !

We thought about getting a Watson rotating one but instead got a pair of ten foots. 20ft a time for a fraction of the price. Simple job to pack up for the gateways too. Admittedly we don't really have any road work involved
It's 5k for a Watson 8ft lead and follow now!

Take care the first time you unfold on sidecasting ground until you get used to it or the whole thing takes off sideways on you.
