[QUOTE="mcagris, post: 5117090, member: 4569"] It only got finished a few weeks ago and just got started with stitching in. The roller is now 3 seasons old and ive done over 1000 acre with it the blades are now 4.5" long. When i looked at buying one i tried both the alstrong and watson in same field and same day, found the alstrong killed off my red clover and i got a better yield behind the watson, and i prefered the width of the watson, the alstrong is better built and has a few better design elements but yield is king they say! I was finding with both machines if it was too compact it would flick up sods which the surounding grass would die off and was having to go in with flat roller in silage ground so got the finishing roller made it doesn't compact the soil even with its solid 50mm shaft and 15mm thick roller the harrow tines came off a kuhn rake i believe and i already had the broadcaster, which i may replace with a stocks box seeder and fit a pigtail tine slot tool bar that i aquired recently in place of the harrow for stubble neeps and rape as 5 bolts remove the harrow.
