Home made swath rollers

[Dolomite]

Lacking the ability to get out and do the jobs booked in, the maintenance jobs are about caught up. So my next project is to build my front mounted toolbox with removable swath roller for hay and straw. Yes i know its early but better now than rushing. I have four tyres to go on, so it would be similar to a Ritchie tyre press style system, but was wandering what others have made other than the ones for sale for 1K plus.

Ive seen one using a Diablo roller of a tatty harvester ,,it was the full piece that covered two rows so ideal for a wide swath and lightweight,,like this one
