Good Morning,

Many thanks for all the interest in our range of Proforge machinery. Approx 20% of our machines are built by Rolmako, however, they aren’t simply off the shelf items repainted red!

We have been working with the factory for a number of years now and are bringing in machines to Proforge’s specification, built to suit the higher demands of the UK market, both on the components used and the structural build of the machines. Off-the-shelf models will have cheaper open crumblers or tooth packers, inferior bearings (Not SKF sealed) and inferior Disc blades (not OFAS/ High Boron)

We (try to!) keep sizes in most models immediately available from stock at our yard in Lincolnshire as well as next day delivery back up of parts.

On the best selling model the Inverta, there are now over 230 across all regions of the UK so we can generally put you in contact with a local user to get 1st hand feedback should you require.

Trust this clarifies a few points and any questions please give us a call.

What is the minimum hp requirement on a 3m inverta?

I reckon you would be fine with 100hp.i can pull a 5 metre trailer inverta with a 6620 deere,125/130hp on stubble with ease.on ploughed land it kills the tractor and I then use it on my 7710,155hp which manages it perfectly ok at 6/7/8 mph.have been up to 12mph on stubble

Ah thats not too bad then. Can you put a drill behind it? Would you think that would work well? Either into stubble or ploughed ground?

I’m sure anything is possible.probably could run a front hopper and put a coulter bar or rear of Harrow or mount hopper above discs but you woukd want a bigger tractor to lift it all
