Ring rolls leading harrow

[Flintstone]

I don't suppose anyone has a lead for where I can buy (or get made) a set of lightweight leading harrows for a set of Twose 8.2 metre ring rolls?

 

[Rob Holmes]

I have often thought about this and would be very useful, not as aggressive as paddle boards.

I think He-va (or someone similar) just started offering it

Surprised Claydons don't offer it

Dalbo do a type of straw harrowthat bolts on to the front of there rolls

 

[Badshot]

You can get different types of paddle board, might be worth looking around.

Jeff's answer would be to run the straw harrow over it after drilling as a separate pass.

DD press? Would be slower as the additional power requirement limits width. I wasn't thinking of a Cultipress with the front tines in the ground, just something heavier that would squash the ridges down more.

Have done some ridgey stuff with Claydon Terrastar set in shallow mode in the past, works well, as long as seed at a reasonable depth.Ours has rear harrow which helps.

I was wondering about some kind of folding beam implement that's 8m wide and has a series of looped chains attached to it, like this... It would fit nicely on the front linkage when rolling, and gently scoop soil back over the trenches.

T Sem drills have these. @rob1 ?

Yes they do

 

[Brisel]

Yes they do

Thanks for that.

Any good? Do they block up or make much difference?

 

[Flintstone]

That’s exactly what triggered my idea but I couldn’t remember the drill name to Google it! Thanks.

I reckon if the chain was heavy enough it would do a good job.

If you have a straw rake make it so you can front mount it?

 

[rob1]

Thanks for that.

never had mine block up either through wet conditions or trash, they do help drag a bit of soil over the slot but having been dding for a while now the soil is pretty friable most of the time, the benefit i find is moving the odd patch of manure which has been left in a lump by the spreader

Nrh engineering do these for there rollers, so probably worth a word.

Agri link do a bolt on paddle/tine setup so maybe they could help you.

There's a thread in the project section where someone did this to a set of Heva rolls

Found it.

You could have the same idea as in the link above just mount it on the linkages towing the rolls behind.

Back when we had the SR Claydon we shallow drilled spring barley and knocked the ridges over the next day with a 'tume' machine with tines lifted out. The SR left bigger ridges than the Hybrid. Knocked the pitched off soil over the seed really well before rolling so think it would be a good move.

You want a couple of rows of lightweight tines on the front of the rolls, that fold with them. Rake and roll would be ideal for weed chit.
