Vaderstad rollers views

[Ormond]

Looking to buy a set of rollers, just hired up to now, the ones I hire 24” rings 8.3m do a good job especially on dry seedbeds after spring barley. Looking at a set of 10.2m vaderstad , I’d like to do more rolling on winter barley coming out of winter and these would fit well to my 20m tramlines. Bit of age about the rollers but rings look good. Concerned about the weight or lack of at 4t and the smaller rings and opinions of people that have got or had in the past. Thanks

We ran 6.2m vaderstad rolls for a long time and they're fine but now run 8.2m heva and they follow the ground far better the vaderstad just being hinged off the centre frame aren't near as good as others

Vaderstad have the best style of bearings being rubber mounted but I do concede they are a bit light but there is an option of heavier rings but not terribly common

We've a set of vaderstad 930s maybe. Work in with our 28m tramlines.

We bought them second hand from @symon jacobsen , would have done a lot of work before we bought them.

Been trouble free. We had opicos before with paddles and wouldn't buy them again

We have a 6.2m set and thought they were ok ish until we tried a heavy duty set of Twose and the difference in the job they make is incredible. The Vaderstad are 2.4t where the twose are 3.6t. Ground following is much better on the twose too. I wouldn’t buy Vaderstad again.
