What are these rollers called?

[Brownie3856]

Could anyone tell me what these rollers are classed as? And how much they might fetch? The best way I can call them is flat ring rollers.
Many thanks

A pain in the arse to move about

Been in the nettles for a long time rollers.

How much do they weigh ? Looks like a combined weight of about 2 T ? Not enough to obliterate the wheelings from a modern 8 T tractor. So not worth much, sorry.

They look like being more suitable to grass than arable. But not really heavy enough these days.
Still floggable to some horsey geek no doubt.

Best ask granddad rollers.

Don't mention the war rollers.

I remember using a set a bit like that but they had real rings and it was linked up to give more width. They were fudging hopeless and nothing like the weight of a modern set and you couldn't back them into the corner of a field as the wings would pish off and do their own thing.

Worth more as wheels for Shepherds huts

As in Fordham, a village in Cambridgeshire?
Rather than Cambridge rolls!

Not sure where I got fordham from our cambridge rolls are similar and came from Lichfield fouindry

Advertise them as paddock rollers. Consider selling separately as the small ones could be pulled by quad bike. Worth £100/150 per roller. £300 the lot

I agree, could potentially be worth £50 a ring I would say. Try finding someone to make you a set of new ones. Bet they aren't cheap.

Its a triple gang Flat Roller set made by Evans of Radstock.


They could be referred to as 'Flat Ring Rollers' but' Ring Roller' was more normally used to refer to Cambridge Rollers.

I'm no horsey geek but we still use a old one sometimes instead of a Cambridge for grass seeding or brassicas.
.....and we find as ever, that its plenty heavy enough, infact ideal same as it always was.

They are not the most decorative things to use as wheels to be honest, but when you see some of the prices they ask on ebay etc, for all sorts of old wheels
