Types of Field Rollers

Cambridge Roller - Normally made with gangs of cast iron rings on a shaft, Cambridge field rolls are predominantly used as part of the cultivation and drilling process. They can also have breakers between the rings which help to keep the rings clean and to break down clods of soil and create an even seedbed.
Flat Roller - for use on grass, these solid steel gangs can be water filled to add weight. Flat rolls are used to flatten the grass and improve seed to soil contact after reseeding.

At AMTEC, we have recently taken on the UK dealership for Quivogne, a French manufacturer of farm equipment, and supply both standard Cambridge rolls and flat rolls.

Used field rolls are just part of the selection of second-hand agricultural machinery that AMTEC have in stock for sale in the UK.

The benefits of using field rolls in farming

The main use of field rolls in farming is following drilling, this is to improve seed to soil contact and improve germination. Rolling after seeding can also help retain the moisture in the ground and make the ground more receptive to water. Farm rollers can also be used prior to drilling to create a smooth and firm seedbed and to push rocks and other solid objects into the soil. Agricultural rollers are an important part of reduced/no-till systems as they can help to control trash and crop residue. Rolls can be fitted with additional accessories such as leading paddles to help knock down clods of soil or harrow tines to help distribute trash before rolling in a no-till system.

For more information on why it’s important to roll after drilling, read our blog to find out.

Farm rolls maintenance

The great thing about land rolls is they are generally low maintenance, a simple frame and long-lasting bearings on the gangs results in a long-lasting piece of machinery. With regular greasing and care, a set of rollers should give years of service and the hard-wearing cast rings will cover many 1000's of acres before they need replacing.

FAQ's about Rolls

What does a farm roller do?

Farm rollers are used to break up clumps of soil, removing any small rocks and other forms of debris that get in the way when planting and harvesting. This is done by pushing the rocks and other solid objects further down into the soil. This creates a more level and uniform surface, using farm field rollers helps ensure crops are planted and harvested in a consistent manner. You can find out more about field rollers in our blog on the importance of Field rollers in Agriculture.

Why should you use a Cambridge roller?

Cambridge rollers are predominantly used as part of the cultivation and drilling process. A Cambridge roller is known to have breakers between the rings, which helps to break down clods of soil and create an even seedbed. Cambridge field rollers can also be used after sowing, which increases uniformity of seed emergence, subsequently improving the growth rate of vegetation.

How heavy should a field roller be?

The weight of a field roller depends on several factors, including the type of soil, the intended use of the field roller and the size of the field. A typical field roller used for compacting soil on a small to medium sized field can weigh anywhere between 500 to 1000 Kilos. As a general rule, your field roller should be heavy enough to effectively compact the soil, but not so heavy that you rick causing any damage to the field or the underlying soil structure.

How much does a field roller cost?

The cost of a field roller can vary depending on its size, weight, and features, as well as the manufacturer and retailer. For a basic manual or tow-behind field roller prices can start as low as £1,500 to £4,950 for a smaller model, while a larger and heavier field roller can cost upwards of £6,000 to £24,000. It is important to consider your specific needs and budget when selecting a field roller, you may want to consider other manufacturers to compare prices and features.

Why use a roller on a field?

Field rollers are a valuable tool for any farmer looking to improve the quality and productivity of their fields. They create a more even surface, perfect for planting, harvesting and maintaining the overall health of the soil. Farm rolls are an important part of any successful agricultural operation.

What does a packer roller do?

Packer rollers are crucial in achieving ideal seedbed preparation by re-compacting the soil. This process decreases soil porosity and water evaporation, resulting in equal access to nutrients, moisture, and light. A well-prepared seedbed leads to excellent crop growth and high yields.

Are rollers filled with water?

Some field rollers can be filled with sand or water to provide extra weight when needed. Filling your field roller with water or sand also gives you the advantage of being able to drain/empty the roller to a lighter weight for certain uses or during transport.

Top tip: If you are using a field roller that contains water make sure to drain it in the winter and cold season to avoid expansion problems from icing water.
