    Help please…which spiky roller for heavy clay?

    Roller feedback.... Got stuck again (user error as ground still too soft in places,) tow hitch bends if u try and reverse but if you have a quad it would be ideal as could get in all the corners.

    Help please…which spiky roller for heavy clay?

    Roller isn't that heavy until filled with water, we left it in its packaging and lifted onto a trailer. I then filled it with water when In field, comes as standard with pin hitch but I paid for standard hitch to be put on. Think the hitch needs to be stronger as I bent it when trying to get...

They r adlib and as long as weather is cold I get through it fine, start and end of winter I switch to small bale...or if you can get it rectangular bales (not Heston) are a great size when u have 2 as they are about half a...

    Help please…which spiky roller for heavy clay?

    Well I survived... Just, got stuck once and used trusty mud control mats under the tyres to get me out. Ground looks loads better but I have bent the tow hitch on the new roller, I think when reversing to get out of gripe... Easy fix though. Will rest that side for a couple of weeks then move...

    For those of you that travel your horse in a trailer without partition

    I tie equally and he stands on an angle and doesn't move, v secure, I can't even tell he is on there. Full bars front and back are a must.

    I've bought this https://norfolktools.co.uk/product/lawn-roller-spiker-1-5m/ ...about to use for first time today. I'm on clay but needed something i could tow with car, harrows heavy enough to be effective not a great idea behind a car. My land is very poached so a small harrow would just...

    Haylage, coughing and good doers

    I buy small bales from local farmer, can only just pick them up so nice and heavy , £7.50 each, much more cost effective than shop bought ones

    Flooring for field shelter

    Mine is rubber matted with shavings but is sheltered from wind. If you want them to lie down it in u will need a good amount of bedding or some really cushioned rubber. If they are walking in and out with shoes I would worry they would trash softer rubber (I have the thick bobbled black mats...
