Manege roller

[Hollyhorse]

We've got a lovely manege that we've been maintaining regularly with a leveller, however while it flattens the surface it doesn't compact it enough and I'm finding that I need to level it almost daily (I exercise 4 horses on it a day)! The people that installed the manege said that I need a really heavy roller to compact it down and stop it moving around. Where can I find one of these without paying a fortune? It wasn't a cheap manege and was provided by the same people that work at HOYS and Belfast International so it's a good quality sand and fibre mix surface. I don't want another leveller version as ours does a really great job, I just need a roller. I have a 4x4 quad for towing. Any advice would be great!

How long has the menage been down?
Just did very quick search and found this?

Ours cost about £400 new, tows easily behind the quad, and is literally worth its weight in gold. When the surface first went down (about 5 years ago) I was levelling and rolling every day, but now I just level it a couple of times a week and roll it once and it's great (and it gets a lot of use).

Thanks 'showjump' - i'll have a look at that link. It was put down in June last year.

Rowreach - how much does yours weigh? I've been told I need to be careful with the weight of the roller and the capabilities of my quad (a big farm 4x4 quad).

they are expensive but very good quality product, we have one of their trailers and they are built to last.
