Rolling paddocks

[TritTrot]

Hi there

I have two small paddocks equalling about an acre (and before anyone jumps on my back - a large field equalling about 19 acres!).

During the winter the horses have churned the paddocks up something rotten so I need to get them rolled.

In the past, this has been in with my lease but it is not included in the new lease.

Before I ring round, what would you expect to pay for someone to come and roll a paddock of about an acre?

Ta muchly!

I pay the price of a four pack of beer to have my paddock rolled (1 acre)! My son rolls my paddock using the YO's tractor and roller. If anyone else on the yard wants theirs done at the same time they get my son some beer or wine and he does it for them!

Sorry - that's not much help to you is it?

Unless your son would like to travel from Glos to Scotland just roll an acre of paddock. I'd pay him two packs of beer....

I'll see TT's 2 packs and raise 2 more if he'll come to Kent and do mine

Knowing my son he would quite happily agree lol! Dont think the YO would be too impressed with his tractor and roller being taken all over the country though

Sounds like a good deal to me...............ring round some local farmers but its usually for fuel etc and I pay about £76 for hour and half work.

I used to get mine done for £20 and that was about the same size
