I have acres of lawn and pasture to reseed and roll. I bought two (2) 48" wide lawn rollers from TSC and would like to pull both at the same time, side by side, to get a 8-9' wide pass. [The tires on my tractor are set to be about 96" wide]. Each roller has a yoke on it, with a cat 0 pin, so it can be pulled by a lawn tractor individually; I've got a flat bar with holes in it, to join the two. That's at the front.
Now, my problem is at the back. Going around turns the two rollers do not track together; combined with some hills and hummocks, the two yokes bang into each other and sometimes ride up on top of each other. I need something that will spread the two rollers apart and keep them from touching, but will still allow differential movement side-by-side and up-and-down.
I'm imagining something like a rubber stick, or a torsion bar, that will flex but still keep the two yokes apart. Unfortunately I have no idea where to find such a thing, or how to attach it. Help!
I'm also hoping for an easy solution, something that doesn't require welding. I can get that done for me if I need to, along with getting some parts made.
I ask for help from you folks who are more creative than I, and who have graduated from the school of hard knocks!
