I have working over an old pasture to make it into a yard by rototilling, raking rocks and harrowing. Now I'm almost ready to replant bermuda. But first I want to roll the ground to get it really level.
The problem is I have a Branson 4020 tractor which needs 72 inch implements to cover both tire tracks. And I haven't been able to find a 72 inch lawn roller. But I did find that TS has 48 Agri-Fab rollers on closeout for $104 each and I have been thinking about using 2 at a time.
My idea is to build a bar hitch that would connect to my trailing links and be long enought to weld a connector (ie like the end of the drawbar) on both sides. That way I could hitch both rollers up at the same time. I'd have a little gap in between the two rollers but otherwise would cover an are outside my tires.
I'm wondering though if I'm going to have them colliding with each other when I turn?
Anybody have any thoughts on this or a better idea?
Thanks.
Tony
