THE CROSS ROLLER RANGE
The Cross 12.2m Ring Roller Range is ideal for the large scale tillage contractor. Built and tested in Ireland this roller has proven to be one of the most durable on the market. The Steel rings allow the operator to roll with no fear of ring breakage. The tine bar and/or levelling bar combination converts a standard roller into a multi use tool:
-
Tilling, Levelling and Rolling After Ploughing (in one pass)
-
Fold Tines and Paddles away & Roll after Sowing
Why Roll
For optimum soil conditioning
During ploughing the soil is loosened to allow air and warmth into the soil. It is important that the soils do not dry out too much as this would impact the natural capillary action that provides a flow of nourishment to the germinating seedling.
Using a ring roller, depending on the soil conditions and tillage programme, can speed up the re-activation of the capillary process, encouraging the re-establishment of microbic action in the soil growth layer.
The Cross range of Ring Roller Presses can provide an excellent opportunity to give the soil back its structure in advance of seeding. It will allow the creation of an optimal soil moisture level, with smaller soil clod sizes, below the surface and at the depth where the seed germination and emergence takes place.
Using the Cross Ring Roller will ensure the following:
-
Field working passes are kept to a minimum
-
Excess soil drying out is prevented
-
Soil clod sizes are reduced
-
Soil structure is enhanced
-
Environment for soil microbes is enhanced

Cultivation is key
All Cross Rollers can be equipped to deal with the toughest of ground conditions.
The tine cultivation tool bar and levelling paddle combination is the ideal solution for ground that has gone hard and has a lot of clods.
Even if only using levelling paddles like on the HD model. This system will ensure level fields for the sowing system to follow.
