Mike, have you tried pumping the water out of the sloughs and water a part of the field. Not to make a bumper crop, but more so just have something to harvest for seed next year?

Mike here we roll when the crop is tillering. Gives the plat a chance to get past the seeding ridge and if it’s too dry to roll then it buys time for rain? Just a thought.

@@mikemitchell2554 Mike, just an idea for ya. Try pulling the roller behind the seed/fert cart when you are drilling/seeding the low harvested crops peas/lentils to do the job in one fell swoop instead of having to go over the field again with a roller. I want to see a long train of machinery going across the field. Rollers pull fairly easy, maybe a few more horses would be needed for the longer train but it would be worth trying.

@@mikemitchell2554 Get a roller the same width or a tad more than the width of the drill and have steerable wheels on the roller for turning around corners when it is folded. Similar steering idea as the big 100 foot Bourgault drill. As well, you could get rid of the packer wheels on the drill and drag a bar or a length of angle iron behing the openers the same width as the drill to help fill in the seed trenches and then the roller coming behind would do the packing.

@@mikemitchell2554 Again Mike, thanks for your reply. I didnt think that it would take that many horses to pull a 80-90 ft roller on level ground. Hilly ground, yes I would think. The diameter of the barrels would affect the HP reqd. In my estimation, machinery is going to increase in size as time goes on. 62ft combine heads now with that GTS Brazilian head and they will probably go to 70 ft in a few more years. RAIN,RAIN, RAIN.
