Transfer RollerModel: TR275
The Aitchison
Transfer Roller uses
a unique weight transfer system to
increase and decrease downwards pressure on the roller. The tractor weight can
be transferred to the roller increasing the downward pressure on a relatively
small footprint. The ability to transfer the weight from tractor to the roller
greatly increases its effectiveness.
The Transfer roller
is easy to transport on the 3Pt linkage arms. It has an operating width of
2.75M and an overall road transport width of 3.2M. The roller itself weighs about 950kg and can
be filled (via the fill points) with water, adding up to an additional 1 tonne
of weight.
An additional 3 Tonne of
weight can be transferred from the tractor to the Transfer roller so that the total down pressure can be up to 5
Tonne with only a 600mm roller diameter. The equivalent water filled roller
would have a diameter of around 1500mm with a very large footprint.
The Aitchison
Transfer Roller is simple and yet clever. The hydraulic ram pushes the
roller backward at the top end. Because the roller is held at the three point
linkage at the bottom we get a pivoting action. This lifts the tractor up and
the roller folds towards the tractor wheels. A large leaf spring ensures that
the roller is kept in the correct operating position.
The Transfer Roller
has very heavy duty bearings and a scraper bar at the top that removes soil clumps.
The outside parking legs can be moved up so that the
operator can see the outside edge of the Transfer roller whilst in operation.
The roller is made of extruded 12mm steel so there is no
seam and the tolerance between roller and scraper bar can be kept to a minimum.
The Aitchison
Transfer roller is a cleverly designed piece of machinery that makes the
job of rolling pastures or laneways very easy.
Machine is 3 point linkage mounted with hydraulic top link supplied as standard.
