3.0 Operating Instructions 3.1 Hitching The Flexi Roller should be matched to the tractor size to maximise performance and efficiency. A mismatched tractor and implement will be inefficient and cost money, as well as being unsafe. The three-point linkage lift capacity of the tractor will generally determine the required tractor size. Check the tractor’s operator’s manual for details.
3.2 Operating Direction The Flexi Roller is a multi purpose unit and can be utilised in either direction. In aggressive mode the Flexi Roller will shatter clods and mulch topsoil. It can also be used to break the crust on newly sown soil after rain. In passive mode the Flexi Roller provides a firming, pressing action.

Best results will occur if the entire weight of the machine is rested on the roller rings. Therefore if hydraulic or manual transport kits are fitted the wheels should be raised clear and as high as possible.
