MAIN CHARACTERISTIC OF ALPEGO ROLLER:
DISC ROLLER (DR6)
This roller causes soil compaction in stripes: it promotes better water absorption and makes it possible for the soil to breath.
It is ideal for rocky and damp soils with large organic masses.
RING ROLLER (VR6)
For dry and heavy soils. A better crumbling and re-compacting of the soil thanks to its wedge-shaped rings. The blades between
the rings break up the earth clumps and clean up the spaces between the rings. The compaction in stripes presents the
advantage of promoting a better water absorption.
STAB ROLLER (G6)
On the other hand, the stab roller leaves the soil soft: this application is ideal for dry and not sticky soils.
RULLO FLEX (FX6)
The Flex roller is suited for wet and heavy soils which tend to be sticky. The roller weight is ideally suited for three-point-hitch
mounted machines.
