A set of HE-VA King Rollers, 12.3m width, replaced a different make for Lee Henzell from Henzell Enterprises based in mid Northumberland.

Lee is involved in the family farm as well as running a busy contracting business, which he established ten years ago. He employs 11 full time workers. 

"I know that HE-VA equipment is strong and well constructed. The tow kit for the rollers is good with heavy wheels for road work and good road lights. When arriving in the field the wing sections fold out easily, the wheel ram cylinder engages and the wheels lift forward and up", says Lee Henzell.

"When the job is done the wheels are folded and locked in place automatically without the driver having to leave the cab. The weight of the wings is then carried by the tractor and the transport wheels, which makes it very stable on the road. The compaction from HE-VA King Rollers gives more even crops and the five centre pivots, along with two folding pivots, and the pivoting drawbar ensure all the contours of the land are covered."

He added, "As I have my own land plus a large contracting operation I can cover more acreage faster than before which is a real plus."
