Why Furrow Rollers?
Pro-Till’s furrow rollers are a versatile solution for all soil types, delivering excellent consolidation and a firm, finished seedbed. The unique micro-ridge design stores water in valleys, driving it deeper for uniform moisture retention. This improves seed-to-soil contact, accelerates germination, and preserves moisture—especially vital in dry conditions. The ridged pattern also protects against erosion by reducing runoff and wind displacement. After residue is cut and mixed, the hollow rubber rollers break up clods, shed soil, and bring fine earth into contact with residue to speed decomposition. Their alternating compact and loose zones promote efficient gas exchange, allowing oxygen in and carbon dioxide out—critical for healthy, productive soil. Pro-Till rollers don’t just finish a field—they prepare it for optimal growth.
Otico Roller
LSTX 590
The LSTX 590 Otico roller is an excellent all-around packer with a unique corrugated ridge profile, which leaves a field finish designed to manage moisture and prevent soil erosion. Pro-Till’s furrow rollers perform well regardless of soil type or soil conditions. Proven effective in clay, sand, gumbo, and rocky soil, the furrow roller performs especially well in wet fields. Unlike a cage roller system, the furrow roller is designed to shed soil to prevent plugging and reduce maintenance. Featuring a Simple, Strong and Clean Scraper System. Utilizing a minimalist approach, the long arms of the scrapers create great trash flow. The scrapers are easy to adjust, easy to clean and are removed with the loosening of a bolt. Max Life scrapers will significantly increase the life and performance of your roller scrapers. The tungsten carbide tipped scrapers maintain their original length and shape, resulting in a clean roller and a more consistent field finish.
Otico Roller
LSTXE 600
The all new Otico LSTXE Roller System is exclusive to the Degelman Pro-Till and will offer unparalleled performance in wet, muddy and sandy conditions.
This is due to the unique design of the rubber rings working in combination with low friction polyethylene (PE) rings to exclude mud from the groove and stick it back to the ground as it rolls.
Since the roller is self-cleaning, it is no longer necessary to scrape mud from the grooves. Specially designed rock ejectors take the place of the scrapers on this roller to keep rocks from being lodged between the rubber rings.

Benefits of using a Cage Roller
In dry, non-sticking soil conditions, and sandy conditions, Degelman’s line of cage rollers ensures any clumps that may be left behind are disintegrated, providing an even, accessible seedbed with moderate consolidation. The helical solid shafts vary in size depending on the configurations, and provide superior protection against rocks and any other debris that may pose a threat in the field.
The robust double cage roller design offers even more crumbling and more consolidation, creating the smoothest seedbed finish. This is due to faster turning rollers, a built-in roller offset to maximize overlap, and the walking action of the rollers to follow ground contours.
