[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1723380, member: 39018"] Exactly! It's all about management. By unrolling, you're choosing to manage to maximize the benefits of the resources by evenly spreading them out over the whole pasture, while minimizing potential negative damage by avoiding the concentration of the resources and impacts too heavily in any one area. Because I have my unroller mounted on my front end loader, I can do the same thing as you mention they do with the spinners... just set it down, pick it up, set it down, etc. "No" moving parts. Haven't really seen a difference though doing it that way or just unrolling in a long swath. I used to consider the point that a 5' swath was maybe too wide, and it'd be "better" to unroll with a sidewinder. Not convinced of that though anymore, and the added complexity sure wouldn't be worth it, for THAT point, to me. They're going to step on it and lay on it some, regardless of which way it gets unrolled. If you unroll in a full width swath, and then limit them to only what they'll clean up with polywire, they'll line up head to head and butts out along that swath almost entirely, until they've had their fill. It's all about management. [/QUOTE]
