Here are some pictures of the 5000# roller I made 15 year ago. It was my first retirement welding project. I pull it behind my 72 inch woods mower. I decided to roll lawn after I got 2 plus inches of rain. In true redneck engineering, everything was FREE, except for welding rods and 7 bags of Portland cement 500 gallons of water would have been just fine, except the tank wasn't made of thick enough metal. So I cut out 4 bung holes and made 2 places to get inside. Weld rebar, add forms and it took 7 different concrete pours to line tank, Make a place to add about 250 gallons of water. I added water once and Jubilee was clawing grass for traction . Only use this roller on level ground. Don't stop real fast. At 5 mph, you know it's back there. I made the roller to flatten mole runs, which it does. I was hoping to crush moles, which it doesn't. Next day moles are laughing at me, I'm back.
One time I had white rock stuck to roller. Went over sidewalk and made powered lime.
So far my redneck roller has worked for 15 years. I transported it to my WTH property. It took me half day to secure roller and transport it. I transported it back to property where I built new pole barn and said I'll never move it again. If I think it's scary to load and move, you know it has to be scary. Never again. Share pictures of your roller or redneck engineering projects so the wanta be rednecks can get ideas.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
