Is the grass roller too heavy?

I have used my FORD 3000 diesel to pull a 3000 lb (steel container full of sand) roller for my grass but lately I'm wondering if its hard on the tractor. It pulls it OK but I don't want to pull the guts out of my tractor just to roll grass. The FORD is about 40 HP and I do have a bigger tractor (65 HP), but its not as nimble. Is the the FORD OK? Thanks. Beautiful day today, wasn't it.

If you can _stop_ the load, should be fine. I'd be more worried about the brakes than the engine/tranny. You should be fine.

Pull one that heavy with a Farmall 200. Seems to handle it well, no strain. But, am pulling it on gravel parkinglot, and driveway, both fairly level.
