My neighbor and I made one out of a 500 gallon anhydrous tank. Works very well when filled with water. It makes a five foot wide footprint. I've spent many hours pulling it around. The rounded ends make it fairly wide compared to the actual flat working width but nonetheless it does a real good job. It needs a minimum of a 30 HP tractor if you roll the lawn.

One way is to have it on flat cement and lay a straight edge across the top, measuring the distance between the overhanging straight edge and the floor. Remember the welded seam on the edge of the tank that will raise the end of the straight edge if the straight edge doesn't go all the way across th tank. It wouldn't hurt to put an angle iron across the back of the roller as a scraper. Damp soil plasters itself to the roller immediately.
