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 David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
