I found a large chunk of pipe that was just begging to be made in to something.

Looks great! I have been looking to buy or build a roller for about 2 years now, nothing available out this way.

After looking at a few of this type of tools. Can some one tell me why they are not usually that is done in a 3pt?

 

[cmustang]

not sure what it weighs skeeter it is 22 inches by 48 inches 1/2 inch pipe the end caps are 1/2 inch so that will give you an idea of the weight later I might figure out the water volume.
Kubota man I considered putting it on the 3 pt but it would try to skid it around corners. plus I can tow much more than I can lift with my b7100.

volume of this roller is 1 meter cubed. so the water alone if it is filled is one metric tonne.

22"x 48" works out to about a third of a cubic meter. Volume = pi*r*r*h = 3.14*11*11*48= 18237 cu in.
A cubic meter is 39.37 cubed, or 61,023 cu in.
The roller's water is about 0.3 metric tonnes, or about 650 lbs.
That looks like pretty thick wall pipe - the empty roller must go a couple hundred lbs. Hell of a nice roller!!
