	How many concrete sheep will it take and how are you going to strap them to the roller.  
 ;-)

	I am wanting  to make a concrete filled smooth roller to spring roll hay fields with. 
Not huge but at least 10'  wide. I just want to mash down the frost heave knobs etc. with 
it. I have thought of just ballasting my 10' cultipacker but would prefer a smoother 
surface. I would also like to have one of those mat harrows made of heavy links but its 
just not in the budget this year. I would like to be able to spread manure and let it 
weather a while then drag it with one of those harrows and then overseed.
	I have been considering a temporary makeshift "knob, molehill and crawdad tower knocker 
downer"    :-)   by dragging about 3 cattle panels one behind the other. It would be 
pulled with the horizontal rods down and the 16' length crosswise. Maybe even overseeding 
at the same time with a small broadcast seeder on the tractor I pull it with.
