This  roller, which I am making myself 
out of concrete (go ahead, laugh, get it  out of your system), is much 
smaller than anything I've found  commercially


Chuck:
I ain't laughing.  I have one made from 2 barrels (19 in dia) and it  has 3/8 
steel plates sticking out of the side about 3 inches and is full on  
concrete.  I have seen them made from railroad spikes too.  railroad  spikes work 
great as they have a profile similar to a sheep's foot.  I  would suggest you only 
work in 3 to 4 inch lifts, or a lift only 1 inch in depth  deeper than the 
distance from the end of your sheepfoot to the drum.  I  have been in the dam 
building business for the last 27 years if I can give any  free advice, feel 
free to ask.   Remember free advice is worth what  you pay for it!!
