Found a pretty good sized Roller. Whats it worth?

[shortthrow50]

Been finding crap on my new property. I found this Roller on my property and it has to weigh at least a ton and a half maybe more. I payed **** moving it with my truck. Maybe you can figure out what it weighs if your good with math. I dont know how it was made but the concete must have been formed for it is exposed on the sides. It is wrapped with quarter inch steel. The drum measures 5 feet across and it is 2 feet tall. It crushes and levels everything in its path. What would someone pay for this and what do you think this thing weighs. Like i said, it is all concrete wrapped in quarter inch steel.

I'll give you 12 packs and help you remove it from your property.... :thumbsup:. Or you let me borrow it and we'll talk . You in PA?

It depends, to some it is worth between $50-$200, but if you have a gravel driveway I would keep it and pull it with the 3520.

I would actually have fun pullin this thing with the 3520. Problem is that nothing needs rolling on my property. its pretty flat and my driveway is paved. I live 3o minutes outside of philly and about 15 minutes west of king of prussia and have no problem lending it to any of you local guys.

I'm outside of York (about 80 miles west of you) and I might take you up on that offer!

I would say that cylinder weighs..........


You basically have a cylinder of concrete 23.50" x 60"

It is 26034 +/- Cubic Inches.
If there are 1728 Square inches in a Cubic foot then you have 15 +/- Cubic Feet of concrete.

If concrete unreinforced weighs 145# per Cubic Feet you have 2175Lbs of Concrete, now add the weight of the cylinder and that bent :laughing: tow arm assemby and your going to have it real close.

My guess, 2400 Pounds...

I had one similar to that it was made out of cast iron.It had 4 sections about a foot wide each.That was worth about 60 $ at the scrap yard.Wish I still had it but the wife wanted it gone,said it was a weed magnet.

A column of concrete 2'x 5' is .58 cu yd, ~2300 lbs. Plus the weight of the pipe and frame, could be close to a ton and a half.
