Anyone Roll Coal with a Tractor?

[jlgurr]

Maybe a dumb question, but curious if anyone has or knows how to roll coal with a tractor. I have only a GC1705 but....

Just thinking out loud. Maybe I just need to get me a diesel truck.

If you use the term "roll coal" you are either a guy who likes to waste fuel, or a stupid kid driving daddy's truck.

The older I get (I'm only 28) every time I see one of these idiots dump black smoke out of their exhaust the more I roll my eyes.

My, my, a bit quick to pass judgment based on stereotypes. I'm neither a guy who wastes fuel nor a stupid kid driving daddy's truck. I simply like it and wondered if it could be done with a tractor since that's my only diesel. Besides it's not wasting fuel if you get something in return. Using your logic I waste fuel lighting brush pile fires but from my perspective it's not wasted since it clears a pile of debris off my land.

Black smoke means you are wasting fuel.

Do you mean like spreading and packing it? I would use a box scraper, and dampen the coal occasionally to help it pack, Once spread, then you could roll it I would just use a lawn roller, they are usually filled with water for ballast........

I wouldn't call it rolling coal, but if I put my jd750 in high gear and dump the throttle I get a little gray smoke and an eye roll from swmbo. ��

I just about fell out of the recliner laughing. This is the best comment ever. You win the internet today.

I don't roll or burn coal anymore. Black Angus Ribeyes taste so much better seared quickly over the direct flame then moved over to smoke on the cool side of a MESQUITE WOOD fire. That is, of course, after the steaks have marinated for 24 hours with a liberal coating of Tony Chachere's seasoning on them! Yum yum!

I honestly thought this thread had to do with coal.

Not for fun & profit. There is a spot on my trip to the woodlot where 3rd gear / High range combined with accelerating after slowing to check traffic before crossing over a steeply crowned roadway while towing the trailer & log splitter causes it for about 5 seconds.

Oh yeah, and there are times running the brush hog when my gear selection s a little high for an overgrown patch.
