Found a pretty good sized Roller. Whats it worth?

I'm In Doylestown and a local Custom Builder and could use this for my Lots
on my rough grades if you are intrested in selling please contact me!
Reminds me of the roller I used as a kid to roll the soccer fields in the 1970's
The concrete and casing were done in the same fashion.

You guys are quick! Made it out like this: 26"x1/4" wall steel pipe is 68.8#ft, The volume is Radius Squared X Length = 31855.83 cu in. A cubic ft of concrete is 145#. Divide the 31855.83 x 1728 = 18.43 cu ft in the roller. So 18.43 X 145# per cu ft = 2673#. Plus the pipe if it's 26" = 344# .........
Looks like 3,000 pounds to me also............~Scotty

this math is crazy lol. are you serious though? is it about 3thousand pounds? thats what it sure as **** feels like. at least that. if it sits in one spot over night it sinks into the ground

Problem is that nothing needs rolling on my property. its pretty flat and my driveway is paved.

Ohio Steel sells their 60"x24" roller for $379. Filled with water it weighs 1150 pounds. Could you tell me what type of bearing or bushing you have on the ends? Thanks.

Water weighs about 62.5 #per cu ft if anyone wants to do more calcuations. :laughing: ~Scotty

Well that 2'x 5 ' column is 15.7 cubic feet and 117.5 gallons.

So 15.7 X 62.5 = 981 lbs. just for the water, so what TXDon said sounds right.

Tractor Supply sells an Ohio Steel 52" x 24" roller that weights 920 lbs filled (with water) for $250 (well, $250 here in FL anyway, don't know if the price is different in other places):

Ohio Steel 920 lb. Steel Lawn Roller, 24 in. x 52 in. - 4404989 | Tractor Supply Company

The Tractor Supply 52" (overall) Roller is actually a 48" Roller. The extra 4" that they measure is the 2" shaft and angle iron that is on either end.

Their 60" roller (overall 64") Ohio Steel Roller is $399. It is not on line but I went to their store and they looked it up in their book.
