Thanks,
Something ODD about "That seller" - maybe ?
On the chance that they have a web site outside of e-bay I did a search for

Dave; I have a free 7' chunk of 8" well casing that has a 1/4" wall. I have a 4' piece of 1 1/2" round stock and four plasma cut 8 " discs to place inside the roller. I am cutting the round stock in half, one piece will get a key way cut into it for a drive sprocket. I priced end bearings and sprockets today and checked on a formula for ratios. I'm going with 2" x 1 1/2" teeth on the roller. 4x4 by 1/4" frame with a limited swival base. I'm not sure on the right angle drive as to what brand or ratio. I was hoping to check to see if there was any surplus units to choose from.
Again, I don't think the balance is a big deal turning so slow with resistance across the entire roller.
I'm up to 35 dollars so far for the roller ( cylinder, discs, and round stock to center the bearings. ) Alot of parts to go but 6k is a long way off.
Let me know what you find out. Between the two of us we should be able to engineer this thing piece by piece. I think 270 might be too fast. Sprocket size from top to bottom can also gear it down.
Nortec goes to 8" on the 8' models. They said Bob Cat uses 8" on their 7' units.
