What size roller for gravel driveways/parking lots?

I had a similar situation as you, I was looking for a used vibratory roller and they were either whipped or very expensive. I also was not to excited abut having one more engine/piece of equipment to maintain. If you have a skid steer that you use for grading, try looking for a used vibratory roller attachment, I picked one up off of Craigs list and have been very impressed, plus if you need to travel to a job you only need to transport one machine instead of two, just my 2cents. Best of luck with your hunting

Looking to get a used roller to help maintain our long gravel driveway (1/2 mile) and parking lots at work for our semi-trucks.

What size should I be looking at? I found a Ingersoll-Rand DD22 about an hour from me, in my price range with low hours on it. It's a 2-4 ton machine with vibration. Plus, still easily transportable at a 3 ton weight.

Is this enough, or should I be looking bigger?

Here's the roller my contractor used to install my gravel driveway (20 ft W x 330 ft L, 6" thick crusher run, three 2" lifts, water and roll each lift) and the asphalt paving to connect it to the county road.

Good luck
