I am building a lawn roller out of a 300 gallon gas tank. I am going to fill it with water. At 8 lbs a gallon i am looking a 2400lbs plus weight of tank(125-200lbs). So Total weight will be about 2500-2700lbs. I have a john deere 3520 that would pull it no problem. But the tires are the industrial tires that are between ag and turf. They dont tear up the yard to bad but still leave their mark. I am afraid that if i use the JD to pull the roller the tractor and roller will just cancel eachother out and not really make the ground smooth. I have also got a case 444 that has turf tires and is a garden tractor but seems to be built more like the bigger tractors.(bigger back tires etc.) My question is would this pull the roller if i made the tounge long enough? Or would the JD with the industrial tires not be that bad and would still roll the yard good?
