Try this, edit the photo you want to post and rotate it 180 degrees and save it then post it. If it is still upside down you will have to do the rotate 180 and save trick on photos twice to get them to post correctly. It's a pain in the butt, but it works.

I have also seen rollers filled with sand.

if you had access to a large quantity of ethylene glycol, you could use it to fill your roller. 100 percent pure EG does not offer freeze protection, once you get to about a 70% EG 30 % water mixture you get pretty significant freeze protection. EG is about 10 % heavier than water.

Ha I'm glad you chimed in Jan. I thought about fixing the pics in the original post, but everybody was having to much fun.

The tongue has been modified through some questionable fabrication. It occurred to me that a previous owner who was proud of their Case Construction King 580 skip loader, may have altered the rollers tongue to reach a drawbar and clear underneath the Gannon.

I noticed that these rollers have feet that come in a variety of shapes. This roller has "L" shaped feet. It may be trivial, but I also noticed they always roll forward with the heel hitting first. This roller is backwards.

I'm thinking of just cutting the tongue at the bend and reattaching it to the back. The tongue seems plenty long enough to shorten. I like the idea of a smaller, more meanuverable setup.

Just flip the tongue over to the other side. catskinner

Hi, case on a cat.
I'm no 'geo-tecker-nickel injuneer' but it strikes me that the heel hitting first and the rest of the foot coming down progressively might be the most effective way to have them work. But I'm just a 'pore, dumb bulldozer operator' so wott wood I noe?

Just my 0.02.

Pulling with the heel hitting first will pack the best. If pulled with the toe hitting first it will dig and always cultivate the first inch or two "worked" up. Too much speed is not good either, just like driving like h#ll to get over a mud hole with a pickup. Got to give it time to push down. Moist ground helps. Bitch to move. Build some hydraulic lift wheels on back so you can tow it and lift them up when working and they will add weight and don't worry about filling with water. Good job for the cook or girlfriend.

I picked up a sheeps foot this weekend. Its a 4ft wide drum. I'm hoping to use it with my D25U to prepare a pad for a small mobile home. I'm expecting to use it for a number of other things too. The drum is empty now. What exactly should I fill it with? Any other helpful tips? It has construction king 580 stickers on it, but after several google searches it's clear this sheeps foot is not associated in any way. Any idea who mfg'ed it, and how old it might be?

Fill with water unless there is a chance of freezing then maybe used coolant from a wrecking yard or repair shop...
