I’m looking at getting a roller for gravel roads. I have a Caterpillar 12 grader and I see some of my customers want their road compacted too.
I’m open to just about any type if it meets my needs and the price is right. The types I’m considering now are;
Pull behind, can pull with grader or one of my tractors.
Mount one onto the rear of the grader, steel roller or maybe a tire roller.
Self propelled, but what type? Vibrating or not? How much bigger does a drum need to be, to compare with a vibrating unit? Crows foot? Bolt on Z plates?
20,000 lbs is about the biggest that I can haul.
I’m a one man, and I might get my wife to help, operation.
Recommendations on what size, and type of older “low cost” quality rollers would be great.
Thanks, Paul
