Dave - I use a culti-packer behind my tractor on my airstrip and I find it

works better than the heaviest roller. In case you don't know what a

culti-packer is - mine is two rows of heavy steel disks with small knobs on

them, all rotating independently and about 8ft wide. I drag this up and down

my strip after a rain when the ground is soft, the knobs push higher spots

sideways to lower spots rather than compressing them like a roller. I've

found it's the only way to truly keep a strip level and flat, and the grass

healthy.

I never thought that would work that well. 



Mine rolls nice with water when still wet but later on in year it always gets a bit bumpy again. 



I was just out welding a bit more on it . Got to make a plate on ends of each roller tonight and load onto trailer and take to cement yard tomorrow.    I think it will be about a metre total of cement that is just about 10% bigger than a yard . Once done  I think likely 5000 lbs plus.
