Default Lawn roller
With spring on its way. Guess its time to get back on the lawn roller project. Its been over a year since I last work on it. I will be happy to get it out of my garage when I get it done. The drum is a old air tank from a EMD CF7 loco. It should do a get job when its done.

Got the other end of the roller welded on, but still needs more. Started to build the hitch tonight.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what purpose does rolling the lawn serve?

Gives us all something to do between mowing and plowing snow LOL!!!

Most of what I read from the true green thumber's of the world say that rolling a lawn is more harmful to the grass cause of the compaction that it does to the soil underneath.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
