[QUOTE="Land-Tech, post: 17019, member: 1679"] This link should take you to a picture of a sod roller I made when we had to do a baseball field.Hope the link works. Everything is off the shelf items except for the rams that I got out of the Northern catalog. The the backboard to fit the machine I got from Bobcat. I wanted to shift the roll to one side of the the machine or the other so that I could unroll the sod without walking on the sod I had just laid down. The sod farm built there rolls on 4" abs tubing so the max outside diameter of the cones is 5". The bearings are hub packages bought a Six Robbles and welded to receiver hitch tubing so that they would slide onto 2" square tubing that the fork arms were made of. To get the side to side motion from the fork I used the same trick with the receiver tubing. THe hydralics are connected to the aux on the machine The rolls of sod varied in size but 2' to 3' in diameter worked fine. Once you set the roll on the ground you backed out using the tilt to keep the roll on the ground. A hundred foot roll was about 200 sq feet. worked great Scott [URL]http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg301/LANDTEKK/PIC00012.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
