You really want a lot of weight on the roller to pound the road base or what not into place. There really isn't much weight up front of a skid steer, its all in its butt. The machine may weigh 2t, but only be able to exert say 200kg before the front wheels are off the ground.If the roller attachment weighs say 1t, you will get at least that much down pressure, but not a whole lot more. Don't expect the same downward force as you would have on the ride on version. I'd hate for you to spend that much money and be disappointed.</blockquote>
