When people look at my lawn they often comment on how flat and smooth it is, but they are wrong and a short ride on that mower would prove it to them. I’m mowing about 5 acres and want to reduce the time it takes AND make it more tolerable. Last year I was talking to a farmer and he told me he rolls his hay fields every other year and he can cut hay one gear higher (faster). My theory is that I can build this roller and use my SxS to pull it. If it’s too heavy, then I’ll use the Jeep. I think it would be pretty effective after a good rain. I have a derelict 250 gallon propane tank and a local fabricator has quoted me $400 to make it look like this pic, minus the paint. The other part of this plan is to add seat suspension to my mower since the seat bolts directly to the frame. Air suspension is too spendy but spring suspension is about $150’ish. Am I on the right track? Any other suggestions?

Thanx in Advance
