Can anyone tell me how to calculate the compression load from a lawn roller? I want to roll my lawn to smooth out some ruts. The biggest roller that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is a roller that is 48 inches wide and 24 inches in diameter, weighs 910 lbs when full of water. I have a TC40D with turf tires. They are not loaded. The width of the roller should cover the distance between my tires. The question: Is this weight roughly equivialent to the weight displaced by the tires of my tractor? The specs on the tractor show 3300 lbs. Turf tires are 27x8.5-15 in front and 44x18-20 in the rear. I know there is some formula that should work here based on the weight vs Width vs diameter but it has been a long time since.....
