14,000 lbs empty…. 18,000 lbs full. Steel wheels are great for pavement…and “OK” for gravel/dirt …and Best done after a light rain…. But a pneumatic (multiple-tired) roller is better for gravel/dirt and chip/seal regular maintenance.

A motorized, vibrating roller is nice. Lower tech, lower maintenance, holds 109 gal of liquid, the 6' RB-6R

Hey, you laugh, but... Well, nothing to do with PTO or anything, but, when I'm pulling my 500 gallon roller full of water with my B7100... I have to be very careful when turning. 500 gallons of water doesn't like to just change directions on a whim.
Fair point. Physics being what they are.......
