    kuhn are the best

    ya id have a bit alright. ours is new though so wont be giving problems for awhile we hope. just make sure to grease them often. you will need at minimum 100hp to drive realistically. 130hp would be ideal. slip clutches are grand in them you dont want a slip clutch that will stop with every stone it meets either. you just have to watch that it doesnt collect a stone infront and be dragging it because a big mound of earth will gather infront and also it could make a line which the roller wont roll properly and you will have to go back and do it again. it runs on the 1000 pto
