Rolling Alfalfa with the 1936 Farmall F 30 N

Every spring we cultivate alfalfa. This is typically done with some sort of danish harrow (spring tooth), drag harrows, and a heavy liquid-filled roller. This is due to our long winters and the damage that is done to the alfalfa fields, as well as the large amounts of rocks that we have in our fields.
On a typical setup, the cultivator levels out the mice mounds and breaks up last years stubble. Then the roller flattens it out and pushes down rocks, as to make the field less bumpy and to have less rocks for the swather (windrower, mower, or whatever your area calls them) to have less rocks to damage the cutting bar.
However, this alfalfa field was only planted last year. Due to the plants being young and the roots not deep, we don't use a digger on the fields for the first full year of the crop growth.
That being said, needing to only pull the roller made for a great excuse to get out and use one of the old tractors. Where the F-30 hasn't had a lot of tasks on the farm as of yet, we thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to put it to work and have a few hours of enjoyable (though bumpy) seat time. It also made for a good opportunity to take some photos and videos.
The video also contains a John Deere 2010 Utility, which we eventually finished out the field with.

What do you guys use the hydraulic hoses for on the roller?

[@KyleWeber]

When I am done with the alfalfa, I'll hook up the drill to the back of the roller. The hoses and pipe are to connect the hydraulics to the drill. :)

Beautiful country, is the roller loaded?? Any idea what it weighs? Like your videos

[@KyleWeber]

Thank you! Yes, it's full to the top of water. I'm not exactly sure what it weighs, but it's heavy!
