Yeah, it will level it, alright. But assume your tractor is 48"
wide.....do you know how much a 48" section of railroad track weighs?
I don't know for sure, but would estimate 500 lbs or more.

A standard roller is about 20" in diameter and 36" wide. Filled with water,
it will weigh 350 lb. My old Sears tractor has no problem pulling a roller
(and me!). Can you tell me where to buy a rail section? I like the rail
idea because it is easier to hide&store compared to the bulky roller.
