Cultipacker

[kebo]

Can someone please explain what a cultipacker does? I have been looking for a old 3 pt. disc to work over a old field and came across a culitpacker I can pick up pretty cheap. I just don't know if I need it!

This is what a cultipacker does for me. I use a cultivator first, then disc it, then run over it with the cultipacker to create a nice, firm seed bed.





Here's mine that I found on CL, it's a 5 1/2' homemade job that was converted to work on a 3pt hitch. It also has four shanks on it which can be adjusted as far the depth goes. Believe it or not, that set up works quite well. :thumbsup:

I have a cultipacker for planting ww-b Dahl grass seed. It's a tiny seed that does 10x better in packed soil. I drilled one field where there was a section that had a skid steer run over it multiple times. That small area looked like someone's yard a year later.
