It is really hard to find cultipackers at a reasonable price in my area. I've been looking for several years. I found one on Craigslist a couple years ago but before I could even get to see it, someone called the guy and gave him the asking price over the phone sight unseen. A week or so ago, I was googling around and found on in a neighboring stage about 4 hours away at a dealer. It was a 10' brillon for $950 and looked in good shape. I called and they said it sold recently.
Then, on Friday night after working at the farm I just happened to check Craigslist and found one just posted that was only a 20 minute drive. It was an 8' double cultipacker. I made arrangements to see it Saturday AM. It has one broken wheel and another cracked wheel on the back cultipacker but the front looked in good shape. The grease fitting all took grease easily. The guy was only asking $600 for it so I jumped on it. When I've needed to use a culipacker in the past I used my Kasco no-till versadrill. It uses a cultipacker to cover the seed, but it is only a 4' drill. So, it takes forever if I'm just using it as cultipacker.
Here it is:
There is a sprocket on one of the axles. I presume it was at one time part of a seeder. I'll see how it works with my spring plant soon!
Thanks,
Jack
