Cultipacker

[PackerBacker]

Picked up a used 9 foot double cultipacker today. It's a little bigger than I need so what thinking about making it into 2 or 3.

For food plotting, do I need double rollers or can I get away with a single? Any recommendations on sizes?

No on double, a little wider than your tractor

Single is fine, I'd make it just wider than your tire tracks. I made mine to fit the ATV as I like the smaller foot print to follow the contours of the ground better. My ATV foot print is 4' made mine 5'.

If you have enough wheels to make a 4 footer that you want to sell let me know! Or would I want a 5 footer for my wheeler?

If I don't need a double, I should have 12 or 13 feet of wheels left over once I decide how big I want to make mine. I'll be sure to put on here when they are finished to see if anyone is interested.

PB, I would consider keeping a good number of those wheels as well. They do break on occasion and you'll be glad you kept some when they do.

Picked up the cultipacker this morning -

Amazing how many little gems there are all over the countryside just waiting to be brought back to life.

Are you going to sell some extra wheels? I'm pretty sure I have that same packer and I'm missing 3-4 of the large wheels.

 

[PackerBacker]

Still figuring out what sizes we are going to build once we take it apart. I will keep you posted.

What did you pay? I purchased a Dunham 8 foot double cultipacker today, very similar to yours. He was asking $775 and I paid $650. He said he had a guy offer him full price after he already agreed to $650 with me and he told him sorry its sold.

Picked the cultipacker up for $600 and a 6 ft disc seeder for $400.

Congrats on the new toys.
