diy cultipacker

[ksJoe]

I threw together a cultipacker using mostly scraps and junk. The only things I purchased for this was 5 60# bags of concrete and the hitch.
Its 10" culvert with 2" pvc through the middle to make a hole for an axle. I put some rebar in the concrete so hopefully it won't break as it bounces around behind the atv.
The axle is 1 1/4" steel pipe. One end of the pipe has threads, the other has a tab on it. The axle passes through the culvert and screws into the frame on the other end.

Don't laugh too hard at the welds. I didn't clean the metal. I just turned up the welder a little extra. And it was windy.

Here's the end of the axle that screws in. I cut the threads off an elbo and welded it to the box tubing so I could screw the pipe into it.


Here's the tab welded onto the other end of the axle.


Ready for assembly

That dog will hunt. Don’t need anything fancy.

Nice job! My brother and I did that exact thing except welded the frame to a 3-point hitch we bought cheap on ebay. Works pretty well, not as good as a real ag cultipacker I imagine, as we've found with our soil that sometimes the seed "floats" on top of the soil instead of being pushed down into it, but better than nothing.
