Been nosin' around for a Dunham 14' packer like this one I found out on the left coast.

They are really a sweet little packer, but take around 80 dualed up IH ponies to tug.

Trouble is, someone has yanked the second row of teeth off this one. That won't do.

So, I keep a lookin' I guess,

Allan

Allan, you need to find yourself an IH 315 cultipacker. It might be built a little lighter than the one in your picture, but it does a great job. Don't think you need too much power to pull them. Our's is a 14', and the 786 will pull it in Hi 3 and you don't even know it's back there.

Do they have crowfeet wheels on the front of that one? I can't really tell.

I always wanted to get a cultimulcher..... .A 12fter. Always found 14's and one 10ft JD I almost bought. But the one was too small and the other was too big. I always wanted a 12ft Brillion.

We borrowed our neighbors 12ft Brillion to seed hay as you really need one for that, but I found that a 12 ft packer behind the disk worked just as good as a cultimulcher and saved a trip over the field for row crops..... ..... .

Hi TP,

The one in the picture has crowfeet on the front. I'd rather have 'em on the back, because with the smoothes back there following the spring teeth, they sometimes "mud up".

Smooth rollers on the front seem to work the best, for me anyway.

We used to fight that plowed ground 'til we were black in the face trying to get a good seedbed without the tire tracks affecting the crop. When these things came out, it was like a breath of fresh air.

Yep, the 14' size will really work an 80 horse tractor. Seems to me that we pulled this thing with a 766D in third/low? (Can't remember, anymore) :>)

Allen, just curious, I know you have that pristine 686 and now the "being rebuilt" 966 and the H. Are you planning to farm this coming spring, or just have 'em for fun?? And, there's certainly nothing wrong with that!! Merry Christmas in Farmall Land....CMore

Had this very conversation with the wife just a few days ago. We are picking up all the equipment we need as we can find it.

She tells me to grab 'em as I find 'em. :>)

So, the question is, where in the sequence of things do I insert that already bought 966 so it looks somewhat "inconspicuous" and a "happenstance" purchase? :>)

Doubt if we will be in the dirt this spring, as the present tenant has a crop on the place, which won't come off till midsummer. Then by golly, I can get my hands dirty! :>)

At 60 years old, I really feel like I am racing the clock.

Allen, even if the bulk of the acreage is unavailable, could you find 5 acres to get on earlier? There is something to be said for going after your dreams. 'Smaller' is lots of times better anyway. Just a thouight. Glenn F.

It would take Allan all of 5 acres just to turn the 966 around.

To all you Huskers out there and all you Farmall people;

Merry Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year. And dont party too hearty.
