I borrowed a neighbor's land leveller to work over the field I will plant to beans in the spring. I've never used one before and I really like what it does.It seemed to leave the ground pretty well packed as well as level. I will be using it on the field in which I will be planting winter wheat tomorrow. In the opinion of this group that may have more experience, will that leveller leave the ground packed well enough to plant into and could I eliminate my normal rounds with the cultimulcher (thereby saving some fuel)? I'm chisel plowing and will disc and harrowgate (as necessary). Normally I would them go with the cultimulcher. Your opinions appreciated.

Here in Oregon we pull the cultimulcher in front of the grain drill planting winter wheat. But we plow and then level with a Dickson type heavy harrow....James

No till drill or reular drill? Around here the cultimulcher is only used for alfalfa

you need some loose dirt to plant in that will allow you to cover the seed at least. how are you going to plant the seed? with a drill or broad cast. land leveler will leave the ground to packed to plant in.

johns48jdb: I drill my wheat with a Melroe press drill. The reason I ask is that in comparing the ground that I levelled with freshly cultimulched ground, the consistencies are very similar. I think will run the empty drill over a section of levelled ground and see how it does but if people here have already tried this idea and it doesn't work, then I may not waste my time. Well, back onto the tractor. Thanks so far! I'll check back on my next break!

hi, i use to work for a man who row cropped 6000 acres and he never, ever planed in behind a cultipacker or land level without at least disking the ground again. both pieces do good to break up clods of dirt, if you've been lucky enough to have rain this year, but they pack the ground to much where roots have a hard time geting through it. good idea using the drill. you know to run the tire track inside the last track you made, i assume. if you don't you will have a skip in between each place the drill runs. one drill disk has to cut out the tire mark that was left from the last pass. i've found that to make the job go faster and easier i start and go around the field and wind my way in to the middle. i don't worry about my corners being sharp and when i get done with it all i go back and plant my corners out or places where you have to turn. that way your front tires are kicking up ruts when your turning and it just makes for a more relaxing job.
