Hi, I'm looking for a 5 to 6 foot cultipacker in good condition. Does anyone know where I can find one at a reasonible price? Single or Double would be fine. I know about Sweet Farm Tractors and their prices or too high. Thanks

I have a 8ft single roller unit if that would help. It was originally horse drawn. It just needs a new tongue put in it would work fine behind tractor then. $75.00

Thanks, I might be interested in your offer. Where do you live? Do you have a way to load the unit on a trailer?

Rick you didn't tell me what your website address is. Anyway you live in Iowa and I live in Georgia. Too far to travel just for an old cultipacker. Any way you could ship it at a reasonable price. Thanks, Ronald

You can make one easily from 18, 24, etc. inch diameter culvert. Weld cookies in each end, if you make a watertight weld you can add water or other liquid ballast for more weight. I made a 13 foot with 20 inch gas pipe and 22.5 inch truck tires. Welded half-inch dia pipe the length of the gas pipe, at 90 degree spacing, to fill in OD to 22 inches. Found some 2 7/16 inch shafts with bearings- put two cookies on each end (made from one-half inch steel plate), with three foot stub shafts. Cut holes in the inside cookies and it holds over 1600 lbs water to squash clumps, push down rocks, etc. Cost about $300 plus time. Works fine, empty or full, no extra transport needed like with a cast iron packer- just rolls down the road behind the JD8300 drill.

JMS,

I think we are talkin about two different things here. I think you are refering to a roller or a press. This is a packer used for working plowed ground:

 That is a Pulvi-Mulcher(TM) in reply to Allan in NE, 10-11-2004 05:38:03  
That"s what Brillion calls "em, anyway. Other companies call them roller-harrows or packer-harrows. Culti-Packer was a term used by another company (Dunham, I think) for a pulverizer (no harrow teeth) with either crowfoot or notched ductile iron wheels instead of smooth wheels. Around here, if you say roller, it means a smooth drum type machine, like you use on asphalt. If you say packer, it means a pulverizer with iron wheel segments of some sort with no teeth on it. If you say packer-harrow, it"s what"s in the picture.

You're right- I didn't pay enough attention to the 'culti' portion of the question. We don't see them around here, although you might find a few in more southern areas of the state, where clods are a problem. Packers are just getting popular here, primarily to save some alfalfa seed and aid emergence of row crops.

Yup - I just picked up a 8' with 2 4' wings of a single packer at auction for $120. The wood bearings need to be made, but that's easier than worn out steel ones! :)

The culti-packers are very rare around here, saw 2 sell over the years. But a simple packer is getting more popular again. Used to just harrow it in.

paul- that's a good buy. I have a couple ten footers for sale now for $225- don't need them when the cows and alfalfa are gone.

JMS, i opened my email, shoot me a line.

Depending upon the usual, I might be interested in both of em. Been kind of thinking of using a packer behind the bean drill.

Here's a few idea's...First, small cultipackers,(6' or smaller) are a LOT harder to find than bigger anymore. MOST of the bigger ones can be made smaller with a reasonable amount of work and/or remaking a frame. (BTDT on about a dozen of 'em) If you see a good 10'er, and it looks easy to shorten, there's your answer.

That lessens the difficulty of finding one, somewhat...They still sell high though. John

 Day late, and a dollar short..... in reply to RDC, 10-10-2004 09:17:39  
I was at a consignment sale yesterday at Central Hardin High, in Elizibethtown, Ky. They sold 3 nice ones for under $100 each. I'm kicking myself now for not buying one of them myself. John
