A pair of cultipackers that together cover the width of the drill. 12' Van Brunt FB ( I think). Usually behind my Oliver 1600.

Harrow it as a seperate pass, but nothing behind the drill. Too cumbersome to refill the drill.

I don't know what a Cultipactor is.

I am planting my first field of Pearl Millet and they said sew shallow and seed-soil contact was important. So I bought a roller that was made for a 3pt, but I put a tongue on the other side that I could connect to my JD drill and do it all in one pass. The thing is full of water and weighs about 700# over 6'.

Usually drilled Sudan/sorghum and it was drilled deep and the little chains dangling behind the coulter was enough to get it going.

We'll see how things go this year.

before we had a press drill we would drag it with a spiketooth a day after seeding and if seeding alfalfa we also rolled it with a Western land roller, often the ground was too damp right after seeding to pull a roller behind the drill, in sandier or drier soils that might not be an issue

Either nothing or a Brillion cultipacker "depending".
