Mornin' Dave,

This is the only other picture I have. It is an old BearCat that is setting on a lot up in Montana.

Packers have a row of roller packer wheels in the front (usually smooth)used to break up the clods, then two rows of heavy spring tooth teeth in the center, followed by another row of packer wheels, but this time, using a crow foot style patterned wheel.

Sometimes the crowfoot and the smooth packer wheels were reversed end for end; depended on the farmer and his soil type.

They are (were) the absolute cat's meow to work plowed ground. One pass with this little tuffie and you're ready to plant.

The downside is that they take a bit of heavy black smoke to tug 'em and a guy certainly wants to be dualed up ahead of the little darlin'. (That's probably why every one you see has a bent tongue brace). :>)

Hope this helps,

Allan
