homemade cultipacker

**choco-lab** · 06-19-2011, 09:16 PM

I have been looking for a used or inexpensive cultipacker for a while. I finally decided to build one to pull behind my 4-wheeler.
I took a piece of cold rolled steel and bought some cultipacker wheels. I made the frame from square tubing. I made a hitch that can be flipped so you can roll over the attachment and pull with wheels or packers down depending on how far you need to go. Probably weighs between 300-350lbs.
I figure for small seed such as clover I can disc, roll, spread seed, and then roll again and I'll be set.

Looks very good.

So how much do you want for it? LOL

how much did you end up having in that one? Been thinking of doing the same thing.

I looked at several on the internet. Here is a commercially available one for atv's.

I had about $350 in this one. I bought all the steel from the local metal shop down the street. I haven't run it over freshly plowed dirt yet. For my small food plots and shooting lanes I think it will be heavy enough. If it needs more weight I had planned on welding some brackets on the top and just laying a piece of railroad track or some thing heavy across top. As soon as we get some rain I'm going to go run it and i'll let you know how it does.

Where did you buy the cultipacker wheels. i have seen them at agri-supply, but once you bought enough the cost was almost not worth the effort.

Yea, I bought them at Agri-supply. The wheels were a little over $200 with the bearing blocks. They are about $8.99 per wheel. It takes around 24 to make a 5 ft wide roller. The rest was a little over $100. So it was definately worth the effort. I had about $350 in it and I couldn't find one for less than $700-800.
