Can any one tell me if one of these packers will level land behind a disc My problem is when we plant coastal bermuda grass we disc it in and pull a pipe roller behind disc and this does not leave the field smooth (it is very rough) Trying to figure out a better way Thinking about a Howard Rotovator ,might be too slow,and wondering about those Brillion cultipacker,Can't use a drag of some kind because it will pull the sprigs out of the ground, Any help would be appreciated.

A Rotovator will level the field nicely! If you plow your field, and disc it several times, then maybe drag it, how long will all this take??? A Rotovater will do a better job at "light speed" compared to all that!! I Rotovate at the rate of just under 2 acres an hour in average going. I'm still Rotovateing out some of the damage in my fields caused by years of plowing and discing that my father did long ago. Robert

You will have to disk until the ground gets completely level. We take a railroad beam and use it as a drag. I think it is funny how we have always tried to get rid of bermuda and now we (including myself) are growing it for a major horse hay crop. There is no finer piece of equipment for sowing bermuda and other grasses than a brillion cultipacker. We have had ours since 1979. If you can find one you better go get it and take it right behind that disc. Don't put the teeth to deep.
My two cents.

As long as you use one of those with two rollers with diggers in between it will work. We use ours to level some moldboarded and chiseled ground each year. Should be no problem to follow a disk. In ground with little trash I run the diggers so that they are digging pretty good, in stalk ground I throw the lever into float and go. Might plug every once in a while, but not very often.

A cultipacker won't help much for leveling soil. A disk will help but a drag is probably the best bet. Are you plowing the field first?
