I saw one of them made one time from a culvet pipe. Try put a pipe on the inside of it and then filled with cement. Then on the end they put pillow bloke beqarings and rigged up a tongue to pull it with. Seemed to work well.

I made one from a seven foot roller that came out of a cotton mill. It's 5 1/2" diameter with a bearing on each end. The bearings are bolted to 4" angle at each end that bend inward to form a yoke. Welded across the roller are 14 old rail car wheels. It works great, but its so heavy that if I ever move the cultipacker stays here.

Ron..... ..most NEW cultipackers sell for about $1/lb last time I priced these rare but useful implements. Because of their weight, they are NOT 3-point liftable. My 8N liked to have a hernia lifting arm outta my pick-up bed when I brought my 2-piece cultipacker with broken wheels home from "auction".

Can you make one? maybe. See iff'n you can gitta deal on abuncha old samesize tirerims and stack'em on a HEAVY pipe for 6-ft wide cultipacker. Pull by bridal chain scheme.

Otherwize, try 3-HEAVY RAIL-ROAD ties, chained about 1-ft apart on a bridal chain scheme..... ...Dell

Uh, Dell..I have a question . . . cultipacker in reply to Dell (WA), 05-06-2007 08:52:33

Ok, I have a question or two.

What is a cultipacker? I thought I had it figured out from reading the responses. Sounded like a lawn roller on bigger and heavier. If this is true, what other purpose besides a lawn roller does it have.

And when I got to your response about building one..... "Otherwize, try 3-HEAVY RAIL-ROAD ties, chained about 1-ft apart on a bridal chain scheme".....I got totally confused. That sounds more like something you just drag behind the tractor.

So, what is a cultipacker?

Pooh..... ..cultipacker looks like abuncha railroad wheels stacked side-by-side on a LONG AXLE. But the wheels maybe have 4-in hole and axle is 3" dia. This allows the wheels to uppsie-downsie over big rocks and yet continue to roll as you pull across the ground. Everyother wheel is notched like bicycle chain crank'em. The little notches are great for pushing grass seed into the ground when improving pasture.

A big roller is 1-piece and just forces rocks into ground and compacts the soil.

The rail-road tye scheme also drags dirt from high-spots and fills low-spots and compacts the soil.

Why do you haffta pack soil? Subsoil moisture capillary action. After you plowed and disked the soil, it is full of air. You then must PACK the soil so the roots of yer newly germinated plants gitt sumptin to drink via capillary action. And why do you rollpack? 'cuz its eazier to pull behind yer tractor. And you thought it was all because of rainwater? Silly boy (grin)..... ....Dell the packer

Dell, You sure know how to explain and express your self; wished I had that ability. That's why I check out your posts before I read the sports and funny pages.
Bonnan, a great admirer!(grin)

Good explanation.

But I thought air in the soil was good.

Our garden is only about 24x36. So we water it. we don't have to depend on capillary action from the soil.
