I need something to help prepare my corn seedbed. I plow and then I disk but I'm still often left with lots of clods. The clods make it hard to push my hand planter along (its one of those Earthway type planters). This led to a lot of bouncing and fits and starts that in turn led to uneven seed depth and even a lot of gaps.
I think something live a cultipacker would be ideal for this job but I can't really afford one. But, I know a guy with a pulverizer who might be willing to let it go cheap. It is sort of like this:
But, its a Landpride (not a Leinbach) and it is in decent shape although it is only 5 feet and my rears are at about 6 feet.
Anyway, would a pulverizer function in this capacity? Or would it pack the soil to tightly? And what would a 5' Landpride pulverizer be worth?
I do realize that it probably wouldn't function the way a cultipacker does in regard to pulling it over clover or grass seed that you just spread.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
