Cultimulcher Questions

[tractor71]

I have been looking for a cultipacker and ran up on this cultimulcher for sale. the price is right. Here is my question.... The cultimulchers I have seen on the web have 2 sets of rolls. This one only has one. Is this cultimulcher missing a set of rollers or do some only have one set?

Can anyone tell me about this type of equipment? I am planting 5 acres of food plots.

That should do the job just fine. You don't really need two rollers.

Ken Sweet should be here any minute to expand on the subject.

I never saw a cultimulcher with 1 roller, however, I don't see why that setup won't work. Be careful with sowing legumes and using the tines. You can get the small seeds too deep for germination. Ken Sweet

If you don't like the results of one pass you can always hit it again.

I found a 7 ' cultipacker closer to the house and decided to go with it. Worked all weekend getting 2 acre plot ready and got my wheat in the ground right before the rain. Hopefully it will be green soon and the deer will like it.

As they're used around these parts (were used....before no till took over) Cultimulchers are more of a seedbed prep tool. They were popular for working soy bean fields prior to planting back when most of the beans were planted with row units (rather than solid stand w/ drills)

I was at a consignment sale a while back where there was a Deere cultimulcher (double roller) that had the tines removed, and an old E-Z-Flow drop spreader rigged in between the rollers. Seller had used it to plant native grass areas on his hunting ground. Go to enough consignment sales and you'll eventually see every Rube Goldberg invention ever thought of...
