Cultipacker re-worked

[Agrantina]

Planted 4 of my plots this Saturday and used the new cultipacker I made. It worked great but ran into a problem with getting my drag from one plot to another. Got tired of picking it up and throwing it on the Kawasaki mule.. I was spreading the rye, oats and winter peas in the fresh tilled dirt then cultipacking them in then run a drag over it to cover the seed in the cultipacker groves. Worked great last year getting the larger seeds in the ground 1-2 inches. Then I spread my clover and cultipacked over them with the NO drag. I figured there was a better way to do this!! So I made a way to hang the drag on the packer when I was not using it and transporting it to each plot. I can easily drop the drag down behind the packer and press the larger seed in the soft dirt and drag over it in one pass NOW.. Drag is an old hitch all basket-- Pics below.

Once again nice work and great brainstorming ! :thumbsup:
Start mass produceing them wider and add the same option on rear,it will be a great excuse to buy another but larger displacement tractor and keep both !
