I'm in the market for a new cultipacker and was wondering if anyone has an Omni Manufacturing or Everything Attachments cultipacker? Pros or cons of either unit? I would like at least a 7' packer. According to the specs, the EA is heavier in a 6' model so I would assume the larger units are as well. Thank you for any help or opinions.

I have ETA's 60"/700 pound/$1,325 Cultipacker. Cultipackers are pretty basic implements; cast iron rollers on an axle.

I like the weight of the ETA units. One function of Cultipackers is to flatten dirt clods in the seed bed. Weight does this.

I keep the ETA Cultpacker on my Three Point Hitch 80% of the time as compact rear ballast. I have air filled R4/industrial tires on my tractor. 700 pounds functions as everyday ballast and as counterbalance for 1,000 pound lifts on the FEL.

The stands are sturdy. One of the easiest implements to mount on the Three Point Hitch.

I use the Cultipacker for rolling/leveling lawns and woodland trails and for rolling in seed in deer food plots as well as rear ballast.

ETA weights, January 2013:

60" / 700 pounds

72" / 800 pounds

84" / 900 pounds

96" / 1,000 pounds

I have five implements from ETA. Good quality, excellent customer service.

The yellow ETA Cultipacker will complement the colors of your Deere tractor.

I have had a Omni 72" cultipacker for several years and while it is somewhat lighter than the EA 800 lb unit, it has the added suitcase weight bracket enabling the weight to be increased a/n. I have not used it hard but it works great with no problems.

I've also acquired several implements from EA. They've been great. When I purchased a cultipacker, I went to Edwards Implement and bought an 8' unit. This unit weighs about 900 lb and uses steel wheels. I hitch this to a YJR080 tiller when prepping food plots. Edwards is at Cultipacker.

What was the price on the 8' Edwards?

At the time I purchased it about $2,100 shipped with both a 3 pt hitch and a drawbar.
