This is what i have been learning as well. A lot of guys say seed is seed but brassica and clover etc require different depth. If not compacted a lot of seed is lost and never really takes.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to finish up my cultipacker cut-down / refurbishment project. I have tried other methods (dragging a log, atv tires, etc) over at my parents place (about 15 miles away) but they don’t work nearly as good as the cultipacker that I use at home. I would love to have one over at their place, where I was able to kill (3) deer over the last year. The food plots are needing a bit of rework over there.my food plots tend to be long and narrow... I used a lawn roller but it tore up ... I have been trying to minimize what I take into woods... have real sandy soil so I just broadcast and run over back and forth with UTV... no different than using cultipacker.. just have to move over a tire width at a time.
I had also used my 65 hp Massey Ferguson with 4WD and R1 ag tires front and rear.. pulls about 8k lbs... packed real good and plots came in great...but trying to get plots done without so much different equipment. Also stopped discing as it seemed to invite the hogs and they would root the plots real bad ruining themThanks for the reminder. I need to finish up my cultipacker cut-down / refurbishment project.

A friend at work just offered me a good deal on an old Craftsmen 220 volt welder, and I am currently in the process of wiring my shop with 220 volt power. Rebuilding that old cultipacker will be a great first job for that old welder.
