Your cultipacker is too pretty to be putting it in the field. Sit that one in the front yard and get you an old junker like I have for the field. .

First year I planted some buckwheat and it started to bloom I went up one morning to goof off and check on my cameras. It was a heavy dew that morning and when I was nearing the less than quarter of an acre patch it looked funny, the white blooms weren't white anymore. When I got closer to actually see it was covered in yellow butterflies. They had to be numbered in the thousands and working the plants like a swarm of bees. Pretty sight seeing all those bunched together so there must be something there the butterflies like to eat.

The bees, the few that's still here, go for the clover mostly but they do work the buckwheat too. Around here when we done bees we got wild flower honey a dukes mixture of flowers. It's good honey and could sell all we could harvest but lots of work trying to keep the bees healthy. It's a constant battle against the parasites and mites not to mention the hornets and birds.

Yesterday I paid a visit to Buty at his home in Georgia. He had posted a ballast box for sale on craigslist. I did not know he is a member here until we started talking about tractor stuff. His place is a piece if heaven. Very nice young man! Thanks again. Buty for the good deal! That cultipacker is a work of art.

My buddy, passed on now, used to go hunting at that private wildlife club up around Crossville. It is a 600 acre reserve with all kinds of exotic animals. Several kinds of big horn sheep, wild russian hogs, and trophy deer plus a lot of other stuff. Him and his wife would go up and hunt and stay a couple of days. The owner had a few medium size trailers to stay in. I live about 30-35 miles from Canton, GA off Hwy 411 / 20 before getting to Rome, GA.

Buty can use his cultipacker for ballast now. Maybe he won't get it dirty using it that way.

Steave, we bought some land up by Crossville. Will be building house up there after our house sells. Dont know about hunting preserve uo there. Would like to though. Buty needs 700 lbs of ballast so cultipacker wont do

What about filling his back tires with beet juice for extra weight?.

I don't need any ballast but where do you buy that beet juice. Most folks around here use Rim Guard or Calcium Chloride. Calcium Chloride is what rusts your rims. Beet Juice or Rim Guard won't rust is what I've heard. Sorry Buty for hyjacking your thread. I'm done now.

Beet juice is rim guard

OK thanks.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Rodnok, nice meeting you too and thanks again for the purchase.
