I have been thinking about making a simple roller since new or used 3 point cultipackers are crazy expensive... I would pull the roller over after spreading my seed to get good soil contact. If I use a roller I can use my UTV or Lawn Tractor. Cultipacker would most likely require my bigger tractor.
Do you all think a roller is as good as a cultipacker or should I splurge on the cultipacker?
Thanks,
Bill
I was lucky enough to find an old cultipacker for a couple hundred bucks... I've been told by several that it makes a big difference so I'm giving it a go this year!
That is my plan. I love the 3 point cultipacker but geez too expensive. A lawn roller would be fine.
I know people that have used the inexpensive lawn rollers just fine.
I am in the same boat, would like to get a cultipacker but I have 4k invested in foodplots so far this year - maybe next year
