  Brilliant. Well done. That's a heavy beast.
  
  Now for the ignorant question… what is a cultipacker used for?

  It presses the seed into he ground for good ground contact.Additionally it make grooves for the water to soak into.I have found that when broadcasting seed the seed germinates in the bottom of the grooves just like you planted it in rows.Must have equipment for the food plotter.

  I'm not an expert farmer but, for small seeds like clover, chickory and alfalfa etc it is imortant that they make good contact with the soil and not be buried too deep. I planted about 1.5 acres of clover last spring that didn't germinate because I used a heavy fence drag to cover it. Now I disc, fence drag(to smooth), broadcast my seeds and then cultipack. Hopefully this will work better.

  I learn something new everyday. Not always something good but new at least. Today is a good day. Thanks for the education.
