The DR Power Equipment Tow-Behind Cultipacker will press your seeds into the soil and greatly improve your rate of germination. The ATV cultipacker also removes air pockets and levels the surface to help resist seed runoff during rainfall. When planting a large area for game food plots or gardens with cover crops, it is essential for good germination that you use a cultipacker for ATVs to press the seeds into the soil so that they are partially buried and in contact with the dirt. Sprouted seeds lying on top of the seedbed will quickly dry out and die. But with this UTV cultipacker you can quickly and easily press the seeds you’ve broadcast into the soil, eliminating air pockets, and increasing germination rates dramatically.
- ATV cultipacker offers a 48 in. working width for quick coverage of large fields and gardens
- Twenty-one 9-1/2 in. diameter cast-iron, knobbed rollers help the cultipacker for ATVs crush dirt clods and level your seedbed
- 1-3/4 in. diameter, solid steel shaft for long life
- Pin hitch attaches to most ATVs, UTVs, or garden tractors
- Simply flip the tongue of the UTV cultipacker over to raise the cast-iron rollers off the ground for easy transport
- Quickly and easily presses the seeds you’ve broadcast into the soil, eliminating air pockets and increasing germination rates dramatically
- Levels the surface to help resist seed runoff during rainfall
- Two 13 in. tires with turf tread for smooth rolling
- Engagement mode automatically lowers the rollers to break up clumps and press seeds into the ground

A cultipacker is a piece of agricultural equipment that crushes dirt clods, removes air pockets, and presses down small stones, forming a smooth, firm seedbed. Where seed has been broadcast, the roller gently firms the soil around the seeds, ensuring shallow seed placement and good seed-to-soil contact.
The term cultipacker is almost exclusively applied to ridged rollers, while the terms field roller or land roller may refer to either a smooth or a ridged roller. Some farmers treat the terms as mutually exclusive, but many others treat the ridged tools as a class of field rollers. For example, C.H. Wendel's Encyclopedia of American Farm Implements and Antiques covers the whole category as land rollers. The term cultipacker appeared in English around 1914 and probably originated as a brand name of the C.G. Dunham Company of Berea, Ohio, which advertised "Culti-Packer" models starting around that time. That company did not have the ridged-roller subcategory to itself by any stretch, as Wendel's book demonstrates, but for whatever reason, its name for its version stuck well in many minds. By the 1920s and ever since, it has been widely used in a genericized sense, at least in some regions of the U.S. if not nationwide. In Britain, an equivalent tool is usually called a Cambridge roller or Cambridge roll; D.J. Smith's Discovering Horse-drawn Farm Machinery says, "The Cambridge roll, named after its makers, was a ring roller made up of numerous equally spaced rings or ridges."
Despite the suggestion of soil compaction in the "packer" part of the name, cultipackers and other land rollers exert high pressure only on the high spots (such as clods); the baseline pressure at the rest of the footprint is not especially high, which is to say, not higher than a person's footprint pressure. A person intentionally stomping hard on a particular spot can pack the dirt tighter than a cultipacker packs it. This is appropriate because seedbeds need only be firm, not excessively compacted. Procedure is used before and after seeding by using ridged rollers to crush dirt clods, remove air pockets, and press down small stones, forming a smooth, firm seedbed

Picked up my new cultapacker on a Saturday morning put it together in no time. In the afternoon we were using it to help settle the beans for our food plots. We were very pleased on how well it work. I’m very happy that I made the commitment and bought this piece of equipment. It was easy to put together and easy to use.

Need a extra hand to put together. Seems to be built well. Performed great.

An easy to put together, tough piece of equipment, that gets the job done. I created food plots and after discing the soil, adding pelletized lime, mixed it in with the disc, I firmed up the seed bed with this tow behind Cultipacker, seeded the fields and re Cultipacked the soil. Made my life easier knowing that small seeds need this vital step for germination. A great implement that will last you a lifetime. You won’t be sorry.

Easy to assembly. Cultipacker would work better if it was a little heavy or had a place to add weight.
