This guy does some great work. I need to build an 8' version of this. I always have uneven ground after disking my food plots. A chain drag does ok but this should be my answer. One of my main problems would be getting the bearing set up perfectly (centered,type,proper connection) on the rolling baskets. What do you think. This attatchment is called a "cultimulcher" I believe. I also though about using some different sweeps as well.
Reply:Some times just dragging a hunk of telephone pole or the like behind your disk will do what you want.You basically want a perfecta II which they make in your size, see link and click on "see full specifications"http://www.unverferth.com/um/seedbed...e/perfecta.php
Reply:Yea I already called unverferth $$$$ big time. I have alot of old disk parts and steel I want to cobble together. Most of this build will be real easy except I have to get a plan for the rolling basket and bearing situ.
Reply:It would be nice to have two sets of crumblers and then inter-changable culti-packers depending on what I was planting. Hmmm . So basically, 8' wide, length what ever is appropriate, adjustable leveler board first then crumbler two rows of tines and then crumblers on the back that could adjust and interchange with cultipackers. I will probably look at doing two 4' sections.
Reply:I've seen some guys dragging a piece of chain link fence material with a couple of 4x4s or 6x6' attached for added weight behind a 4 wheeler to level food plots. Just roll it up and lay on the back rack of the ATV for traveling.Cheap, simple and effective set up.

Reply:one 8 footer will prolly work i just saw that unverferth did two 4's and two 6's would be to big. i thought maybe and 8' would be to wide. i like that disk you posted a pic of. i wonder where you could find disk parts like that?

Reply:Are you sure the baskets will work for you? I did some mounting work for two different farmers that tried using baskets like that. One quit using them due to clogging up. The other quit using them because they beat the **** out of the mounts and would fall off the tool bar. Both of these guys were covering a lot of ground so for a food plot YMMV.My name's not Jim....
Reply:I have as much ground as I want to deal with. However, the ground I am already planting takes a long time and beats the crap out of you b/c its unlevel. My buddy has what they call a "do all" and it works ok but its only for breaking clods and leveling. I want a tool that breaks clods provides secondary tillage and a nice firm, level seed bed. Right now I break all of my fields with a offset disk and then comeback with 3 point to level it out and then comeback with a drag if I have time. I am trying want to take it from 3 steps to two with even better results. I have plenty of tractor to make it happen.The baskets will work.Last edited by Katcracker; 01-17-2012 at 07:38 PM.

Reply:I am going to try to get some of the brackets and parts for the crumblers plasma cut. How do you charge when you plasma cut something?
Reply:No rolling piece of machinery will produce a truly level field. A disc will follow the original contour of the field without leveling it, same with the rolling basket thingies.To truly achieve a level uniform seedbed you need to drag it with a springtooth at a diagonal to the last implement path used on the field.Old style drag springtooths can be had for less than a hundred bucks. Newer folding springtooths can be had for around 500 bucks.Remember to always drag at an angle to the furrows/irretulatities you want to level. Each springtooth acts as a shovel to place dirt in the low spots, and to knock down the high spots.Cultipackers and mulchers are the reason we had a dustbowl in this part of the country. You DO NOT want a bunch of fine dirt particles. It's asking for wind and water erosion. You would be surprised at how well almost all seeding equipment does in slightly cloddy ground.

Reply:Would something like this help? http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=23699see post 6. I'm planning on making a small one similar to this in the spring. The wheels are expensive, so I'm shopping around.Dave ReberWadsworth Ohio
Reply:Yea that is what I started out wanting to build but I would like to put my 2nd pass in and level at the same time so I can speed things up. I am not worried about dust bowl since I am planting in MS. Water aint a problem and avg wind is about 3mph.
Reply:You say your doing food plots, I assume not that much ground to cover, what about a 3 point tiller on the tractor, they do a really nice job and it should be pretty much one pass. Sure you go slower but you also have only one trip across the field. It also isn't going to ridge like it sounds your offset disk is doing. |
