I built me an ATV cultipacker
I built this over the last couple week in preparation for fall deer planting. Im not sure who here has ever farmed or used one but they are AMAZING for establishing a great seed bed and make some awesome food plots.
Anyways, its 12" corrugated pipe filled with concrete. 1.25" axle housing permanently inside and 1" axle going through it. Its removable with ubolts for greasing and maintenance. Ill likely add some pillar block bearings in the future. I built and welded everything with my new MIG, love that thing.

Stinky, that's a thing of beauty. How did you find the center of the pipe so there's no wobble while towing it? I agree on migs being a nice easy all around welding machine. Is your's flux wire feed only or can you use gas also?
Damn, that's a sweet looking rig. I wish I had the land to use and the skills to make things like you do.

Thanks alot brother I appreciate it. I cut out plywood inserts for the concrete stage of the build and drilled the holes dead center. They were screwed in with deck screws through the plastic pipe. Once dry I removed the plywood as its no longer needed.
 There is also 6" pieces of rebar welded across it inside the concrete to help keep it from ever breaking loose. The "rack" on top was for added rigidity but also to use if I want to add weight. Total it weighs about 350-400lbs but I can always throw sacks of seed/fertilizer on there or ratchet strap a log or weights to the top as I do with my disc. It works really well, I tilled and cultipacked my garden last weekend.

Looks great Stink!
You know of course you automatically tripled the value by painting it green right?

Very nice Stink!!
Just think....You could weld some rebar to that angle iron then flip the thing over and have a helluva drag tine..... Wish we had a packer like that. We still haulin around a pallet with four sand bags on it!!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Destroyer, Ive got two plastic drums for just such a situation. A 30 and a 55 gallon. Going to try it as is but take the 30 in case. If I need it I can use my pump setup I use for spraying to fill it in the creek. This was two weeks ago at the hunting property spraying herbicide.
