What size cultipacker 5' or 6' ? - 12/29/16 11:44 PM
I found a local dealer that has both 5 and 6 foot LMC cultipackers. The 5 footer weighs 450 lbs. and the 6 footer weighs 515 lbs. Both have 9" wheels. The 6 footer is only $129 more. I have a Kubota L3800 with R1 tires so both sizes will cover my tracks.
Should I go with the 6 footer or will the 5 footer have a greater pressing effect due to the shorter length?

6' is heavier, 6' should have better "pressing" effect.

Don't buy the LMC. I tore up lots of LMC implements until I finally decided they just aren't made heavy enough.

Wow. What tore up on them? I have an LMC disk and bush hog and haven't had any issues with either.

Just using them. Our smallest tractor is 65 pto HP and their implements won't hold up. I broke both arms off one of their box blades and spun out the gearbox on a bush hog. Broke a set of their hole diggers too.

I had a 6' LMC Cultipacker that I used with a 57HP Kubota. The only complaint I had with it was it would have been nice if it were heavier. There were times when trying to break up fields that were "clumpy", it took 2 or 3 passes to bust all the clods. I sold it to a fellow Aldeer member a couple of years ago.

Turkey, it's working great behind my 39HP Kubota.

Good deal. Glad you're getting good use out of it.
