Mornin' Ya ol' devil!

Maybe it is the soil type here, dunno.

But if those smooth rollers are on the back, they are always running in damp soil which the spring teeth/diamond points have kicked up. They gum up and wear the cleaner knives like crazy. If they are up front, they are running in "dryer" soil all the time and just run cleaner and don't "ball up".

But the big benefit of having them set up with the smoothes on the front is that the smoothes are way heavier and they tend to "push" the soil and "level" the land like nobody's business. They work kinda like a leveling bar on the old harrow.

I think these packers are probably my favorite implement. Takes a total nightmare and converts it to a perfect seedbed in one pass.

Pretty sure they were designed fer dummies like me. :>)
