I used a pulverizer made by Gill for about 5 years doing prep work for sodding and seeding grass. They are a fantastic implement. The trick with them is to use your 3 point hitch hydraulics "actively" to help drop material into low spots and take the top off of high spots; which requires the operator to be looking backwards most of the time. Also, running in overlapping circles helps to get to level faster in most cases. I currently have two roller version that I just recently purchased. It is better than the single version in my opinion. Adjusting the top drawbar even one turn can make big difference in what your results will be.
☝️☝️he gets it…..cut my teeth in landscape and grading business with a 60” double roller gill bar. Hydraulic top link is a must if you are a perfectionist. I now use a Harley rake on a skid steer.
I've used one of those. You can go forward and backward with out lift it. Also if you plant to be in soft ground mostly, I suggest a cultipacker instead of the roller. Also a hydraulic top link is the biggest game changer.
Great video Courtney. I have a similar pulverizer. It is great from leveling a yard. I always am looking back and watching the soil that is built up in front of the attachment and then lift the attachment in low areas to drop the dirt off. Driving in circles with this also helps too for leveling instead of just straight lines.
You can use the pulverizer after the tiller. Adjust the top link out so the back roller has a little more pressure on it. It helps firm up the seed beds a little
That looks nice and versatile. And I could see that being easily turned into a multiple tool. After a couple passes, the stakes could be lowered to dig a bit more. Then pull them out, and put a bar or beam to level and plane, maybe using the outer 2 stake slots as mounts. And after loosening, seeding, leveling, have a smooth roller to swap the rear spiked roller, and use it to compact the ground again. Ps, love the channel, all the information, demos, etc. And I don't even own a tractor. Lol but I've spent time around, and worked on a few.
I've used these for 30 years and have a 7 footer with double rollers at present. I've also used one with a culti packer, it's better than the rollers. The best way to use them is to have your ground just about ready to sow grass seed, then use the pulverizer, sow the seed, then use the pulverizer lightly to cover the seed. They are also great at incorporating fertilizer or lime etc. into the soil.
I have used a double roller Pulverizer for about 15 years. On my third set of shanks which are expensive to replace. I use it mainly for dressing my gravel roads after a couple passes with the box scraper. But it really excels with final prep of dirt before seeding. Bought it used originally. Just keep the roller bearings greased. My 3720 was just barely powerful enough to pull it. The 4066R has no problem. One of my favorite attachments.
Had 28 dump truck loads of dirt brought in to build up my front yard. After leveling it out, i used my disk harrow and pulverizer to work up the ground. Did an amazing job and the yard is the smoothest on all my property. I guess I’ll need to do the rest of my yard now :)
Heck yeah, I may be doing some of that this summer as well! Those results definitely give me more confidence knowing it can turn out well. Did you roll or compact it?
@@GoodWorksTractors i rolled it after i used the pulverizer. Then i used the pulverizer again but angled it so only the rear roller was touching to make a seed bed. When this video is posted to fb, ill post pics in the comments.
I had one of those pulverized 5' Land Pride single roller on the back. Used it for leveling new yards for seed prep, horse arenas, softball fields. But only on clean soil no grass clumps or sticks. Had used it in some rocky soil and pulled rock to end of rows, lift it up and make another pass etc then bucket up the rock for road and soil erosion spots on property.
Great old-school piece of kit. Before rock hounds and Harley rakes every landscaper brought a box scraper, York take and a pulverizer to a seeding job.
Looks like the pulverizer would work great to prep for seeding a new area. After seeding you could use your dethatcher to cover up the seeds and then a roller to get great germination rates.
I find you're videos of just driving the tractors around. to be some of the most relaxing visuals to be had on UA-cam. That, teamed up with the banjo music is just what I need to decompress after a day on the job. Makes me want to sell out in the city, and buy a hundred acres and a tractor. Thanks for posting. Be well.....
Iam pretty impressed with that. I have known about them for years but never seen one used. I think that would be good to use before a box blade in some cases. Thanks for showing us this implement in use
Hey Courtney//Never used one before. But certainly would be good for leveling winter ruts and ovweruse as you did. I like the idea of a light till. Great concept. Thanks for sharing.
Compared to a harely rake what are your thoughts. Need to redo a part of my lawn that was disked and planted two years ago. It’s covering in grass now but super rutted and bumpy. Kills my zero turn
Seems to work pretty well, I've used my box blade to do similar jobs, my neighbor welded a removable roller onto the back of his box blade that works really well.
It would be helpful to know HOW you are adjusting things (eg. the top link). For example, "Extending the top link" as opposed to "adjusting the top link". Otherwise, another great video.
I have used a single roller pulverizer and a double roller one and preferred the double roller for a better finish. Ours had spikes and I made extras to keep on hand. I think the shanks would hold up better.
Tha is for the demo...always a plus....can't think of a use for that attachment on my place...but..waiting for the HD stump bucket to be available👍👍😉😉👨🌾🚜👨🌾
I like the video. These works great to prep for seeding and landscaping to collect debris. I personally wouldn’t buy one because of its limited use. But if you are seeding a lot or landscaping a lot then yes I would get one. I personally use a dethacher I bought from y’all to collect debris in my yard or garden. It works great. I need more attachments lol… trying to save for a stump bucket and a few other attachments.
I own an old pulverizer the exact same design as the Dirt Dog version. The reversible shanks are worn out. Other than fabricating my own, do you know how I can purchase replacement shanks? I can't seem to find them through the standard Google search.
Ever find any rock crushers compatible with subcompacts? Have some really rocky ground here, and would love a rock crusher but all the ones I've seen start at 60HP and go up from there. Seeing them in action is nothing short of amazing.
I got a cat 2 6ft box blade that has 9 shanks it also has three lugs on the rear that allow for a roller to be attached behind the hinged blade I wonder if there are any bonuses to this dedicated one vs box blade rigged one .
Like most ranchers/farmers I am constantly fighting the damage done by feral hogs. I wonder if this would work with the clumps of grass involved with hog damage?. Currently I use a disk with a drag behind the disk. It does OK but require quite a few passes. I would be very interested in hearing what others use to "fix" or smooth the damage done by the feral hogs.
Hmm, thinking of basically ripping them from the ground by disturbance with the shanks? If they are shallow rooted and you can drive over them, it seems like it would work in theory. Nothing I've tried out though or seen anyone attempt. You'd want the 72" or 84" on your 4 Series. www.goodworkstractors.com/product/dirt-dog-pulverizer/
When we built our house, our contractor recommended using a gill, which looked exactly like the pulverizer except it had a double roller on the back. I brought in 16 triaxle loads of topsoil to replace what the developer had stripped off my clay to get a good layer of topsoil back on top. I used my contractors skid loader to layer out the top soil evenly and then I rented a tractor with the gill and used it to contour and pulverize the top soil into what almost looked like processed topsoil. It worked fantastic. I hydro seeded after that and have had a fantastic lawn for years. Fantastic as a finish tool!
I could see this being useful where you would normally use a box blade, but don't want to move dirt as much as just rough/level it. I still think someone skilled with a box blade could do everything this does (I know a few guys that are artisans with a box). For someone like me with minimal experience on a box blade, this does many of the same functions, but without the skill required.
Looks like a "Dirt Monkey" (here on YT) kind of piece of equipment. Great looking results in terms of smoothing out and breaking up clods on bare dirt. A great "tractor therapy" type vid.

I have no need for a pulverizer, but that 7 uninterrupted minutes of peaceful pulverizing with perfectly matched music did my soul a lot of good
I had a landscaping/hauling business early 80's. I used a pulverized to put the finish grade on a new lawn. Worked great. Mine had double rollers.
I used a pulverizer made by Gill for about 5 years doing prep work for sodding and seeding grass.

I need to fill in some low water logged area in property. What is the cost of dirt if you don't mind sharing?
@@MHaninZaman mine was $20 a load. Only because my neighbor was digging a pond.

That is a great tool,used it before I seeded,turned out really nice!!
Great video. I like the pulverizer, I could see using it to level my yard. I feel I need a Tiller first. I want to completely redo my yard.
Watched, Liked, Subscribed, Shared, Commented.... good video, relaxing to both the eyes and ears. Love the attachment!
Compared to a harely rake what are your thoughts. Need to redo a part of my lawn that was disked and planted two years ago. It’s covering in grass now but super rutted and bumpy. Kills my zero turn
Thanks for sharing this attachment. I never seen one before. I think it did great for what you were driving over. Have a great Memorial Day!😁👍🚜💨🍳

We use something similar on baseball diamonds. Works great on hardback clay and keeping grass growth at bay throughout the season.
Tha is for the demo...always a plus....can't think of a use for that attachment on my place...but..waiting for the HD stump bucket to be available👍👍😉😉👨🌾🚜👨🌾
Haha, yeah need a specific application for sure. HD bucket about a month from now!
I like the video. These works great to prep for seeding and landscaping to collect debris. I personally wouldn’t buy one because of its limited use.

I think it did absolutely awesome!!!
Rewatched, love the attachment, please share more!
When I had it it was one of my favorite tools for seed planting in New soil.
Best use is for hard pan soil in horse arenas, works great, and leveling yards.
I own an old pulverizer the exact same design as the Dirt Dog version. The reversible shanks are worn out. Other than fabricating my own, do you know how I can purchase replacement shanks? I can't seem to find them through the standard Google search.
Ever find any rock crushers compatible with subcompacts? Have some really rocky ground here, and would love a rock crusher but all the ones I've seen start at 60HP and go up from there. Seeing them in action is nothing short of amazing.
Hey Adam, no, I've not heard of any that will work on small tractors. I have seen videos of the big ones, really cool piece of equipment!
Man that would be handy at my 5 acres. Lots of rocks.
I got a cat 2 6ft box blade that has 9 shanks it also has three lugs on the rear that allow for a roller to be attached behind the hinged blade I wonder if there are any bonuses to this dedicated one vs box blade rigged one .
Nice implement for smoothing rough spots
What’s the black bracket or containers on the quick hitch you have there?
Awesome, I need one. Great video.
These guys and their little tractors
How does it work in new ground with roots? Will it drag them in a pile?
For leveling, which would work best, a pulverized or a land plane?
I thought it was a tillavator for half the video. Now I’m really impressed
Like most ranchers/farmers I am constantly fighting the damage done by feral hogs. I wonder if this would work with the clumps of grass involved with hog damage?. Currently I use a disk with a drag behind the disk. It does OK but require quite a few passes. I would be very interested in hearing what others use to "fix" or smooth the damage done by the feral hogs.
A landscape rake might be worth looking into
Would this attachment work to remove 6 foot tall willows from sandy gravel based soil? What size would you recommend for a 4 Series tractor
Hmm, thinking of basically ripping them from the ground by disturbance with the shanks? If they are shallow rooted and you can drive over them, it seems like it would work in theory.

maybe halfway between a disk and a box blade in function?
I wonder how this would work on hard Missouri Rocky ground?
Looks like a "Dirt Monkey" (here on YT) kind of piece of equipment. Great looking results in terms of smoothing out and breaking up clods on bare dirt. A great "tractor therapy" type vid.
Would this be more effective than a grader blade
How about including southern Arizona to the free shipping?
I would like to see how it does covering up seed. Preferably after the tiller worked up the ground
so, did you ever run this pulverizer over a compacted grave; surface such as a driveway ?
Has anyone used this on a shure-pack (stone dust/rocks) driveway? Still looking for the perfect attachment to maintain mine.
How much does the 72” two roller weigh?
How does this differ from a box blade?
Is it pto driven or is the roller just free wheel, just curious
I bet that hydrostatic transmission is cooking!
Interesting always wondered what those things would be like
Do you have a man basket to use with your forks
Nice video
Great machine pity about the horrible green thing pulling it
ha guess your a orange fan
It seems to do the same work as a rototiller but at a lower cost.
Yeah, kind of similar. Can't go as deep, but for a light till.
Isn,t the tractor a bit to light for this job?
Spend 8k more for a Harley rake or is this good enough
i think it would do really good for arena grooming
At 6 minutes my question is: Do you even have any rocks???
So….. a power rake without wheels?
Lifetime warranty...made in 'murica...just a piece of metal....woooooooow
If the WWE named tractor implements they would all have names like pulverizer 😅
Putting a ad in a ad is stupid.
Ummmm. Very unimpressive.
Looks like a pretty worthless attachment
Lol, alright!
