| I have no experiance with a crumbler/ rolling basket, and was wondering if you guys could offer good/bad advice?
I am hoping this tillage tool pulled behind the field cultivator would break up the clods left after the first pass, and make a smooth/ firm seedbed. I am looking at 33' foot to pull behind our 32' field cultivator.
Is $6,000 a fair market price?
Picture attached not sure how to display it on here.

| Another question is this machine very heavy to help break the clods up? |

Brookston, IN | We have one. It works very well, some times too well leaving things very fine. It is also a major PITA if you have small fields. I would rather have a mounted 3 bar-single roller combo that is now available. |

Summit County, Ohio | I just bought a Brillion Optimizer which is just one rolling basket and pull it behind my 25' Krause disk, wow what a difference compared to a drag harrow. I just planted Oats last week and i had a great seed bed. Only complaint is that if the field has a wet spot do it last, sometimes they can get mud packed up in the baskets. |

| They make a huge difference is seedbed prep and I would not run without one. UM makes a good unit, usually will drop you a gear when hook behind a cultivator.
6k does not sound like it is too much out of line, the later UM's were heavier built (basket axles and bearings) than the early units.

East Central Indiana | We have one just like that one... They work great. We farm some ground by the river... sometimes they double as a rock catcher as well... I think that is a good price on that unit... |

SW Wisconsin | Just got one this past saturday and worked some bean ground yesterday that will go into corn and we are very impressed with ours so far. We are pulling it behind a brillion soil finisher. The finisher has a single bar harrow with the rolling basket and the UM also has the single bar harrow and double rolling basket. Smoothest ground we have ever planted into. Nice and firm seed bed. Very impressed so far. |

Southwest Illinois | The RH II's are getting some age on them. I would make sure it is in good shape.
The RH II's are low to the ground compared to 220's and later so they can drag the road if you rear implement hitch isn't low enough.
I love the job they do. The RH II's and 220's are decent but the bearings are not the best but in all fairness we only replace a few each year. We wanted to get a 1225 to pull behind our field cultivator but the J&M was about $5K cheaper so we went that direction this time. We only plan to use it for beans so the jury is still out as to how well it will work. |

NW Ohio | we have pulled one for 15 years . very happy with what it does for us , if its in good shape that sounds like a very fair price. |

NE Indiana | Them rolling baskets need to be run at 6mph+ to work properly. |
