From Wikipedia:
A cultipacker is a piece of agricultural equipment that crushes dirt clods,
removes air pockets, and presses down small stones, forming a smooth, firm
seedbed. Where seed has been broadcast, the roller gently firms the soil
around the seeds, ensuring shallow seed placement and excellent seed-to-soil
contact.
The cultipacker differs from the roller in that it is made up of many
sections that form peaks and valleys in the soil where packer has been used.
The term cultipacker is almost exclusively applied to ridged packers, while
the term roller may refer to either a smooth or a ridged packer.
