Add-On Culti-Diker Makes Mini Ponds
Making thousands of mini ponds per acre to catch and hold water for crop use isn't a new idea, but it's never been easier than with the new Culti-Dikers from Ag-Vantage. They simply hook on to existing equipment. Best of all, when they're not needed, just lift them up, and they're out of the way.

Add-On Culti-Diker Makes Mini Ponds TILLAGE EUIPMENT Miscellaneous 31-4-42 Making thousands of mini ponds per acre to catch and hold water for crop use isn't a new idea, but it's never been easier than with the new Culti-Dikers from Ag-Vantage. They simply hook on to existing equipment. Best of all, when they're not needed, just lift them up, and they're out of the way.
"The Culti-Diker units are light enough that they can mount right to a drill or row-crop cultivator without tearing it up," says Jeff Jarolimek, president, Ag-Vantage. "We have guys who have used them for four or five seasons, and they've had no problems."
The Culti-Diker bolts directly on the rear shank of most cultivators. Grain drills need a 2 by 2-in. bar mounted across the rear, and then the Culti-Diker is mounted to it. As the unit is pulled through the field, one of three rotating paddles slides into the dirt before flipping over for the next shovel to fill and in turn flip, leaving behind a depression.
Jarolimek says the pockets are 2 to 6 in. deep and 12 in. long by 6 in. wide. The Culti-Diker Max with four paddles digs even deeper, making pockets 6 to 12 in. deep.
"I've had guys tell me the pockets have stayed the whole season," he says. "Others use them after planting until the first or second cultivation in the field. Still others use it on their final trip through the field."
The Culti-Diker is priced at $345 standard or $382.50 with an extra downpressure, heavy duty spring. Ag-Vantage also makes toolbars and track fillers for use in pivot irrigation fields and an extra heavy duty Culti-Diker that requires a separate bar behind a ripper. It weighs 150 lbs.
"The Culti-Diker works in both irrigation and dryland situations and can easily be moved from one piece of equipment to another," says Jarolimek. "If they're not needed, it is simple to lock them up out of the way."
