I didn't want any rows, so took everything off. Now works a treat, and was only 200 quid.We use a Fiona too, just with the coulters hooked up . Perfect for job and cheap drill to find too.
Must be inflation...Ours was 75 pound from collective sale 20 yrs ago, drops seed from 6 to 8 inches up so rows not too bad, drill 20ac of oats with it too.I didn't want any rows, so took everything off. Now works a treat, and was only 200 quid.
We had to do a few bits of reseeding this spring. On one farm we sowed it with the Lemken one pass and on the other they drilled it with a tine harrow. Emergence after the tine harrow was very poor with large bare patches where as the Lemken gave a great strike. I put it down to a better seed bed and seed contact. Extra cost of the one pass would be cheap compared to a poor strike of grass.
We use an old Nordsten drill with the coulters removed, left the pipes so it broadcasts from about a foot high.
Cost £400 about 4 yrs ago, used to get a contractor with an Einbock 6m, can't see much if any difference except the annual bill used to be what I paid for mine.

Remember years ago local farming 'expert' told only sow seed the depth of its size so obviously grass doesn't need to be very deepI agree, doesn't matter how it is put in but seed to soil contact needs to be as good as possible or it can go wrong very readily. Grass is only a small seed.
Does the following harrow cover the seed well enough? So long as it does, I'd be happy with that. Roll until bored and you are done.
