Have a set of 4m folding discs that I want to fit a seeder on for sowing grass and cover crops. What options are there out there, stocks turbo jet, bullock tillage, any others worth looking at? Does any one have any recommendations, or ones to stay away from. Would prefer second hand if anyone knows of one for sale, as won't be doing a vast acreage.

Cheers Joe.

Arable farm machinery sale or https://amtec-group.com/farm-agricultural-machinery/drills?page=1#listing-scroll.

Would be better on a Cambridge roller so sow after discing.

Possibly, only reason for putting it on the discs is if it's a catchy/ damp time I can get the sowing done with the discs. Then if it comes on wet, rolling it in not as important. Up here harvest is quite late and every day counts when getting a cover crop established.
