cover crop drill

[Boomerang]

Looking to drill cover crop on ploughing in spring, and another in stubble in summer, is there a one fits all solution ?

Why do you want to drill small seeds on ploughing , without knowing all the facts that's sounds odd , at the low end a vicon wagtail would do a perfect job , or the high end a Tyne Harrow with a computerized Seeder fitted , drill would be my last choice ,
Suppose it depends what's in your cover crop

Difficult one, some thing like an international 511 or fertilizer spinner followed by straw rake?

I’ve just adapted my short discs do putting my covers in and had some really good results.

It's for a customer who wants to keep soil in good order by using half their available area for a specialist application, and cover crop on the other half . It is odd but it's what they want to do,
Oats first (on ploughing ) then phacelia into oat stubble. They are experimenting and aren't bothered by cost.

If cost is not an issue then an Erth Drill will drill anything and built like a tank , no 1imo

A JD 750 or alternatively a 1590 box drill (can you even get them in the UK?).
