Grass seeder on ring roller

[Hsals]

I'm thinking of putting a air seeder on set of rollex ring rollers, anyone had any experience of using anything like this. Good or just a mad bad idea?

What are thinking of sowing into what sort of seedbed?

 

[Hsals]

Probably ploughed,rolled and power harrowed

I do it this way:

First pass with grass harrows, then second one at an angle with the rolls.

You obviously get on fine with it but I get concerned that the seed isn't covered enough to cope with a dry spell. We trickle behind a power harrow and am considering Some kind of mat to scratch it over behind.

It’s the biggest weakness of the system, but the grass harrow on the first pass helps with at least half of it!

Years ago, we used to sow all grass with a seed box mounted on the back of a Cambridge roll, as did many others. We used to run a set of zig-zag harrows afterwards, then roll again iirc (it was a very long time ago).
An air seeder would just be a modern version of that, so would work just like the seed box did.

Would putting tubes and plates for seeder in front of shatter paddles on roller work or maybe change them for spring tines.

This is what we use for slug pellets and Avadex would work for seed as well

Sowed many, many acres with a stocks seeder box mounted on the front of a 9ft Cambridge roll back in the early 2000’s. It all came up! I had a few acres fail last autumn with my current set up of a stocks Wizard on my grass harrows, probably due to seedbed not being firm enough

Which would you say is better roller or harrow?

This is what we use here , works well , generally cross sow do
