[QUOTE="Ali_Maxxum, post: 6529601, member: 12293"] A customer of mine has asked me to re-seed their 2 main hay fields. We rarely re-seed large areas, we normally just do patches which we rotavate. However for this job I'm obviously going for ploughing. I've spoken to a couple of different people and their methods do vary quite a bit. It's only ever going to be me travelling it so I need it to be smooth. Their main purpose is for hay making and are rarely grazed. I was thinking method as follows; plough, flat roll, power harrow/drill, flat roll twice. However I've been told if I flat roll twice I'm at risk of capping the top making the grass struggle to push through. I wanted to avoid using the wagtail and chain harrows if I could.... Any suggestions much appreciated. Ta! [/QUOTE]
