Short disc ..... any good

Could a short disc with levelling boards be used to replace a power Harrow working on ploughed land with the drill on as well as for working stubbles?
I’m considering one for drilling forage covers after whole crop wheat and started wondering if it would allow me to get rid of the power Harrow too..

I run mine over all ploughed land before drilling.i do use a combination as that’s all I have but land woukd drill perfectly ok with just a drill.i get more than double the output from my combination as the ground is preformed.power Harrow tines last 3times longer too.

Thanks, does yours have any tines on too? Or just the discs and packer?
 
If you are trying to work wet ground the power Harrow may beat a disc cultivator. If it’s not too wet and vaguely friable then it’s all good.

The roller on the back makes a huge difference imo.
