We plough and reseed about 3-4 hectares of ground a year. We currently use a contractor to sow the grass seed, he uses an ancient spring tine air seeder contraption. We are not particularly happy with the results, establishment is patchy, and the row spacing is too large, leaving lots of bare ground.
We would like to pick up something ourselves to do the work, but don't know what would be best. Budget maximum is £3000. An old Fiona drill? More up to date spring tine seeder, might also give us the option to overseed? We have a wag tail Vicon, but have never used it for grass seed, maybe an option? What does the forum say?
