The best drill or seeder for sowing grass seed

[Dman2]

Far to much cultivation going on here
Tickle the top with a set of ancient Parmiter disks
Then over as fast as you can with the combination
Cambridge roll
Done
Flat roll in spring before 1st cut

I'm looking to buy a seeder to put on my 3 metre Spring tine grass Harrow. Has anyone got any experience with a delimbe t18 spinner with deflector plate, they seem reasonably priced. I have no experience with spinner seeders at all

Make sure pluogh man does good job.
Powerharrow amazone air drill combination with spouts cable tied to back of coulters.
Cambridge roll.
Heavy roll in spring.
Has worked very well for over 15 years, only ever see the rows for first few weeks.

That thing must be mounted quite high to reach the 3m working width. Personally i'd mount only a hosed one on any implement, since wind won't affect the pattern and it will spread the seeds to a desired width.

It's always a bit of adjust and hope with these spreaders. They do a great job when you find the right settings, but wind will always affect the pattern.

Weather and seedbed prep are what matters, you can drill or sow it with anything.

Does you Amazone drill not have the white plastic wedges on the coulter arms that you can swivel around which lift each coulter clear of the ground?
Box drill does. Maybe air drill different.

Vicon is the weapon of choice for me but the einbock type seeders or air drills do a good job but don't sow it too deep.

do you do one pas or go over it twice in different directions at half rate

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Just coming up 4yrs lay

And 2 yr with extra clover

Both sown with 4m amazone combi disc drill through the coulters, top pic even has 1 pipe each side shut off for tramlines, both in need of a good drink [emoji57]

this was drilled with a Horsch Pronto, pleased with the result, as said earlier it's all about the preparation

Do ever drag set harrows behind the spinner ?

No I don't but some folk do.
Sometimes Harrow after but sometimes just ballast roll it after

If re seed after cultivating do roll then power harrow seed in then roll again ?

 

[Dman2]

will it not put the seed to deep?

 

[Kevtherev]

No need to power Harrow seed in as grass and clovers don't need to be in deep[emoji106]

This is my £300 fiona grass seed sower.

Does the same job, only a heliva lot cheaper. Standard 3 mtr. drill with coulters removed and tubes shortened.

To much rows in that with a nice gap between them for weeds and old grass to come back into.
