Brain is stuck on this topic lately. Just got to make one....
Thinking maybe something basic.
I have a drop spreader, spring harrows, 2 small discs, 2 john deere small seed boxes.
Thinking of drop spreading oats n fertilizer infront of the spring harrows, then Using some wood to level the harrow, drop clover seed behind the leveled soil, then a short run of chain harrow to mix it in a bit.
This is dragged behind on an ATV for about a mile long stretch of trail. about 6-12 feet on each side of the trail. Trail is mowed twice a year and sprayed a week before seeding. Some residual, nothing too crazy in thatch. Plotting area will be rolled in by my crew of misfits on their ATV's after I seed.
Also debating making spike rollers like some of the Woods or Brillion Seeders use. Looking to make this 3ft maybe 3.5ft wide.
Not looking for perfection or maximum forage. Looking to streamline my chores at camp here. Looking to get away from perennial clover and just fall planting annual clover n small grains.
Current method is to mow n spray, then spring harrow a seedbed. Broadcast fertilizer, grains, and 1/2 the clover. Then turn the harrow down light. Then hand broadcast the remaining clover. Then roll ATV tires on it. Sometime drag 3 pickup truck tires bolted together while I roll.
