Sidedressing Question

So for all of you that come back and sidedress your brassicas with urea after they've started growing. How do you go about it? When I put down the initial fertilizer I've been putting it on with a spreader pulled behind a four wheeler and that works really well. But I am wondering how much damage I would see if I would go back over then say a month after planting? Or do you guys go back with a hand spreader?
Thanks guys!
 
I broadcast urea before a rain with my earthway bag spreader, if your brassicas are high like mine are i think you would definitely cause some damage with the atv.
 
I go over the top with a 3 point spreader on my tractor. You run lots of it over, but the benefits far outweigh the damage done. Time it with a rain in the forecast.

If your spreader tires track close to the wheelbase of your 'wheeler I say go for it.
