Anybody has experience with these types of seed drills. Has a roller with metal spikes. 90% of my plotting is oats with clover. Ocassionally use rrye, turnips, or daikon raddish.
I plant in sandy loam mostly, but have a clay spot I do too. The loamy spots are either relatively rock free, but one area has some large rocks sticking out an inch or two. Rocky area I usually seed every 3 years, so I could drop seed and spring harrow that area. Area does have some residual vegetation and annual tree leaf debris, common weeds are sedge grass and golden rod.
Not looking for perfect rows, and rye n oats are relatively forgiving in seed depth. As long as the clover stay up top and the grains stay 1/2 to 1 inch in. Moisture is usually not a problem in this area.
The area is seeded annually. Not sure if i can use this alone in the area. A dressing pass or two with a spring harrow or set of discs can be done too.
I am mainly focused on the type that has the aggressive roller then the more mild cultivator on the 2nd roller.
Trying to build this myself. I already have john deere B series seed boxes. One small and one large seed.
