RE: Spreading wheat
poc,
Just dragging a chain will help a lot. Rig some sort of spreader to keep the chain extended and drive away. A chain will help break the clods and cover the seed without pushing too much soil as a non-rolling log will.
However, if you intend to do much planting, I would invest in a cultipacker. Firming seed beds are what they are designed for. They are often quite cheap at farm sales.
