I prefer the atv method of packing because the tractor can press the seed in to deep. If I have tilled the area, I do a pass with the coutipacker before seeding and again afterwards. On one field I seeded with oats before the first cultipacking then sspread the clover and pulled over it agqain. Neighbor uses his drag harrow and then seedsand lets a rain cover the seed with the slightly loosened dirt.
I used the Moultrie electric ATV seed spreader this year and I'm also impressed with the results.
On a plot of radish-turnip I set the seed flow at 50% and sowed it 2 times.My oats plot I did the same 50% and sowed it 2 times. It took about 2-3 minutes to sow 1 ac and not walking on the sore knees and hips.
I would buy the Moultrie ATV spreader again. At about $125 retail it's a great bargain but I bought mine at wholesale cost of $86 and my son even paid for that so was a great deal. LOL
