Rotary Harrow for seeding

[FarmForProfit]

Its looking pretty grim so far. I
remember reading a few years ago about a
guy renting a rotary harrow set up with
a valmar for seeding triticale. It
might be to aggressive (deep) for canola
but would it work for cereals? Unseeded
coverage is $25/ac for unworked land and
if I can get seed on it the coverage is
250-300 depending on crop. Plus the
crop will grow some moisture out.
Hopefully the sun comes out and the wind
blows until the middle of June and I can
drill everything but I'm looking for
plan B.

You can adjsut the angle of cut on the phoenix from real aggressive to almost rolling along. No reason if the ground is real wet, probably why you are contemplating this method, why it wouldn't work for any crop. I have a valmar on heavy harrows, same thing with setting, really angled flat and they disturb very little ground. Would work well IMHO.

I put an air kit on a phillips rotary harrow and
have a tow between air cart to apply the seed
and dry fert. Works well with canola and have
seeded wheat, oats and barley with it as well.

if you don't mind me asking what type of hoses and set up did you use for distribution and was it set up like valmare with a deflector to spread etc. Thinking that may be the only way to do it with a heavy harrow system.
