frost seeding pastures -- vicon pendulum seeder

am getting ready to frost seed heavy clay hillside that is as smooth as babies butt (overgrazed). using 3 pt fertilizer/seeder. what is advantage of vicon pendulum seeder ? no agitator. does pendulum give narrower spread range ? am gonna fabricate agitator so i can add multiple types of seed such as oats, rye, clover, grasses then roll with propane roller filled with water. anybody have similiar ground and what worked successfully ? thanks

Never used a spinner I always use a grain drill Easier to calibrate and easier to see where you are going also puts the seed down in the snow so it won?t blow away

is that your ground is flat as pancake. much easier.

Do you have a manual for that spreader? There are many spout options for it. Long, short, one way, etc. etc. They spread evenly, where a spinner is apt to be heavy one way. I had one, and liked it, but it was too small for what I wanted to do.

John deere ll147 its a press wheel drill the press wheels pack the seed it is a double disc . I have drilled lots of very steep ground I can't see any where a broadcast spreader would be better than a drill unless you didn't have enough tractor to pull it
