I've been trying to piece together an adequite ensemble to put in 20 acres of year-round food plots on the deer lease without spending tons of time... Found a three point spike tooth harrow at an upcoming auction looks to be an eight or ten footer. Was wondering about the pros and cons of this as a seed covering device as opposed to a drag type that would seem to cover the rougher terrain better, or just lightly disking, which is what I do now. I've never used a spike tooth harrow, but it seems like it would be an easy way to cover broadcasted seed. Wondered what the real farmers thought.

Suggest you may purchase or may rent or borrow a cultipacker.That should cover seeds fine.

Matt,

If you are working in ground that has been plowed and disked, the harrow would make a good leveling / covering tool. However, the spike-toothed harrows that I've had are no good for ripping sod or soil. Your seeds need to have some way to penetrate the surface before you drag or they'll still be lying on the surface after you drag.

Good luck,

A spike tooth drag or coil tine drag will have teeth closer together to get more complete coverage of the ground. Typically used them behind grain drills, even if the drill had covering chains.
