Was wondering what the differences were in function of these. I'm trying to broadcast plant rye, oats and peas. Have a plow, disk, and am looking at a spike tooth harrow. after that would I need rollers or cultipackers? Not familiar with what real farmers use, I've just always made do and am now trying to get equipment together. Thanks, Matt.

The spike tooth harrow is all you will _need_.

The roller would push rocks into the ground, if you planed on baling hay, harvesting real close. I live in very rocky area, and only reciently have seen any rollers.

The packer is better suited to firming up the seedbed, as it flexes & flows a tiny bit - while also pushing rocks down.

But, you don't need either one. The crops you list will do fine with a 1/2 or so set spike tooth harrow.

you will want a cultipacker. a cultipacker will evenly compact the seed to the soil, across the whole width of the cultipacker. with a roller, you would only touch the high spots and bounce over the stones.
