[AT] Grass seeder

[Grant Brians]

Spencer, the Brillion seeder is indeed the seeder of choice to plant Alfalfa
and small seeded grasses and legumes. I used that to establish Alfalfa back
in the 1970's and for Clovers etc. They work very well and are easy to use.
They also make the best stand conditions. Having said that, Herb's low tech
solution might work for you too.

Thanks!  That's a great idea i did not even think of.  I don't know the
tongue length of the drill, but this would work since I have no other other
obstructions near the gate or other mitigating factors.  Only one of my
pastures has a small gate(8') It would be great if this worked because I
could use just one piece of equipment.
