No. We feel that seeding directly behind a tillage tool before harrowing is an incorrect practice for most applications. The ground needs to be leveled with a harrow before seeding should ever take place. With smaller seed such as clover if the ground is leveled after seeding then a large percentage of the seed will be buried to deeply. Using a seeder on the back of a tillage tool skips far too many very important steps. The best order for planting is to first create a seedbed with a tillage tool, harrow the ground to make a level seedbed, cultipack to firm the seedbed, seed and then cultipack to place the seed in the ground and provide seed-to-soil contact.
