[QUOTE="txdc, post: 1810536, member: 43242"] We suspect that depth may be an issue as well. I leveled with boxblade/bucket, rototilled, then leveled with boxblade again, There were some rains that tamped the soil some. I believe I used the 8x8 drag everywhere before spreading the seed. I used the spreader to spread the seed. We used way more seed than was needed, to be safe.. it was coated hulled common bermuda from the local feed store. Then, I used an 8x8 drag harrow to cover the seed to be safe - this is where it may have been covered too deep as the 8x8 drag from TRS is pretty heavy. That said, I can see the seed still in some areas and it never came up so really not sure. In front of the barn, we spread the seed directly on the ground because there really wasnt enough room to use a tractor and drag in that area. That area grew well in the areas that were leveled properly but we used tripods sprinklers to make sure they got enough water to germinate. [/QUOTE]
