Do you know a brand name? I might not be calling them the right thing. I just put words together, do a Google search and click on images until I see something that looks like what I am wanting. Usually/eventually works, but not so good on this adventure.I have seen them for sale online. People use them for oats and rye around here. Disk and plant in one shot.
The ones I saw were regular JD disks with seed boxes added. I'm pretty sure they were chain driven down to some thing on the disk.Do you know a brand name?

By seed box do you mean a Valmar applicator?Has anybody mounted a seed box on a disc or aerator to overseed pasture? I have seen pictures of set ups like this from all over the globe, but nothing in the US.
I like that idea, but I think that it needs to be ground driven in order to keep an even seed rate.I've seen people use a 12 volt electric spreader like you would use on a 4 wheeler. Seen a few of them mounted kind on the middle-front of a pasture renovator or areotor. Just run a wire up to the tractor for power. You could put a switch in too if you wanted good control of it.
Had no idea what a Valmar applicator was. Looked them up, that's too much technology for me! Thinking something like the big seed box on a grain drill. Just made to mount on a areator or disc. Really wanting ground driven to keep a steady rate.By seed box do you mean a Valmar applicator?

That's it! Does it straddle the disc? Do you have a picture of the mounting brackets?12 foot John Deere B mounted on a 12 foot rhino disc
I'm seeing a herd seeder on the three point as well...alot going on there lol...12 foot John Deere B mounted on a 12 foot rhino disc
I built the brackets so it floats on top of the disc. I had to lengthen the axles on the end of the drill so the wheels touch the ground.That's it! Does it straddle the disc? Do you have a picture of the mounting brackets?
and a drag behind it to put a little dirt over the top...I'm seeing a herd seeder on the three point as well...alot going on there lol...
Plant clover and ryegrass in one passI'm seeing a herd seeder on the three point as well...alot going on there lol...
Seems like the herd should be between the disc and the drill.Plant clover and ryegrass in one pass
That is one like I have seen. Very nice.12 foot John Deere B mounted on a 12 foot rhino disc
I think I saw it. Would love to see it againI have used some home made seed pots made from PVC sewerage pipe coned down with reducers to a plate with an appropriate hole in it with a curtain wire tickler through it and touching the ground. I had them bolted out the back behind each tine of my sub soiling plough. I did a lot of this over 10 years ago now and although results were not immediately obvious I am reaping the rewards of it now. Kikuyu which is a running summer grass of which I had zero on the place is now a significant species on my place and getting better every year. Premier Digit is another that has done well, being obvious with its distinctive seed head and I am sure some other temperate species have kicked on as well but they are not as obvious.
I have posted pictures previously but once I put photos into my computer they are lost forever and I am not in a position to take more at the moment.
I think it was worthwhile doing.
