Best leveling implement

[ZDB]

After we moldboard plow we use a 14' disc to break up the clods then go over it with the pto tiller to finish the seedbed.
Seed is broad cast spread and lightly disced. This isn't ideal but it works.

i'm looking at a Perfecta II cultivator, a drill, and a cultipacker to improve this process and eliminate the need for the pto tiller for seedbed prep.

Finance manager is being tight with money so equipment comes slowly.

This looks interesting. It's made by grademaster.

That looks like a land lever with 1 blade pulling a drag harrow...

Sure does and I think it would be a poor mix of tools. Much better to keep these separate. I wouldn't want the harrow back there when grading a driveway. Wouldn't want the grader blade there when covering seed with the harrow either.

What about a digger? I can pick this one up for cheap. Plow then use the digger?

I built a landplane/grader 8' and a TPH spike tooth harrow 8' total cost for both was about $1100. I usually will till the ground then use these to get a smooth lawn surface/seed bed. I have found the landplane does a more precise job of smoothing out any waves, mounds and depressions in the lawns with less passes.
