I'm opening up a 4500 sq. ft. area (with my 2025R and 647 frontier tiller) to plant all kinds of food for the family. Starting with a cover crop (doing no-till) and need a drill so I can plant directly into last season's cover.

I like the Jang seeders based on what I've seen recommended. My question is: should I just get a 1 row hand push seeder or go with a cat 1 pull seeder (jang makes a cat 1 attachment to pull 3 or 6 row seeder versions).

I guess my main question is: will it be too hard to push the seeder through a cover crop? I don't want to hate life while I'm seeding, but the manual is $500 and the cat 1 version is $2200.

Another option is that I could run a cultivator across the cover and then use a Jang push seeder, would this work?

EDIT: found this double disc opener for the Jang, maybe this would work? Hoping someone has some experience with this...

Work up your small plot in the fall with the tiller and plant your cover crop wheat or rye. In the spring run the tiller through and turn the cover crop under and plant with a hand push planter.
On my garden I leave enough space between the rows to run my 4 ft tiller through when the weeds/grass gets too bad.
If you want narrower/less space between rows then get a hand push high wheel cultivator.
