    Anybody out there on the ether able to give me a definitive setting for sowing grass seed from a vicon 802 wagtail spreader. Have twenty acres to do and the seed barrow will be way too slow.
    Are you better to mix the fertilizer with the seed or go over it again and top dress it with the 10:10:20. Need to give it 2.5 bags to the acre of this.

    Thanks again

    Try it at 9 with 1 bag of seed only, depends on how fast you drive, how worn the bottom plate is, how far apart you drive. Spread the seed seperate from the fert. Old thread on here somewhere

    Mark out an acre. Fill enough seed for an acre. Drive around and see if you are over or under in terms of ground cover. Adjust accordingly and go from there.

    I did it last year, and wound up do too little spreading in a acre and got it right for the rest.

    Of course if you put out too little you can continue to drive around to spread,,.. if you put out too much you can't put it back it.. unless you have tweesers and loads of time!

    you would never set them rite with a spreader.hire in a drill its a lot quicker.and theres never patches that fail with the drill.its also easier for the person with the fertiliser after because there's no tractor prints in the ground
