Did this last year in a few fields and it worked out great. Spray then bush hog them seed and fertilize with the buggy and then till in wheat, forage oats and cereal rye. Come back and top dress with clover. Anybody else do this? Good idea? Bad idea?

I'd be worried I'd be tilling my seed in 4-8" deep which is way too deep and will cost you a ton in germination. Seeds only have enough energy to grow a certain distance and if they dont hit sunlight, they just die and decompose. General rule of thumb is the bigger the seed, the more energy it has and the deeper you can plant it. Clover/rape/brassicas/turnips etc are tiny and should always be top-sowed into a firm seed bed because you want it planted as shallow as possible. Wheat/Oats/Cereal Rye and bigger seed, 1-1.5" planting depth.

I personally think tillers only belong in an old lady's garden. They're slow and destroy soil structure. Spray/Spread/disk LIGHTLY is my go-to. YMMV...

Im with Abolt300. If anything disc with no angle in disc

It should work. I will try it on a few this year and let you know how it works. Wouldn’t do it with any small seeds. The rest of you need to quit knocking tillers.

Nah, had one. Sold it. Don't miss it...

I have one, i might use it before seed but not after. I love a tiller for some applications. Ill likely be using one tomorrow

This is what I do

I’ve done it every way known to man and this is the quickest and easiest way I’ve found. One pass with a tiller and you’re done. I do come back and seed with clover.

I use a tiller and I cover seed with it. The key is to run it over the ground much faster than when ordinarily tilling so it doesn’t dig down too deep. Works great for me

Set the tiller depth shallow and run faster than normal. If soil is super dry this works well. It may get an inch or two of cover dirt but that gets real thin when the rain comes in

This is how I did it last year. ^^.
