I guess I don't understand purpose of first trip with cultipacker.
Based on what I've read, it's simply to firm up the seed bed which supposedly yields better germination. By broadcasting directly on loose soil, a percentage of seed will likely get buried too deep and fail to grow. I think the rule of thumb for seed planting depth is approximately 2 times the diameter of the seed. When you look at it that way, it's easy to see that a small seed like clover cannot withstand a 1 inch planting depth. Firming the seed bed first will ensure that less of your seed gets planted too deep, thus increasing your germination rate, in theory.
