i'll continue-messed up the last "send"
disc twice
level
drill ( i use a 15 foot tye drill with seeder attachment-generally trying to apply 2 bushels oats and 4 lbs. brome grass through the disc openers AND at the same time applying 10 lbs. alfalfa, 3 lbs. timothy, and 3 lbs orchard grass through the seeder )
level again (harrow or harrowgator-but cultimulcher would be fine as long as it didn't tend to collect trash--and be careful with whatever leveling means you use not to bury alfalfa more than just barely covering it )
to answer your question about running alfalfa through the disc openers-i doubt if that could be done ( you would first of all have the alfalfa too deep and second of all might have a problem with a uniform stand ). if you plan on doing this much, a drill with a seeder might be a good investment.
