We use a section harrow to cover our seed. Does a very good job. Old pull type section harrows were a farmer's favorite tool when I was growing up. Talk about busting clods and smoothing a field, they worked wonders. I haven't seen one in decades.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

After using my rototiller to till the plot & after seed & fertilizer, I take the pto out of gear & "walk" the tiller across the plot. It acts like a mini sheep's foot. It's packs & covers great.

I think I can build one about 6-8 ft wide using OTR truck tires for under $200.
I did test strips on the fields i planted the other day. The sides that were packed by the tractor had much more coming up in those areas than did the sides that were just lightly disked in. Gave them probably a good weeks head start if not more over the non packed side.

A quick Google search offers lots of choices.

For smaller plots I took three landscape 4x4's, changed them about 8" apart and bolted angle metal across them to keep them from rolling. Then took another piece of chain and made a hookup for the ATV. Works pretty dang good, light enough to haul.

Smooth the plot with a harrow drag after disking then spread the seed. Drag one more time and it will cover the seed nicely. What kind of drag harrow are you using? Is it a homemade or one of the heavy chained drag harrows? Pics would be nice if you have any. these things work awesome you can break the soil with the spikes then flip it over to cover and smooth the one ive used weighed about 100 pounds
