Cultipacker IF you can find a good heavy duty one. I’ve got an OLD 10’ or so John Deere but you have to pull it everywhere. No transport wheels but I’m working on that.
Drag is great and can be made from 10’ of chain link fence, a big timber and some chain BUT……can’t have wads of dead grass still out in the plot. It will ball up and then you’re dragging all your seed to the end. You’ve also got to make WIDE sweeping turns so your pulling chain doesn’t wrap around your ATV or tractor wheel,
I had a spike tooth drag that hooked up to the tractor three point hitch. That worked well as when you encountered a wad of grass you could sometimes pick up and let it out from underneath. Wasn’t always that easy though. One of the ones I had you had to let the top link almost all the way out for it to lay flat and really drag well. Trouble was when you went to pick it up to move, the back end was still on the ground. You’d have to shorten the top link back up to get it off the ground.
I can tell you the wrong way to do damn near anything I’ve ever done. Because that’s the way I did it. Almost all my lessons are/were bought lessons. I’m a well trained dumbass.

I've had very good luck , for many years, using a 7', 3pt disc with minimum angle setting. I run it fast and it just flips the dirt around. I don't own a drag or cultipacker.

I’m building a 5 bar 3pt drag harrow with some spike harrows off a set of old field cultivators I had. It’s gonna be 6.5ft wide. Should work great for covering seed. This is the drag section and working on frame to hold it. Been using a section harrow for years. Works great.
