Okay, one more guys. How much down pressure can you put on a landscape rake with out wrecking it. My son wants to plant some clover as a replacement ground cover in several places as "wildlife management". If we hit the area with round up and went over it well with a landscape rake, would we get the ground loose enough to broadcast spread the clover seed so it would take well? If you think this would work, I might not need a plow or a tiller. You experienced guys wanna weigh in on this thought? Thanks.

burtalm, I would suggest a disk for breaking up the surface soil for planting a food plot. The landscaping rake is designed to work with already loosened soil. I don't think it would do very well. Multiple passes with a disk and then use a pto spreader to put down the seed mix, lime, and fertilizer. ....
