A basket roller (unverferth or J&m)with angled tines works well in this situation,bet someone around you has one you could try. Put some stops in the hydralic cylinders to raise the teeth just off the ground. If the teeth start plugging with residue,just lift them all the way off the ground. The baskets will do most the work anyway. Let the soil brown a little& hit it on a slight angle at 7-8 mph. The tines will knock down the big clods and the baskets will crumble.This will Leave some loose dirt around your seed that will hold moisture and not crust and split if we get a couple of hard showers. Also helps keep the slugs&bugs off the seed. I pull mine with my floater buggy some times. A Sprocket roller will also do the job,we just rolled a bunch of spring peas planted in wheat stubble with one because we are using the basket roller behind the cultivator. it is just wheat, but your stand will be a lot more even and if your have to look at it every day you'll be glad you did it.
