Sowing orchard grass

I know this is off topic but need some advice. Next spring going to sow a 16 acre field in pure orchard grass. So I cut last cutting of hay (played out alfalfa) 2 months ago then 3 weeks later sprayed with roundup. Took soil samples and after everything was brown, field was chisel plowed. Next spring going to disc once then apply fertilizer. Then disc again and get it smooth as possible. My question is, what would be the best way to sow it? We have a 3 pt. spinner spreader and a 10' Brillion sure stand seeder with  2 seed boxes.   Would 1 of these work or would something else be better? Thanks for any advice!!! 

Is the brillion seeder a cultipacker style?I'm guessing it is.If so that would be my choice.That's what dad and grandpa used to seed sod fields.It's also what I've used to replant my hay.Does a good job and gets it on at the right rate.

Brillion seeder provide accurate seeding rates and adequsoil compaction for seed contact. By me ,we have peerless seed company. Lots of modern varieties

I vote for the brillion, seed and pack in one pass.  And you can pull a 10' brillion with a small tractor, as long as the hills aint too steep...

I help a good friend on his farm, he makes 20- 25k square bales of orchard grass a year. He does it both ways with great success. He also no tills. Several factors come into play when deciding which way to seed. Actually use the no-till and a Massey drill on ground that was sprayed, disced, and packed. Makes a nice seed bed. Once its seeded, the Brillion is ran over it again to ensure coverage. Sounds repetitive, but with todays fast moving hay processing, the ground is nice and smooth making it easier on equipment especially the Krone fast moving rakes and the Bale Baron.
Using a spreader works well also once the ground has been prepped, mixing fertilizer with the seed. Run the Brillion over it and its done. This is done when we are pressed for time, rain forecasted, or hay is ready in other fields.

AC720 you are right about having fields smooth, if we make 3 to 5 crops a year with the rotary discbine rotary rack and big square baler most of those operations now take place in the 5 to 10mph range. It's nice to not be bouncing all day.

If you decide to use the spinner spreader, you need to seed on a calm day. Back when Dad used to sow hay, we would mix alfalfa seed with some orchard grass, and if the wind was blowing the orchard grass came up in strips.
