TY for the link. Will keep it in mind for next year. This year's pasture improvement budget is spent. and about 1/3 was put down last night, after 2" of rain.

Dichondra Repens (for the edges of the driveway, erosion control - its part to heavy shade, little else will do well there - I'm trying to infiltrate mint and oregano as well - basically, any spreading carpet/mat with dense roots) (5#)

Teff grass (5#)

Sorghum/Sudangrass Hybrid (SUDEX) (5#)

Chufa (10#)

Sorry I couldn't single source those resources

Overseeding, except the chufa, I'm going to try and plant that in widely spaced rows I'm going to try and make with a car and completely the wrong tools as a plow.

We do what we have to, to make it work. You're doing fine.

Yes use what you have. When we leveled areas of our property for the house, we used a 4wheeler, a heavy chain and an old bed spring. It was fun!

My tractor.

Kind of like the bed spring we pulled for leveling.
Be careful of your turn around spots. That would be tough on your 'tractor' tires!

A neighbor used to try to smooth our road with a set up like that, using a bedspring. I will bet you get better results than he did on the washed out holes in gravel/chucks of concrete.

A number of others have pipped - fingers crossed.

How'd the grading go with your "tractor"?

Work in progress, but it's definitely better, and I put about 20 lb of seed down which will hopefully keep it from getting worse if it actually sprouts. Was supposed to rain all week, now chances are less than 5%. I do not have a quarter mile long hose to keep it damp..
