I'm not making fun or being rude, I just don't have any knowledge of the cover crop process for no till.
I hand broadcast small seeds like cereal rye and smaller, and drill larger seeds like peas.

I also don't pull them. I mow them. Depending on what I am doing with the area next year I might just mow with a mulching mower, or I might use a bagging mower and use the clippings for compost or mulch.
