One brand of planter is a Brillion seeder that drops the seed and a set of packer wheels push it into contact with the soil. A drill can be utilized but care should be taken not to plant the seed to deep. See similar questions...

Ryegrass should be seeded at 20 to 25 lb/ac in October. The seeds are very small and ryegrass is an aggressive plant so broadcast application of the seeds works well.
