Read articles →Mike walks through a completed real-world lawn restoration project at a neighbor's property, narrating the exact step-by-step process he used: loader grading, rock-rake debris cleanup, cyclone seeder application in a cross-pattern, reverse-rake seed covering, tractor-tire soil compaction, and straw bale mulching. He also covers fall-versus-spring seeding timing and cool-season mowing height. Best for anyone planning a similar tractor-assisted lawn repair who wants a practical how-to with reasoning behind each step.
Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
Fall is best because the grass gets established in cool weather with no weeds to compete with it, unlike spring planting.
Run it back and forth across the graded area several times to pick up small rocks, roots, and debris before seeding.
Just a little more than dust, about half the width of the seed, applied by backing the rock rake over the area.
Mow at least three and a half inches high, with four and a half being better, which helps the grass form a solid turf.
