A good double disk drill opener will work the ground enough that grass seed will grow if you get timely rains. You need it done ASAP. Your a little late but maybe the alfalfa will not smother the grass in the thin spots. Alfalfa does have a natural grow inhibitor that holds back other alfalfa and some grass. So some times you do not get the other forages to grow well in an older alfalfa stand.

If you get a good growing season after that it can make the stand thicker. This only works if the stand is uniformly thin. If your stand has large bare spots from winter kill then this does not work as well.
I was just talking to a friend the other day about trying one of the new straight blade zone tillage tools on an alfalfa stand. I do not personally know anyone that has one close to me.
