You can do it and get most if not all the seed under cover. Being a larger seed, its more forgiving on that end of it. I have plowed, then made one pass with the disc harrow, then broadcast feed oats by hand with a walk behind spreader and then made one more pass with the disc, it all came up. Just not for grain, forage for deer plots. Farmer who used to plant here, did not have a drill one year and hired it out, they broadcast the oats, he made one pass with the cultipacker, and though there was a lot of certified seed on the surface, much of it sunk a root in anyway, at first I thought it was a disaster, but that field did come out nice, so you can definitely broadcast them. Drilled in would be better for a grain crop I suppose, but if you can control the seed application so you don't over populate and get decent soil coverage with the tillage, it should work out, at least I have done it here and seen it work. I'd test an area and see how it is, what I did with the disc came out good, much of it looked drilled in as the seed stayed in the small furrows made by the disc.
