Front and rear wheels move independant; they just are wheels with a shaft that is maybe 1/16th smaller diameter.
The front wheel packs the soil and forms a groove where the seed is dropped. The rear wheels need to be adjusted so they "split" the front grooves and push just a little soil on top of the seed.
For grass and alfalfa this is the ticket if you have a fine seedbed. People drive by my alfalfa or lawn and remark how beautiful it is.
I don't know much about the other seeder but think it is more used for grasses and grains. Have seen some with a meter and drop arrangement like the Brillion so it must work.
