Bettinson cassette gearboxes

[Btass88]

Hi everyone,

I've got a bettinson DD drill that I'm seeking some spares for, in particular I'm after the gearbox cassettes .
I'm aware that bettinson-hestair-melroe have been finished up for a long time. Parts are becoming hard to source here in Australia, there are still a few guys using these seeders in area. Any information or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I scrapped our drill a long time ago, but I may have kept the cassettes, I'll have a look.

Thankyou.

Replace the seed bin with a air seeder

The problem we all had in the uk was new seed dressings that the rubber feed rollers weren't tolerant to and they 'melted'. They were a popular drill at one stage.

There’s a guy in Australia that has a mold for the seed and fertiliser rollers, they are different material and different design to the original foam rollers but we have had them installed for a number of years and are holding up really well.

I’ve got a full set of cassettes and about 2 sets of rollers in reasonable condition and quite a few other spares

Hello @Btass88 - are you able to provide details of the person who makes the rollers please? I've been offered an old Bettinson and am interested but need to be sure I can get parts before I bother with it. Many thanks,
NP.
