As above anyone use a Nodet for grass seed and have any settings.

Thanks.

Got a book full - everything from Avadex granules to lumpy fert.

Nowhere near the yard at the moment, will look it out tonight if you're not in a hurry.

That would be great if you could.
Thanks.

Don't know if you can read these...

....if you can't, for ryegrass mixes try

3.4.5.5.10.9.at 6mph is 26lbs/ac (12kg)

For 15kg try 3.4.5.6.12.9. again at 6mph.

All the other settings will be 6mph.
Note... Avadex, rape, stubble turnips, kale, etc you want the micro granular rollers in.




........oh, and if you spot some really high grass seed rates, they're not cock ups, we used to do a lot of amenity/ turf work - you wouldn't believe how much those boys chuck on

That is great, thank you for taking the time to look it up. Do I want the bigger rollers for grass seed then?

Thanks.

We always use the bigger ones

That’s what I’ll try then thanks.
There are plastic flaps that cover the rollers do you run them up or down?
I think that’s the last question for now honest.

Doesn't really matter if it's not windy or raining.

I tend to have them up.

Very good machines - spread virtually everything very evenly.
Back in the day nearly every farm in this part of the world had one. P&B must have sold hundreds of them.
