Vaderstad Biodrill 360 metering roller options

[Brisel]

I'm looking for a metering roller for slug pellets. I have the full width grass seed roller which jams and isn't really suitable. I also have a deep fluted rubber one part number 473001 that is better for high seed rates, not 5 kg/ha. I can't find any other options online using the Agroparts portal. Are there other online parts books other than on the Vaderstad website, as below?

Can you not just shift to the low gear and use the rubber roller?

I need something finer than the rubber roller 1 but does more than 4. 3 is the grass seed roller.

I have 2, 3 and 4 here. No.2 is basically three of the plastic rollers from the grass seed roller No. 3.

I am in low gear, using the rubber roller. The rate just isn't stable for more than 5 seconds. It's fine doing 20 kg/ha of cover crop seed, never missing a beat.

What do you use 4 for?

For putting in cover crop mixes where some of the seeds are too large to go through No.2 without being ground up. For the likes of forage rape, kale, and other small seeds, I use No.2.
I have been down to 7KG/ha this year using No.4 with no problems, and that was in high gear. I would be travelling at between 14 to 16 km/h though.

Thanks. Mine is fitted to a 12m set of rolls, so a fair throughput at 10 kph. Yours?

A 525L carrier, so less than half your width!!!

Thanks again. I’ll buy the coarse segment for my narrow osr roller supplied with the machine and try that for slug pellets.
