Benefits of CONTINU-RATE^® Meter Rollers

The CONTINU-RATE^® Meter Rollers offer significant advantages in seed placement and overall performance

1. Steady and Continual Product Flow: The spiraled design of the rollers ensures a consistent and uninterrupted flow of product, eliminating pulsation and reducing disruptions during seeding.
2. Even Seed Spacing: Each of the six-meter rollers has flutes with individually designed angles and depths, facilitating precise and even seed spacing. This feature reduces product waste and minimizes seed breakage.
3. Compatibility with John Deere Models: The CONTINU-RATE^® Meter Rollers are compatible with John Deere 1900, 1910, C650, and C850 models, ensuring a seamless integration into your existing equipment.
