I use the LJ-12 for beets myself. The trick is to remove the copper/felt plate behind the roller. Honestly, I do not understand the purpose of that part. It just keep jamming up seeds.

Greetings -
We have also been very happy with our Jang seeder. We have a gang of 8
on a 3 point hitch attached to our tractor. It has worked well for
carrots, salad mix (lettuce) and all the round seeds as others have
mentioned. It has been a vast improvement over the Planet Jr's and
Earthway we used previously. I also use the earthway for peas, but the
beans worked in the jang last year. It does take some time to figure
out the settings, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 plantings to see the results
before you figure out exactly how you want it - so keep very careful
notes while you are planting and note the final results. The rollers and
other parts are expensive (way overpriced in my opinion), but the
savings in proper spacing and using less expensive seed is quickly made
up. I do have a questions for others: has anyone found a good roller
size (or other trick) for beets with the Jang. They get all stuck in
the holes for me. I am currently using the earthway (seed comes up way
too thick) or transplanting in clumps of 3-4 from 128 cells - also a
pain. Thanks for you help.
