I too purchased a Jang this year and had a similar problem with the peas.  I tried using a G12 for peas with no luck.  I could see that the peas were getting stuck in the holes so I tried to ream out the hole with a drill bit.  It didn’t help at all.  I need a larger diameter hole.  I haven’t tried the bean roller yet.

I bought a Jang Seeder last spring and promptly sold my Earthway – the savings in seed and thinning labour will pay off the higher cost pretty quickly. However, I’d be interested in hearing from others about their experience planting peas and beans with the Jang. I used the C12 and N6 roller for peas, but found that peas would lodge in both these rollers and result in skips – bridging in the hopper was another issue. Beans created the same challenges using the N6 roller, though not as severe as the peas. For the first pea planting this spring, I used an old Planet Junior #4 that I bought this past winter (along with a PJ wheel hoe) from someone who figured they’d only be good as decorations! It dropped a bit more seed than ideal (though probably not bad for a first planting in cold soil), but at least there weren’t the misses and the frustration that the Jang caused last spring. Anybody with similar experiences or advice to offer on the Jang?

 

Thanks,

Rob
