Commodity metering system for work vehicle with rollers in staggered arrangement

A work vehicle comprising:

• a commodity container;
• an actuator system with a first actuator, a second actuator, and a third actuator;
• a delivery system with at least one tube;
• and
• a metering system with at least one metering unit that includes a housing, a passage defined through the housing and configured to receive a commodity from the commodity container, and a first metering roller, a second metering roller, and a third metering roller at least partly disposed within the passage of the housing, the first metering roller configured to be driven in rotation by the first actuator for metering the commodity through the passage to the delivery system, the second metering roller configured to be driven in rotation by the second actuator for metering the commodity through the passage to the delivery system, and the third metering roller configured to be driven in rotation by the third actuator for metering the commodity through the passage to the delivery system;
• wherein the first actuator and the first metering roller are aligned along a first axis of rotation, the second actuator and the second metering roller are aligned along a second axis of rotation, and the third actuator and the third metering roller are aligned along a third axis of rotation, the first axis of rotation, the second axis of rotation and third axis of rotation being spaced apart in parallel along a lateral axis, and the second axis of rotation being offset from the first axis of rotation and the third axis of rotation in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction.

A work vehicle comprising:

• a commodity container;
• a metering system with a plurality of metering rollers arranged in a first row and a second row, the first row being spaced apart at a vertical distance from the second row, the first row being offset horizontally with respect to the second row;
• an actuator system with a plurality of actuators configured to individually actuate respective ones of the plurality of metering rollers;
• and
• a delivery system with a plurality of tubes, each configured to receive a commodity metered from the commodity container by respective ones of the plurality of metering rollers, the plurality of tubes arranged in a third row and a fourth row, the third row being spaced apart at a vertical distance from the fourth row, the third row being offset horizontally with respect to the fourth row, the plurality of tubes being substantially parallel to the plurality of metering rollers;
• wherein the plurality of metering rollers have axes of rotation arranged spaced apart along a lateral axis substantially parallel to each other and staggered in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction.
