Even
the slightest hint of spring around the corner and the weeds are
pushing their way up to the detriment of everything around them.
Rather than spraying, a fast and far more cost-effective method of
wiping them out is to consider the Wessex Rotowiper weed wiper. Ideal
for paddock, pasture and turf care the first thing you notice is that
it uses much less chemical than spraying and, most importantly, it
targets the vulnerable underside of weed leaf, hitting it where it
hurts without killing grass or clover. A unique wiper carpet
specifically designed for weed wiping uses UV-protected interwoven
loops to hold moisture drops. The 45 litre chemical tank coats an
adjustable height roller with weedkiller and the wiper roller rotates
in the opposite direction to travel, coating the underside of weed
leaves thoroughly and efficiently, as well as wiping the stem. A pump
is controlled remotely from the safety and comfort of the seat of an
ATV or UTV, the rotor is spirally welded for maximum strength and two
check valves in the centre of the roller keep it evenly coated with
the chemical. There is a neoprene rubber strip that prevents any
risk of spray drift and aids foaming, so the Rotowiper is the ideal
solution for working near water coarses without the danger of
pollution. Productivity is also increased because the weedwiper can
be used on windy days where sprayers can't. The Wessex Rotowiper is
available in a 2.4m width and the large wheels and wide wheelbase
keep it stable and steady in use. It fits any standard ball hitch, it
can be triple mounted for controlling larger areas and three-point
linkage versions are also available. Just what you need to wipe out
the weeds. Broadwood International
