The GrassWorks Weed Wiper, LLC, Weed Management System will
work and be totally different from anything else due to the rotating
drum. As it is driven it turns in the opposite direction that the
weed wiper is traveling, so that you get a wiping action on the
plants that the herbicide is being applied to. This rotating action
does several things for us.
 |
First, it allows us to run the carpet material very
saturated and therefore have a lot of chemical available to
apply to the targeted weeds. Because it is rotating, it will
not drip. |
 |
Second, it is applying the chemical to the bottom or
underside of the leaves, where the plants are going to be
easier to kill because of greater porosity. |
 |
Third, with the adjustable height we are only putting the
chemicals on the targeted weeds and not wasting chemicals on
grasses and clovers that we want to keep. |
Normal operating speeds are 10-15 MPH. With these speeds we are
getting better than 8.5 acres per hour with our 10’ pull type units.
Our tractor mount unit operating speed will average 4-10 MPH .
(Depending on lay of the land)
The chemical of choice is Round-Up at 20 parts water and 1 part
Round-Up. This mixture will have a chemical cost approximately $.50
per acre or less. This inexpensive, yet very effective application
helps to pay back the cost of the GrassWorks Weed Wiper™ in chemical
savings.
Unit size is available to meet your operation. 3’ to 6’ units fits
the need for burn down applications in nursery, landscape, vineyard,
orchard, strawberry & tree farm. Deflectors are available for
vineyard & berry operations to protect the plants from being wiped.
Our 6’,10’, 12’ & 15’ units are most popular for hay & pasture
farmers. The GrassWorks Weed Wiper™ will kill out any weeds it comes
in contact with including Johnson grass, thistles, ragweed, smut
grass, pigweeds, etc at a minimum cost and time. Our theory for this
application is “If the cows don’t eat it, we don’t need it”.
Row crop and large truck farm operations have the option of
hydraulic driven units ranging from 10’-30’. These operations have
discovered the GrassWorks Weed Wiper™ is a very economical weed
control system. With the capability of adjusting the height of the
roller, this allows application during different stages of crop
growth. Foam markers are available for all units. |
