Weeders

ATV & UTV Weeders (Weed Wipers & Sprayers)

When it comes to managing invasive species like rushes, bracken, or nettles on UK farmland and estates, ATV-mounted or tow-behind weeders are the gold standard. Unlike traditional boom spraying, which can be wasteful and harm clover or grass, modern weed wipers allow for "targeted application"—applying herbicide only to the taller weeds that come into contact with the machine.

Core Weeding Categories:

• Rotary Weed Wipers (Tow-Behind): These units use a carpet-covered roller that rotates in the opposite direction of travel. This ensures the weed is hit on the underside of the leaf (where it is most absorbent) with a concentrated dose of chemical, significantly reducing herbicide usage.

• Static Weed Wipers: A simpler, gravity-fed system where a saturated chemical pad or "wick" wipes across the weeds as you drive. These are ideal for smaller paddocks and areas where simplicity and low maintenance are a priority.

Key Performance Features:

• Height Adjustable Frames: Essential for targeting specific weeds. You can set the wiper to sit just above the grass or clover, ensuring you only kill the taller, invasive weeds like rushes and thistles.

• All-Terrain Tyres: Designed with high-floatation tyres to ensure the weeder doesn't leave deep ruts in soft or boggy ground—critical for early spring or late autumn maintenance.

• Robust British Engineering: Many of these units are manufactured in the UK specifically to handle heavy rush infestations and the vibration of being towed over rough, unlevel pasture.
