Mechanical weed eradication allows users to avoid potential environmental issues surrounding traditional chemical application processes. Spring tines vibrate their way through the upper layer of soil, removing all weeds. Hard surface crust is also disturbed, which assists with surface drainage.
The Weeder consists of a rugged frame with four rows of staggered tines, allowing trash through while providing a close working space of an inch and a half. With the unique tine/holder design, individual tines can be adjusted to fit the contours of the ground or the crop. This allows the remaining tines to work aggressively between the rows of crops, making the Weeder extremely flexible for a variety of row crop applications, regardless of row spacing.
