"Best Weed Wiper Ever Made"

"Best Weed Wiper Ever Made" ROPE WICK APPLICATORS Rope Wick Applicators 25-2-29 "Anyone who's ever used a conventional weed wiper won't believe how well our Power Roll wiper works," says Craig Pope of Agriweld, Inc., about his powered weed wiper which has several all-new features. The Power Roll's hydraulic-powered rotating rollers aggressively apply chemical to tall-growing weeds. A 4-hp. Honda motor above the carpeted rollers powers a hydraulic pump that provides hydraulic power. Besides the powered rollers, what makes the new weed wiper unique is a first-of-its-kind chemical application system that mixes marker foam concentrate with the Roundup. The mixture is sprayed onto the carpeted rollers with TeeJet nozzles and a bar rubbing against the carpet causes the chemical to foam up, making it easily visible against the red carpet on the rollers. That makes it easy to avoid applying too much chemical to the rollers. "Because the operator has better control of chemical on the wipers, he can do a better job killing weeds with less chemical and also virtually eliminates wasted chemical and crop damage due to chemical drip," notes Pope, adding that the foamed chemicals also adhere better to the plants, providing better kill. The applicator has a 3 gpm Shur Flo pump and a 25-gal. poly tank. It's fitted with big 36-in. dia. transport wheels which raises it above fully grown crops. Available in widths from 6 to 30 ft. A 30-ft. unit sells for $6,435. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Agriweld, Inc., 13000 S. Pacific Hwy.
