Weed Wiper

A weed wiper is designed to target and eradicate reeds, rushes, docks and other unwanted weeds, in grassland, paddocks, farmland and other open habitats. The weed wiper is widely used in agriculture to control volunteer crops such as weed beet.
​
Weed wipers will work regardless of wind speeds and because there is no spray drift, there is no risk of damage to other plants or underlying grass. The use of less chemicals makes the weed wiper an economical and effective weed killer.

To prevent ragwort weed infestation in pastures, you can treat the affected areas with our ATV weed wiper with efficacy (these weeds must be removed or allowed to completely degenerate before re-grazing or conserving). For the best results when using our weed wiper, the unwanted weeds need to be at the growing stage, perennial broad-leaved weeds should be near flowering stage and perennial grass weeds should have at least 10 cm of new leaf growth.

The Chapman ATV weed wiper is environmentally friendly due to its unique non-drip feature and the perfect solution for weed control as an alternative to using sprayers where drifting could affect wildlife habitats and species-rich protected areas. This lightweight machine is designed to be towed behind an ATV farm quad, utility vehicle or similar, if equipped with a ball hitch. 

Weed wiper controls

​​The weed wiper should be used when weeds are at the height of their growing cycle, for maximum efficiency. The height and offset adjustment of the machine ensures full coverage and weed control on all areas being treated.
A simple rotary adjustment on the electronic control module of the weed wiper, powered from the ATV, ensures the right application rate of herbicides to treat most weeds.
​The ATV weed wiper roller is fully operator adjustable and controlled by a unique IP67 sealed control box, with the pump being automatically pulsed on and off, maintaining correct and constant saturation.
​
The electric drive motor operates at 25 rpm, with a roller made of strong tubular steel and a high quality, wear resistant carpet attached to it. The weight of the liquid is perfectly balanced, allowing for an even and trouble-free application of herbicide to the weeds whilst preventing it from being flicked onto surrounding grass.
​A Chapman weed wiper has narrow semi-flotation tyres with low ground pressure, minimising the chance of herbicides being transferred to the actual wheels and damaging the underlying grass. This weed wiper is fitted with a hand lance as standard for spot spraying weeds on hard to get at areas.
