WeedCombTM

Testimonials“We bought the Quad-X Weed Wiper to use in heavy rushes on hill land where boom spraying wasn’t allowed as part of an agri-environmental scheme. Previously we had been cutting the rushes which was hard on diesel and machinery and gave poor results. The wiper has given fantastic results with 100% kill after just one treatment. The wiper is quicker and cheaper to run and compared to spraying saves a lot of chemical. Stormy weather is no problem for the wiper and there is less disruption to grazing. Our land is an imprtant area for breeding wader bird habitats and the Quad-X wiper helps us manage rushes without any damaging offspray.”

BonnarFarms,CoAntrim.RSPBWildlifeFriendlyFarmeroftheYear

“Since getting my QUAD Wipeout, I have been extremely pleased with the results. Previous to getting one, I used to spray which took on average 2 weeks, now it takes only a day meaning I am able to keep a good rotation going which is something that has saved me a great amount of time. My close neighbours aren’t complaining either as the machine ensures no chemical is drifting, therefore they can keep their flowers blooming, and I can keep wiping! Overall it is a strong, well built machine, easy to use, and I am really happy with my Wipeout”

“Running a flock of pedigree Texels, I was excited to hear about a machine that could treat the weeds and also protect the clover. I had always used a tractor sprayer, but each year it would kill off the valuable clover that had established. I have rushes and docks to treat as well as some nettles and thistles. The Blaney Wipeout 2 has given great weed kill results on all of these. This year has been particularly wet and windy and the fantastic thing about the Wipeout 2 is that I can treat the weeds even on windy days when I couldn’t have used a sprayer and boom. And if there is a shower of rain, since the chemical is applied to the underside of the weeds, there is less chance of run off”
