Speidel Weed Wiper
The Speidel Weed Wiper is a wiping-type applicator intended to control weeds growing above any crop with a non-selective herbicide solution. Bracket-mounted in front or behind a small tractor, ATV, or other utility vehicle, the device consists of a perforated plastic pipe reservoir covered with absorbent canvas, which acts as the wick or wiping surface. The solution is gravity-fed through the holes in the pipe to soak the canvas. Herbicide flow can be adjusted for different weed density, varying travel speeds, or shut off completely via a control valve, which regulates the amount of air entering the pipe. The Speidel Weed Wiper is available in lengths up to 13.5 feet; however, the mounting-bracket assembly with hand-cranked lift is sold separately.
