What is a weedwiper?
The concept of weedwiping was developed in New Zealand in the 1970′s, and is all about a controlled method of targeting weeds. Representing significant cost efficiencies over spraying, weedwiping works by coating a weedkiller chemical onto a carpet roller which is wiped across weeds, applying chemical to the underside of the leaf.

Mounted to an ATV or a UTV (or any vehicle with a standard ball hitch), the Wessex Rotowiper comprises of a unique roller carpet mounted on a sturdy mainframe, with a large wheel at each end, one of which drives the roller rotation. This roller runs in the opposite direction to the travel of the Rotowiper to allow thorough coating of the underside of the leaf, and is height-adjustable to ensure all weed types and growth stages are catered for. A reliable pump transfers chemical from the tank to the carpet, coating it evenly and thoroughly to ensure that the weed receives the right dosage of lethal chemical.

We recommend that a small amount of foaming agent such as Deva foam is added to the chemical tank. This allows the operator to see the flow of chemical being applied to the carpet roller, and gives a visual aid to ensure the correct amount of chemical is on the roller at any time. More chemical is added to the roller by a simple switch, controlled by the operator from the seat of the ATV / UTV.

The Wessex Rotowiper is available in 1.8m, 2.4m, 2.8m and 3.2m widths, and can be used on any vehicle with a standard tow ball hitch.

Why use a weedwiper?
• more cost-effective than spraying – chemical usage much reduced by targeted application
• hits the weed where it hurts – targets the vulnerable underside of the leaf, rather than the topside with it’s natural ‘protective coating’
• can be used close to water courses – with no polluting spray drift to worry about, weedwipers can be used in areas sprayers legally can’t
• ideal for pasture work – won’t kill off grass or clover – just the taller weeds
• more weedkilling days than sprayers – weedwipers can be used on windy days when sprayers can’t
• use with non-selective herbicides – chemicals such as Round-Up are a perfect match for a weedwiper
• minimal training required – no rocket science to weedwiping, and no nozzle sizes to calculate

Why use the Wessex Rotowiper?
• The original and best name in weedwiping – developed in New Zealand in the 1970′s, the Rotowiper has established a reputation for simple, reliable, and effective performance
• unique wiper carpet – with interwoven loops that are punched through the rotor, to hold moisture drops for longer. As the only specifically-designed weedwiper carpet in the world, it’s rotproof and UV-stabilised, with no glues to separate
• remote controlled pump – chemical flow rate can be controlled from the seat of the ATV / UTV
• neoprene rubber strip – prevents any risk of spray drift, and aids the foaming procedure
• spiral welded rotor – maximum strength acheived through superior manufacturing
• even coating of chemical – two check valves in the centre of the roller keep the carpet evenly coated with chemical
• full filtration – the chemical tank has a lid strainer, and the supply hose has an online filter to protect pump
Additionally the Rotowiper can be triple-mounted to control large areas of weeds in one pass. Please enquire for more information on this superb weed control system.
