Self-Propelled Auto Weeder
The Scorpion self-propelled automatic weeder cuts out weeds by the roots, working close to crops. It’s designed mainly for vegetable crops and can remove weeds between the rows and between the plants in the row.
    The 4-WD machine is powered by a 51 hp. diesel engine and hydrostatic transmission. The operator can oversee the hoe at work and set all the working parameters for it using a computerized touch screen.
    Each row unit has an infrared optical bar to detect weeds and plants, and each unit is also equipped with a pair of hydraulic arms that hold 2 cutting blades. The arms move in and out to remove weeds within 1/2 in. around each plant, and their working height can be adjusted by the operator.
    The automatic hoe is equipped with a floating frame able to shift on both sides using hydraulic pistons. The weeder can be used on as many rows as needed for each bed, with flexible configurations. One pass is all it takes to get the job done.
