“Topper” Takes Out Tall-Growing Weeds
The W-Cutter was developed in Finland to take out tall-growing weeds above the crop, preventing the seed from maturing and interfering with harvest.
  The W-Cutter has other uses, such as crushing potato vines before harvest. It attaches to a front-end loader and is 36 ft. wide. It folds to a 9-ft. width for road transport. The 16 chains are driven by electric motors off a tractor-mounted generator. A smaller 27-ft. wide model is also available.
  Flail chains are made from thin resilient steel. Each section of the boom can be controlled separately. (www.w-cult.fi; ph 011 358 400 715 728)
