Plastic Brush Tree Weeder CROPS Weed Control 10-4-23 A new plastic brush tree weeder gets up close to trees for weeding without doing damage.
The manufacturer, Pobalti, in Bellpuig, says the brush-weeder was developed to replace steel tined weeder arms. The plastic brushes are made up of strands ?-in. in dia. that spin at 300 rpm's powered by a hydraulic motor. The brush mounts on a retractable arm that lifts around trees, when necessary.
The brushes will clean up about 50 acres of closely planted orchard before needing changing, a process that takes about 5 min. The tree weeder sells for $835.
