Mechanical Weeder Built For Nexat Carrier
Einböck says the specially built implement is designed for mechanical weed control in row crops and can also be used to aerate soil before or after planting. The implement is carried, not pulled, and uses the Row-Guard camera system for steering. Einböck says that mounting their weeder on a Nexat carrier reduces the area that a typical weeder or cultivator pulled by a tractor drives in a field by up to 95 percent.
The Chopstar-Max has two carrier brackets that attach to the Nexat main frame. Hydraulic cylinders raise, lower and control the tool’s operating depth. The implement was tested in the spring of 2024 in several locations with excellent reports. The company plans to produce units for the 2025 growing season and have them available for shipment to several countries. Contact the company for availability and pricing.
