Mechanical weeder WEEDELETE® LM

tractor-mountedfor orchards

Overview
The WEEDELETE® LM mows the grass strip in the same working pass as hoeing the black rows in tree nurseries and orchards. Rear-mounted and ground-following, it combines patented systems to deliver year-round, ecological maintenance with low engine power and efficient working speed. Hoeing depth and ground pressure are adjustable to suit soil conditions.

Mowing head and operation
The WEEDELETE® LM can be fitted with an optional mowing head for full year-round versatility. A quick-change system allows the operator to switch between mowing and hoeing within minutes. The machine is offered in fixed and variable working-width versions; the variable version can be fitted with the WEEDELETE® automatic side-shift system.
