With this action, the weeds also get buried in the soil. The wheel hoes are available in various designs and sizes.

Features:

The self propelled weeder consists of a box section chassis, 3-hp petrol -start- kerosene run engine, transmission system, drive wheels, tool mounting bar of 70 x 70 mm size. The wheel tread (spacing between two wheels) can be adjusted from 400 to 650 mm to suit the row to- row spacing of different crops. The V -shaped weeding sweeps of 150 and 200 mm size are fitted on tynes. These tynes are mounted on the tool bar with clamps. The tynes are raised or lowered for adjusting the depth of operation and locked in position by the clamp. The spacing between sweeps can be is easily adjusted by sliding the tynes on tool mounting bar to suit the crop row spacing. Power from engine is transmitted to gearbox through V –belt and pulleys. While transportation, the tynes are adjusted to the raised position so they do not dig into the ground. The tynes are adjusted according to the row spacing of the crop and depth of operation.
