Finger Weeder - 3 Row

In this video Lydell gives an overview of how finger weeders work, where they can be used, and the different types of finger weeders. The Tilmor Finger Weeder is typically used for inner-row weeding. The finger weeder uproots small and just emerging weeds. The ground engaging steel drive plate turns the flexible polyurethane fingers at a faster speed to "flick" out emerging weeds at the hair stage. They can also be used to cultivate the edges of plastic mulch and in vineyards and nurseries.

Esta acción desarraiga la malezas en la etapa de hilo blanco.
