Why Redback Weedwipers Outperform the Competition

Redback Weedwipers stand out from the competition due to their superior construction and practical features. Our weedwipers are built with a stronger box section frame, which provides 50% more weight compared to folded sheet metal alternatives. This means it’s more durable—even a heavy person can stand on it without breaking it. The double arm wheel arms offer enhanced stability and won’t angle over time, unlike common competitors, which rely on less supportive designs.  Our thicker wicks, with closed ends, prevent chemical runoff, ensuring more efficient and eco-friendly application. Our weedwiper also feature height adjustments up to 500mm, surpassing many competitor 385mm restrictions,  and the winder on the drawbar allows for smoother leveling from front to back, avoiding the inconvenience of pin. 

Furthermore, Redback Weedwiper wing wheels allow the frame to follow the ground’s natural contours, maintaining even coverage. It eliminates the need for a swivel towball. Unlike some competitors where a swivel towball is necessary, Redback’s design remains perfectly functional without one.

Works well for me especially with tussock.Weedwiper on tussock Redback Agri & Equine - Australia

Peter - QLD

The owners and staff of Redback were great to deal with. The communication and advice was excellent, and the product we selected, the Weedwiper, has been a brilliant addition to our needs on the farm, having manually sprayed for years it cuts down time and effort dramatically. The unit’s effectiveness has had everyone on the farm sincerely impressed. I would recommend the unit to anyone with a weed problem across large tracts of land, and Redback to deal with when you have a farming problem.

David - NSW

Simon - NSW

I have been consistently achieving a 95% kill rate. I absolutely love it!

Bill - VIC

The Redback follows the contours with the wheels which is fabulous… No more chemical spill due to breakages. The double wipe allows a much better kill rate and the bruise bar helps the penetration. So the Redback has a far higher kill rate. On our paddocks it has been as high a 95% and the least has been 80%. I would recommend the Redback Weedwiper

Lynn - QLD

We are very pleased with the weedwiper.  It took me about 3-4 tankloads to work out how often and for how long I need to pump the herbicide onto the wicks then I was cool and groovy!!  Have had an 85-90% kill rate with the wiping of our tussocks
