Wet blade herbicide application systems?

245dlc ยท 2016-12-06 18:48

Has anybody here used a 'Wet Blade' herbicide application system before? I have only found one manufacturer of this type of system and was wondering if anybody has any experience with it? We are currently looking at acquiring or designing our own system to bid on a power line maintenance contract. The system will likely be used on a 160 or 210 excavator and a mini-excavator about 5 tonne size. http://diamondmowers.com/pages/wetblade-systems

    I would like to see how the product used is delivered to the blades . Might work with Roundup or glyphosate but most weeds will not take it in when they have been wounded .

    We aren't going for the weeds its for the trees that sprout back up after mulching a power line right of way in a provincial park where spraying is not permitted. The utility company just wants to slow down the willows and poplars from quickly taking over again.
