What is a tine weeder?

Tine weeders are a versatile piece of equipment used for mechanical weed control. These pieces of equipment are made using spring loaded tines that flick weeds out of the ground, exposing their roots and killing the plant.

One of the main reasons we prefer the use of a tine weeder on our organic ground is because of it’s versatility in both pre emergence, and post emergence weed control. The Hatzenbichler Tine Weeders that we carry here at Crop Fertility Services offer a wide range of customization (for some of you.. almost TOO much customization) and options designed to work for your specific situation. 

Can you move the tine sections? Yes. The tine sections are adjustable to fit your field layout.

Do you have Hydraulic Tine Angle Adjustment? Yes. That option is standard on most sizes. 

Do you have Hydraulic Down pressure on the tine section baskets? Yes. That is an option added by many people – especially if it’s a bigger tine weeder and/or in terrain that is hilly/uneven ground.
