Front Mount shown with RH & LH Spin Weeder Assemblies, RH/LH 3-Blade Adjustable Disc Cultivators
Innovative, patented In-Row Cultivation Tool for Vineyards. Controls weeds without the use of chemicals. Tills soil and uproots weeds from first bloom to harvest!
The Next Generation of Mechanical Weed Control
The Spin Weeder vineyard cultivator is an effective means of cultivation and weed control in a variety of crop applications. This unique design focuses on eliminating plant damage that is common with hydraulic blade in-row cultivators. To eliminate plant damage, the Spin Weeder is equipped with 18″ diameter wheels which run in a counter-clockwise rotation and create a soil buffer between the wheel and the plant. Additional crop protection is achieved with an adjustable spring loaded retraction system. The Spin Weeder controls weeds without the use of chemicals.
The Spin Weeder vineyard cultivator was developed by Dave Kohler after many years of testing in Washington State.

Spin Weeder Vineyard Cultivator FAQs
Do I need a tractor PTO to operate the Spin Weeder?
No, the Spin Weeder turns by the forward speed of the tractor.
What horsepower tractor is required to operate the Spin Weeder?
We recommend at least a 45 horsepower tractor for dual spin weeders.
What adjustments do I need to make before starting to use?
The operators manual will show the few easy steps to set for your vineyard rows. Once you have the Spin Weeder set, you may not ever have to adjust it again.
I use chemicals to control berm weeds. Why should I change?
We feel there are a number of reasons you should consider changing:
- Of course, environmentally it is always best to eliminate chemicals.
- When you consider the cost of spraying equipment and herbicides, the Spin Weeder can be more economical.
- If there is debris as well as weeds in the berm, it greatly affects herbicide spraying, but does not affect the Spin Weeder.
- Because the Spin Weeder also tills the soil, you have the advantage of aerating and drying out the soil, removing insects, and destroying tunnels created by rodents.
