Rod Weeders

Remove weeds and condition seedbeds for excellent planting results with Bigham Brothers' wide selection of rod weeders. High carbon 1" square rod counter rotates under the seedbed to perform three jobs that enhance planter performance and seed emergence in row crops. Rod drive units may be selected to complement tractor equipment and a wide variety of rod placement hangers may be chosen to place rod accurately on any tool bar make-up. The rod weeder rod executes three important functions to prepare a seedbed:

Counter-rotation of rod uproots weeds and provides a positive mechanical undercut across the bed.
Rod weeder attachment may be adjusted to operate rod at anticipated planting depth. Rod seals moisture at operating depth so that seed may be placed in fresh, moist soil.
Upper soil profile will be agitated for surface drying. Dry soil on top acts as an abrasive to keep planter disc openers clean and prevent baking.
