GrassWorks Weed Wiper – The Ultimate Weed Control System

GrassWorks Weed Wiper – The Ultimate Weed Control System

GrassWorks Weed Wiper™, the ultimate weed control system eliminates any drift and drip concerns onto your crops.

GrassWorks Weed Wiper™, The Rotating Weed Wiper that Works, has been used for years with much success in controlling noxious weeds in hay and pasture operations, row cropping, roadside vegetation management. Rope-wick and sponge type applicators have been around for years and were often some device fashioned by the producer, the effectiveness against weed problems was very marginal at best. Farmers complained that if the rope wick and sponge application was wet enough to kill the weeds, it would drip in the middle and be dry on ends. Farmers all across the nation, have found the GrassWorks Weed Wiper™, manufactured in the United States is their answer for an economical, easy and efficient weed management system for killing weeds.

The GrassWorks Weed Wiper™ weed control system is totally different from any other contact applicator due to the rotating steel drum. As it is driven it turns in the opposite direction that the GrassWorks Weed Wiper is traveling, so that you get a good wiping action on the plants that you are trying to get rid of. This rotating action does several things.

First, it allows us to run the carpet material very saturated and therefore have a lot of chemical available to apply to the targeted weeds. Because it is rotating, it eliminates the drip.

Second, it is applying the chemical to the bottom or underside of the leaves and stems, allowing plant kill to be easier because of greater porosity. This is applying the chemicals to the weakest part of the weed.

Third, with the adjustable height we are only putting the chemicals on the targeted weeds and not wasting chemicals on grasses and clovers or crops that we want to keep.

Different units can be custom built with sizes to fit any farming operation.

Mighty Giant Updates Design on PTO Models

Mighty Giant Updates Design on PTO Models

Beemer, NE, June 2026 – Jones Manufacturing, manufacturer of the Mighty Giant tub grinders, is excited to announce the release of the redesigned PTO tub grinders, replacing the 1015 and 2015 models are the new 1050 and 2050 models. Innovative design changes were implemented for enhanced user experience and improved grinder performance.

The Mighty Giant model 1050 and model 2050 overall weights were reduced to decrease standard wear and tear on equipment parts and increase operational speed. Our remote control was redesigned to be more ergonomical; but still includes the standard features of start/stop, elevator raise/lower, elevator fold/unfold, the 2050 model remote operations also includes tub raise/lower and elevator swing right/left. The overrun clutch to power down the tub grinder safely without damaging the tractor PTO was previously an add-on option but is now included with the standards features for the model 1050 tub grinder. Redesigned take-up bearing adjusters, which are more user-friendly, were added to the elevator along with a temperature control cooling fan to regulate fluid temperatures, delivering consistent air flow to prevent overheating.

Durable, extended wear double laid out screens are standard, allowing the grinder operator to easily change screens without needing to determine the front or back edge of the screen; therefore saving time when switching screen sizes. On the 1050 model, the gear pump was replaced with a hydrostatic pump with internal flow controls for precise control of flow and optimum performance despite grinding capacities.

The Mighty Giant model 2050, the largest capacity PTO tub grinder on the market, now has a Transfluid® fluid coupler for easier start/stop operations and added protection for the tractor PTO.

 

About Jones Manufacturing

Since 1929 Jones Manufacturing has delivered high capacity, durable and innovative grinders to ag producers and industrial grinding customers across the United States, Panama, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Columbia, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and South America. Operating our own grinding services gives us daily hands-on experience to gain user insight. This experience in conjunction with maintaining a long-lasting relationship with our customers is the reason Mighty Giant was the first tub grinder manufacturer in the industry to offer a hydraulically opening tub, electronic governor, and the addition of the hydrafork, a heavy-duty grapple, to our trailer mount and truck mount units.

New G500V VariCut boosts Case IH performance

New G500V VariCut headers boost Case IH combines’ performance

Working widths of 6.1-12.5m (20-41ft) / In-line knife drive with dual drive on 10.5m and 12.5m models / Knife speed increase from 660rpm to 735rpm enables higher forward speeds without compromising cutting performance / New click-on side knife-St. Valentin, June 25, 2025-Case IH Axial-Flow® combines can now be equipped with new G500V VariCut variable knife grain headers, with features that enhance performance and ease operator workload. The seven G500V models span 6.1-12.5m (20-41ft) working widths, each with a knife that can be moved across a 575mm fore/aft range to ensure consistent crop flow in all crop types and conditions. Wider models feature new hydraulically-operated gauge wheels that can be switched from the cab between transport and field mode, making it unnecessary to manually raise the wheels before loading the header on its trailer. (De)coupling time is minimized thanks to connections grouped on the left-hand side only, and a single PTO.

New VariCut headers feature inline knife drive, with fully-linear output shaft motion, for smooth operation with minimal vibration. The belt drive has been replaced by gearboxes and a telescopic PTO, reducing overall driveline maintenance requirements and easing the operator workload to maximise comfort. The 10.5m/35ft and 12.5m/41ft models feature 100% synchronized dual knife drive, where the right-hand knife is driven via the intake auger, an upgrade which helps further minimize vibration. A knife speed increase from 660rpm to 735rpm enables higher forward speeds without compromising cutting performance, maximising capacity.

How it Works

The auger stripper setting can now be altered from the rear of the header, encouraging operators to regularly check for correct adjustment, and to ensure even and consistent crop flow. The new auger height adjustment assembly provides two pre-set positions: a high one primarily for rapeseed/canola and a low one for small grains. This requires simply loosening four bolts and rotating the over-centre cam system, reducing adjustment time on single-span augers by 25%.

A new click-on side knife with aluminium cast frame is one-third lighter than the outgoing design. Over-centre locking retains the side knife or divider assemblies, cutting knife removal time by 50%, while lighter knives mean easier handling.

“The new G500V VariCut variable knife grain headers are designed specifically to help customers and operators of Case IH Axial-Flow 160 and 260 series combines, and the new AF series combines, to get the best performance from their machines,” explains Andreas Saile, Case IH Crop Harvesting Business Manager for Europe.

“Improvements from the gauge wheels to the couplings. Including, plus the lighter click-on sideknife, mean quicker set-up, enabling operators to get going faster in the field. With the main knife speed increase improving throughput, and the new knife drive cutting maintenance time, these upgrades collectively allow users to exploit the full potential of their combines.”
