Rick Orosco, High Points Orchards

“The rows are cleaner than they were using chemicals; in fact, they’re cleaner than they’ve ever been. The Wonder Weeder does a fantastic job, and now I no longer have the annual cost of chemicals for my weed control.

Annually, we cover our 400 acres 6-7 times per year with the Wonder Weeder, and that is simply because I hate weeds, I like to stay ahead of the growth, and because we have impact sprinklers which become inoperative with weed interference.  We have never run into an instance where there was too much overgrowth to control. The Wonder Weeder can move a lot of weeds!

The maintenance costs on the Wonder Weeder are very minimal. We use only one operator for our orchards. Annually, he will replace a few bearings as well as replace the shear bar and he isn’t even a mechanic. The machine covers a lot of ground for a minimal cost. The fact that my operator is able to run the machine as well as service it is a huge savings of time and money for our operation.”
