Weed WipersBlaney have been pioneers in the development of weed wiping technology, now widely recognised as one of the most effective proven alternatives to boom spraying on grassland. By targeting only the weeds with herbicide, valuable grass and clover are left untouched, helping maintain grass growth while delivering significant savings on chemical use.Weed wiping is most effective where weeds are standing above the sward, allowing direct contact with the weed leaf rather than blanket application across the field. This provides accurate control, minimal drift, and far lower chemical usage compared to conventional spraying.Blaney weed wipers primarily use synthetic fibre roller systems, which have proven to deliver more consistent application, better durability, and improved performance in real working conditions compared to traditional brush-style systems. Herbicide is applied directly to the roller and transferred only to the weed, giving clean, controlled application with minimal waste.With a strong focus on continual improvement and in-house R&D, Blaney have developed second-generation weed wiping technology, including Auto Weed Detection on selected models, designed to improve consistency and ease of use across varying field conditions.The Blaney range includes single and dual roller machines suitable for ATV, UTV and tractor use, as well as heavy-duty tractor-mounted models with working widths from 2.4m up to 6.6m, offering effective solutions for both smaller farms and large-scale grassland operations.Environmental BenefitsBlaney weed wiping systems are proven to deliver some of the lowest chemical costs in grassland weed control while also being among the most environmentally responsible options available.With no spray drift, wildlife habitats and sensitive or species-rich areas are far less affected. By protecting soil microbes and the root ecosystem, weed wiping supports healthier, more productive grassland and improves operator safety.
The Weed Destroyer, although the entry level in the Quad-X & Blaney range of weed wipers, is a machine that has a lot of impressive features to offer. The operator regulates the herbicide application and weed coverage by controlling when chemical is applied to the roller.
Contra rotating roller for faster weed kill rates.
The weed is lifted up to allow for chemical to be applied to the underside of the leaf where it is sensitive to the chemical. This allows for a much faster herbicide absorption, compared to applying chemical to the waxy surface.
Long fibre roller - for excellent chemical retention and chemical application
Only available as a towed 2.4 m model.
The Xterminator 2 TM is also a manual system where the user controls when and how much chemical needs to be applied to the rollers from the cab of the tractor. However it is equipped with DUAL contra-rotating rollers.
Dual contra-rotating rollers for faster weed kill rates. Rotate in opposite directions for optimum chemical application – for quicker kill.

The Wipeout 2 is 2nd generation patented wiping technology which offers massive savings on chemical over any conventional system and is ideal for environmentally sensitive areas where boom spraying is not appropriate.
What makes the Wipeout TM 2 superior to anything else is the automatic chemical application and the dual roller design. The automatic weed sensor system detects your weeds and only applies chemical to the rollers when weeds are present, meaning no guesswork and no wasted chemical.
