Micron Weed-swiper in Solar Farm and on Grassland?

[steveR]

I saw these at Lamma in 2019 and thought they looked a good bit of kit, strong and simple, also priced reasonably... Any users here, failed or suceeded with one?

I am giving serious consideration to getting one, to use on grassland near a watercourse, and alos to see if I can use one inside a Solar Farm site between the panels, for controlling Rushes with Roundup. The Micron is a particularly low profile machine, which would be useful for getting under the panel itself which can get as low as 7-800mm on the leading edge.

i expect it will be ok looks well built, none of them work as effectivly as a boom sprayer anyway, wiping is a bit random so there's no perfect one?

and a second pass is possible that's not like with a sprayer either.

The need for repeat spraying is part of the reason for the appeal of a wiper. I anticipate needing a pass with a lance will be needed as well, for the areas out of reach of a wiper...
