PackForge Mini Power Weeder 63 CC, 2-Stroke

What is a mini power weeder?

The 63 cc engine spins a short set of tines that chop weeds and break the top layer of soil across about 300 to 450 mm. Depth runs about 80 to 150 mm, depending on the ground. Being a two-stroke, it is lubricated by oil mixed into the fuel, so its 1.2 litre tank must only ever hold petrol blended with 2T oil. Plain petrol will damage the engine.

Use it in polyhouse beds, nursery rows, terrace plots, flower beds and around tree bases where a big machine cannot enter. It travels in a small vehicle to scattered plots. It is happiest in loose, previously dug soil and struggles in hard, dry clay. For open fields, the 7 HP petrol weeder covers ground faster, and many farms keep both.
