    Folks...
    Has anyone bought any of the homemade weedlickers like the ones for sale on Donedeal... this looks well made and uses similar principals to "professional" ones I saw at the ploughing...

    Are the wick type weedlickers such as C Dax, better than the rotating ones

    wonder how long the belt would last?

    I had a roller type before i bought a C-Dax licker last year. The C-Dax licker is a far better machine:D. You have no dripping what so ever. Where as with the roller type ,it's hard enough to keep all the carpet equally wet. especially on hilly ground where you have a lot of turning. With tha C-dax All you have to do is regulate it before you start and you don't have to worry again till you are finished.

    Could I ask what sort of €€€'s the C-Dax was ??

    I paid 1800euro 2yrs ago, but they have gone up since. I bought it in KenO'Neills in miltown (066)9767163. I had my own 75ltr tank for quad . You can get a tank to sit on top of licker though if you are pulling it with tractor. I know it will be a bit more expensive licker but far better.You should go on C-DAX website and you can see the licker and you would be able to find out where there's a dealer nearest you.

    At the ploughing they were asking 2000 for the licker ,and 700 for the tank and regulator ,the latter seemed a bit expensive

    We have a homemade and no problems with the belt.

    Don't have it too tight.

    You could go for a B section belt, thicker section.
