Does anyone in our farming community have one of these?

With the paspalum on the field at Pohlen Park growing rapidly there might be the opportunity to w**d wipe them if we don’t mow for a week and can set the w**d wiper low enough

Let me know if you have one we could have a go to see if it might work

Thanks
