Martin Hazenveld is a beef farmer. Having been a very succesful mechanical engineer in Europe, Martin opted for a change in lifestyle and came to Australia with his family in 1982. In the early nineties he bought a large cattle property in the rugged upper Hastings hinterland where he encountered many of the problems farmers face today.
		First and foremost was how to effectively and efficiently keep his pastures free from weeds. Over the next 10 years Martin sourced and used most of the recognised weed control methods on the market, from hand held spot spraying to the faster operating boom and wiping methods. None of them met Martin’s requirements; they used a large amount of chemicals, were cumbersome to operate, easily damaged and overall were not cost effective in Martin’s experience. Using his engineering skills (he started designing production machinery at the age of 17), Martin took 2½ years and created the Swingwiper range of products. They are extremely robust, economical, easy to use & maintain and most importantly they work and keep working in the harsh Australian conditions!

Swingwiper. With the Swingwiper, weeds are eliminated: 1 quicker, 2 more effectively, 3 with less chemicals, 4 more economically, 5 even in rough terrain, year after year after year...
The Swingwiper is a unique, rotary weed wiper towed by a 4 wheel bike/vehicle or tractor. It features a carpet-covered tube that swings away when obstacles are encountered, a nozzle system that ensures even application, and an easy-to-operate controller that eliminates guesswork.
