US 2022/0095603 A1 · HYDRO CUTTING TOOLS

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a hydrolopper system comprising a herbicide reservoir and pump coupled using a supply line to a hydrolopper tool. Herbicide inside the herbicide reservoir is pumped through the supply line to a first spray head positioned at a distal end of the hydrolopper tool. The hydrolopper tool comprises a blade arm opposed to a landing arm extending from a from a first drive arm and a second drive arm. Closing of the drive arms causes consequent closure between a cutting jaws portion for cutting of vegetation. In some forms, the feedline travels through a cannula of a drive arm, whereas in other forms, the feedline is disposed on the outside of a drive arm. Herbicidal flow rate is controlled by a flow control valve.
