How CombCut works
By putting a knife together with a metal bar with an opening in the rear end coarse weeds are cut but the slender crop slips through unharmed. Putting several pairs of these on a large metal bar builds up the machines weeding function. Please note that you use CombCut down in the crop combing and cut the weeds leaving crop unharmed. The weeds are then cut near the ground but crop slips through unharmed.

The basic idea is that you can comb and weed your crop with CombCut when:
- Crop is slender than the weed. And / or
- Weed is branched (crop is not). And / or
- There are differences in stiffness between crops and weeds
But of course you can also use CombCut to cut weeds above branched crops like canola, soy or coarse crops like some vegetables.
CombCut’s principle is to help the culture to suppress the weed.
- Cut the weed to improve the competitiveness of the culture.
- Machine combs through the culture, cuts the weed, but not the crop
- A physical difference between the crop and the weed is required.
- Weed is stiffer than the culture
- Weed is thicker than the culture
- The weed has a different branching pattern than the culture
- If the culture is to thick or cannot be combed (e.g. salad / potatoes):
- Cut the weed right above the culture
- Repeat the cutting to prevent the weed from ”recharging”
