For larger food plots and pastures, a wider bar saves time. The Smucker 10 ft ATV weed wiper gives your four-wheeler a full 10 ft working width while still connecting to the ATV tool rack with the U-bolts provided in the kit. It is pump fed, so herbicide is delivered to all four sponges as you wipe weeds that grow above your plot or pasture.
Why a 10 ft wiper on an ATV?
A weed wiper only treats plants tall enough to touch its wet sponges, which makes it a selective tool for weeds standing above clover, grass or crops. On an ATV, a 10 ft bar covers twice the ground per pass of a 5 ft unit, while the machine stays light and maneuverable compared with a tractor. That combination suits hunters and landowners with several plots or a few acres of pasture to cover. As with any herbicide work, follow the product label, including any wiper or wick application directions.
Key features of the 10 ft ATV-mount wiper (Part # WWTCATV10)
- 10 ft working width from a 5' tool bar, a 5' tool bar extension and an extension insert bar.
- Four 30" sponge assemblies fed by a 4-port manifold for the 10' Top Crop.
- ATV tool rack mounting with four U-bolts (5/16-18 x 2 x 3-11/16) and four 33" mounting brackets.
- Quick disconnect and filter assembly for connecting your pump.
- 30 ft of black 1/4" solid tubing, five T riser assemblies, ten hose clamps, six mounting bracket tabs, nylon ties, hardware and a user's manual.
Pump requirements
Keep in mind that the sprayer is not included. With four sponges to supply, Smucker recommends a pump of 1.8 GPM or larger for the 10 ft ATV model, a step up from the 1 GPM minimum on the 5 ft version. Smucker notes that the 2.4 GPM Fimco sprayer would work great. Plan to connect your pump through the included quick disconnect and filter assembly.
Installing and running the 10 ft ATV wiper
- Clamp the 33" mounting brackets to your ATV tool rack with the included U-bolts, then assemble the tool bar and extension.
- Read the user's manual and route the tubing from the manifold to each sponge assembly.
- Set the bar height above your desirable plants. With a 10 ft bar, watch both ends on uneven ground.
- Prime all four sponges before the first pass and keep a steady, moderate speed.
- Clean the system after use as directed on the herbicide label.

Comparing the 10 ft ATV wiper with other models
If your plots are small or tight, the 5 ft ATV tool rack wiper is lighter and easier to maneuver. If you drive a side-by-side, the 10 ft UTV bumper-mount wiper offers the same 10 ft width and sponge count on a UTV bumper. Tractor owners can look at the 10 ft front bucket wiper. You can see every four-wheeler model in our ATV wipers collection, or compare all mounts in the weed wipers collection.
