A side-by-side is often the most-used machine on a farm or hunting property, and the Smucker 10 ft UTV weed wiper turns it into a wide, selective weed control tool. This pump-fed wiper connects to the bumper on your UTV using Smucker's bumper mounts and spreads four sponges across a full 10 ft, so you can treat tall weeds in pastures and food plots in fewer passes.
Why use a weed wiper on your side-by-side?
A weed wiper applies herbicide by contact. The sponges are kept wet, and only plants tall enough to brush against them are treated. Set the bar above your grass, clover or crop and the taller weeds take the herbicide while the stand below is left alone. Running a wiper on a UTV gives you a comfortable seat, room in the bed for your tank and pump, and a machine that handles trails and gates easily. Always follow the herbicide label, including any directions for wiper or wick application.
Key features of the 10 ft UTV-mount wiper (Part # WWTCUTV10)
- 10 ft working width built from a 5' tool bar, a 5' tool bar extension and an extension insert bar.
- Bumper mounting to your UTV using Smucker's bumper mounts, with four 33" mounting brackets and U-bolts in the kit.
- Four 30" sponge assemblies fed by a 4-port manifold for the 10' Top Crop.
- Quick disconnect and filter assembly for hooking up your pump.
- 30 ft of black 1/4" solid tubing, five T riser assemblies, hose clamps, six mounting bracket tabs, nylon ties, hardware and a user's manual.
Pump requirements: sprayer not included
The sprayer is not included with this wiper. Smucker recommends a pump of 1.8 GPM or larger for the 10 ft UTV model and notes that the 2.4 GPM Fimco sprayer would work great. A tank and pump can ride in your UTV bed and connect to the wiper through the included quick disconnect and filter assembly.
Setting up the wiper on your UTV bumper
- Attach the mounting brackets to your bumper, then assemble the 5' tool bar, extension and insert bar.
- Follow the user's manual to run tubing from the 4-port manifold to each sponge assembly.
- Adjust height so the sponges ride above your desirable plants. On a 10 ft bar, check both ends over uneven ground.
- Prime all four sponges before starting and drive at a steady pace; a second pass in the opposite direction helps on thick stands.
- Clean the system after each job as directed on the herbicide label.

Other sizes and mounts
For small plots and tight lanes, the 5 ft UTV weed wiper also mounts to your bumper with two sponges and a 1 GPM minimum pump. If you run a four-wheeler, the 10 ft ATV tool rack wiper has the same width on an ATV rack. Tractor owners covering big fields can step up to the 15 ft front bucket wiper.
