Weed and grass burner

[tunin]

Hi guys, in 2019 I built a burner that I used with the blade carrier that has a valve triggered with an “antenna“ so I can drive trough my vineyards and cut the weeds/grass under the vines around the tree. I build one version of the burner to mount on this carrier...

i am looking to upgrade, make the burner better. Has anyone used any of these:

What are your thoughts?

the current burners are round and lined up next to each-other, I wanted to make it more rectangular, like this... any ideas, photos would be greatly appreciated.

thank you,

It appears they sell individual burners...
Get one... Let your imagination and ingenuity build what you need..

Thank you. I wish I could buy one, I am in europe and they are in the Us, the shipping alone is probably a few hundred dollars...

I figured out a few things today, welding it up tomorrow, we’ll see how I do and if I’ll light my self up.

Could probably modify something like this for your needs. Be careful, don’t blow yourself up!

I hope not, I will post photos as soon as I weld and figure pit other things up...

I have a few more things to do at the vineyards, after that, I will get back to building this...

I don't know the first thing about vineyards but I would love one of these to clear the 2" of ice off my driveway.

Did some quick work today during my pause from the vineyards work...

Found somw more time so I got a few more things done, some Mig & Tig welding, drilling nozzles...

Hopefully I ‘ll get it mounted on my swing arm and get it tested this week in the vineyards.

Looks good. You didn't melt your grinders on the wall while testing it did you?

Heck yea! That’s awesome! That’d make a good shop heater too!

Ha haa, no, the are not that close to the flame and I only run the burners for a few secs--- I might have ti move the nozzles in a bit or drill them to 2mm, I drilled them to 1.5...

Yeah, it throws some good heat... working on a swing arm to be able to move it under the grape trees. Mounting everything on to the blade runner I fabricate/mocked-up last year.
