Building on more than 25 years of experience in the field, the WeedSeeker® 2 system brings generational improvement to the spot spraying market.
WeedSeeker® 2 is the next generation spot spray system from Trimble Agriculture. Designed with 25 years of weed killing experience, it delivers all-around superior performance to previous solutions.
Using advanced optics and processing power, the WeedSeeker® 2 system detects and applies herbicide to weeds. When a weed passes underneath the sensor it signals its linked spray nozzle to precisely deliver herbicide and kill the weed, reducing the amount of chemical applied by up to 90%.
As Australian distributor for WeedSeeker® 2 , McIntosh Distribution works closely with WeedSeeker and Australian farmers to provide solutions for better and more efficient farming processes.
“WeedSeeker® 2 - the spot spraying system. Spray weeds, not bare ground.”
WeedSeeker® 2 will spray only weeds, not bare ground. WeedSeeker® 2 technology is effective wherever weeds occur intermittently, and can be fitted to most boom sprays.
WeedSeeker® 2 is being used in agriculture, irrigation districts, along roadsides, railway corridors, airport runways, golf courses, parking lots, median strips, parks and hiking trails, etc. The possibilities are limitless.
Download Brochure Find a DealerDuring WeedSeeker® 2 development, Trimble investigated multiple ways to detect chlorophyll in plants. All wavelengths of light were tested but the Red & Near InfraRed dual-band combination was found to be the best chlorophyll detection source.
WEED DETECTION SOURCE
Dual-Frequency Light Source. Red and Near Infra-Red light, are used to detect chlorophyll in living plants. Red light is absorbed by the weeds chlorophyll and Near Infra-Red light reflects. The WeedSeeker® 2 detects chlorophyll presence by changes in light reflectance.
OPERATING SYSTEM
New display not required—use any ISOBUS-compatible display you currently own to monitor and control your WeedSeeker® 2 system. Our simple and intuitive interface allows people of any skill level to track herbicide use and log coverage maps.
AUTO CALIBRATION
WeedSeeker® 2 sensors are constantly tuning themselves to the conditions, accounting for changes in soil background levels, ambient light levels, daytime temperature etc.
TURN COMPENSATION
WeedSeeker® 2 automatically adjusts when you are cornering, ensuring there are no missed targets because of speed-related changes.
Miller Nitro WeedSeeker Mono Boom
Miller Nitro owners are enjoying the convenience of the WeedSeeker Mono Boom. Ranging from 24 - 36 metres widths for more capacity and efficiency, you can easily switch from a blanket spray to WeedSeeker selective spot spraying in under half an hour.
WeedSeeker Mono Boom Trailer
The ultimate accessory to the WeedSeeker Mono Boom for Miller Nitro, the WeedSeeker Mono Boom trailer offers unsurpassed convenience - Moving and storing your Miller Nitro WeedSeeker Mono Boom has never been easier.
Miller Nitro WeedSeeker Mono Boom
WeedSeeker Mono Boom Trailer:
A partnership between Stoll Boomsprays & McIntosh Distribution has produced a dedicated platform designed specifically suited to fit WeedSeeker® 2.
The Stoll Boomspray is a multi-task boom, with twin tanks allowing you to spot spray with WeedSeeker® 2 alone, and dual line applications allowing you to spot spray & apply a light rate of overall herbicide at the same time, or, as an overall spray application with both tanks combined to give up to 8000 litre capacity.
Quick-release brackets also give you the ability to easily remove the WeedSeeker® 2 sensors from the Stoll boom when not in use.

The WeedSeeker 2 Quick-Release Stainless Steel Bracket Kits allows easy installation and removal of your WeedSeeker 2 system from a wide range of popular self-propelled and towed sprayers.
A new frame and a less bulky design are just some of the features of the new bracket kit, which can be simply bolted on and taken off the spray boom by one person in half an hour, saving valuable time.
As a result of a new plumbing system, using TeeJet solenoids, and smaller brackets, the life of your boom is also extended due a lighter load on your boom.
When your WeedSeeker 2 spray boom is not in use, the brackets can be conveniently removed and stored under cover for protection. Or, if necessary, simply moved to another spray rig quick and easily.
The WeedSeeker 2 Quick-Release Stainless Steel Bracket Kits are available for a range of popular self-propelled and towed sprayer brands. Speak to your WeekSeeker 2 dealer for available models.

Save up to 90% on chemical costs by spraying the weeds and not bare ground.
Growers use WeedSeeker® 2 to control weeds for chemical fallow spraying, no-till field spraying, pre-plant weed spraying and post-harvest weed control by automatically spot spraying the weeds and not bare soil.
Milkthistle, Bindweed, Fleabane, Round-up Ready Cotton, and Ryegrass are just a few of the difficult to control weeds for broadacre farmers. Weeds drain the nutrients and water from the soil reducing yield and profits.
Row Crop
High value crops such as vegetables, melons and nursery stock often require frequent applications of fungicides, mildicides and foliar feeds.
Self-propelled, utility vehicles, ATVs or pull-behind sprayers all constantly apply herbicide regardless of how high or low the weed coverage. Herbicide costs are the same in either situation.
The WeedSeeker® 2 uses advanced optics and computer circuitry to sense the presence of the crop. When the crop enters the sensor's field of view, it signals a spray nozzle, or series of nozzles, to deliver a precise amount of fungicide, mildicide, fertiliser, etc to the crop. Chemicals are applied directly to the crop where it is needed and not on the bare ground. This reduces the overall chemical use and dramatic savings are achieved early in the spray cycle before plants grow together.
Download Brochure Find a DealerThe WeedSeeker® system is relatively simple to install, with most farmers choosing to retain their existing spray line and plumbing in the WeedSeeker® sensors as an additional spray line.
For example, on a 24 metre boom, 64 sensors are installed at 380mm spacing and connected to a daisy cable, which runs from sensor to sensor.
Line controller boxes are connected to the daisy cable and control up to 32 sensors each. The line controllers are connected to a control box in the tractor cabin, which has settings for speed and sensitivity.
The fast fire solenoids are fitted with flat fan nozzles to spray a 500mm by 500mm footprint.
Vineyard
Vineyards managers use WeedSeeker to control weeds on berms, strips or row-to-row by automatically spot spraying the weeds and not bare soil.
Self-propelled, utility vehicles, ATVs or pull-behind sprayers all spray constantly to apply herbicide regardless of high or low weed coverage. Herbicide costs are the same in either situation.
The WeedSeeker® 2 uses advanced optics and computer circuitry to sense the presence of weed. When the weed enters the sensor’s field of view, it signals a spray nozzle to deliver a precise amount of herbicide only to that weed. Herbicide use is reduced 60% to 90% on most spray applications.
Orchard
Nutsedge, Spurge, Johnsongrass & Morning Glory are just a few of the difficult to control weeds in orchards. Weeds drain the nutrients and water from the soil reducing yield and profits.
Find a DealerVineyards, tree crops & councils are also reaping the benefits of selectively applying herbicide to just the weeds with the WeedSeeker® 2 system, herbicide savings from up to 90% are being achieved.
The ability to apply higher rates of expensive herbicide chemistry on hard-to-kill or resistant plants is not just limited to the broad acre market.
The Horticultural & Industrial settings face similar issues when it comes to herbicide resistance & the high cost of weed control.
WeedSeeker® 2 is a cost-effective way for these industries to reduce the amount of herbicide being applied, which is better for the environment & the grower’s bottom line.
