Non-clogging, self-cleaning blade. Its unique design sheds weed debris and soil trash. This eliminates stopping to clean off the blade. You can cultivate an entire row with a steady forward motion. There is no need for time wasting back and forth motion. This attachment is included at no additional cost.
Low resistance configuration. The Speeder Weeder requires very little effort to use because it displaces soil in one direction only - upwards. Pushing soil forward or to the side requires forces many times greater than upward displacement. This tool is designed to lift the soil particles rather than push them, which makes cultivation much easier.
No till principles. The Speeder Weeder tills the soil without the turning or mixing action of rototilling or plowing. Turning the soil brings dormant weed seeds up to the surface where they can germinate. Since the Speeder Weeder does not turn the soil over, fewer weeds will germinate after each cultivation.
This is a tool that can take much of the drudgery out of gardening. The Maxadyne Wheel Hoe certainly is not a "new fangled gadget". The wheel hoe has been around for many generations because it has always been the easiest method of hand powered cultivation.The Maxadyne Wheel Hoe utilizes all the principles learned through many decades of wheel hoe development. However, the Maxadyne has utilized materials and methods of manufacturing that were not available to the designers of the original wheel hoes.
The Maxadyne Wheel Hoe has patent protection on five unique features that make it easier to use, lighter in weight, more durable, and more versatile than the wheel hoes grandma and grandpa used.
The Maxadyne Wheel Hoe looks like a very simple tool, but it was three years in the prototype stage of development. This extensive development effort has resulted in the perfection of a time tested tool. (Well, perhaps near perfection.)
It is now sold exclusively through the Internet. Here's why. The wheel hoe is a specialty item. It probably will never have mass market appeal. As such, marketing and distribution costs have been very high for each unit sold. Catalog companies retail a product such as this with at least a 100% markup on cost. This is necessary to cover their costs of doing business: product photography, catalog printing, catalog mailing, interest on inventory, order processing, etc. Retail stores usually need a 60% markup on specialty products - or more. In the past, marketing and distribution costs have almost doubled the retail price of the Maxadyne Wheel Hoe.
Now there is the Internet which finally makes it possible to sell this product at an affordable price and still leave a profit for the manufacturer. No more little ads that cost $1200. No more catalogs or hardware stores or garden centers. Now you can buy the Maxadyne Wheel Hoe direct from the manufacturer. We do it all: develop the prototype, design the tooling, manufacture the components and assemble them, package the product, process the orders, and ship the product directly to your door. No middlemen! And you, the customer, can buy a quality specialty product at a reasonable cost. Hurray for the Internet!
