Northern Ireland Sustainable Farming Investment Scheme Now Open: Funding Available on Eligible Quad-X Weed Wipers

July 20, 2026

The Northern Ireland Sustainable Farming Investment Scheme is now open, giving farmers the opportunity to invest in eligible machinery designed to improve efficiency, reduce input costs and support more sustainable farming practices.

For those looking to improve grassland weed control, eligible Quad-X Weed Wipers are available through the scheme, making now an ideal time to invest in the most effective targeted weed control system on the market.

Whether you’re replacing older equipment or investing for the first time, grant funding can help reduce the cost of upgrading to machinery that delivers long-term savings while improving pasture management.

Smarter Weed Control Starts with the Right Equipment

Managing docks, thistles, rushes and other problem weeds is an ongoing challenge for livestock farmers.

Traditional boom spraying certainly has its place, but where weeds are scattered throughout productive grassland, blanket spraying often means applying herbicide to large areas that don’t actually require treatment.

Quad-X Weed Wipers offer a more targeted approach.

By applying herbicide directly onto taller weeds while leaving the surrounding grass untouched, farmers can achieve effective weed control while using significantly less chemical and preserving valuable grazing.

It’s a smarter way to manage grassland while making every litre of herbicide work harder.

Designed to Reduce Costs, Not Just Weeds

With input costs continuing to place pressure on farm businesses, investing in machinery that delivers long-term savings has never been more important.

Quad-X Weed Wipers have been developed to help farmers:

• Reduce herbicide use
• Lower chemical costs
• Protect productive grass
• Minimise spray drift
• Improve the quality of grazing pastures

Selected Quad-X Weed Wiper models can reduce chemical usage by up to 97% compared with conventional boom spraying, helping lower operating costs while maintaining effective weed control.

Built on 30 Years of Innovation

For three decades, Quad-X has specialised in developing innovative machinery that helps farmers work more efficiently.

Designed and manufactured in Northern Ireland, the Quad-X Weed Wiper range has continually evolved through engineering innovation and practical on-farm experience.

Features across the range include:

• Long fibre rollers for optimum herbicide transfer
• Contra-rotating roller technology for improved weed coverage
• Adjustable working heights to suit varying weed conditions
• Heavy-duty construction built for demanding agricultural environments

Selected models also feature innovative automatic weed detection and controlled chemical application technology, helping optimise herbicide use while allowing the operator to focus on driving.
