ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for cutting vegetation and applying chemicals to the cut vegetation. The invention comprises a housing having a cutting blade rotatably mounted within the housing for cutting vegetation to a predetermined height above the ground. A member is mounted in the housing and disposed rearwardly of the cutting blade relative to the operational direction of travel of the apparatus such that when the apparatus is disposed on the ground in an operative condition, the member extends below the level of the cutting blade for forcing downwardly stubble remaining following the cutting operation. A sprayer is disposed in the housing rearwardly of the cutting blade relative to the operational direction of travel of the apparatus and oriented to spray chemicals onto the stubble after the stubble has passed behind the cutting blade. A scarifier is disposed in the housing rearwardly of the cutting blade relative to the operational direction of travel of the apparatus in the path of the stubble to score stubble with which the scarifier comes into contact. A brush is disposed in the housing rearwardly of the scarifier relative to the operational direction of travel of the apparatus to brush chemicals onto the scarified stubble.
