What attachment should I use?

[jodebg]

I have a 2 year old sand access road that I maintain. Weeds are beginning to
take over and I would like to clear them out, as best as possible. What attachment
would be best to use to pull out as many weeds as possible?

I'd spray it with Round Up.

Yep, RoundUp is the best attachment for this. If the weeds are really thick and tall, I'd sparay and perhaps followup with a York rake in a week or so.

#3 for Roundup (Glyphosate)

Another endorsement of glyphosate. I have noticed that prices for 41% glyphosate (2.5 gallon) are down this year in my area.

Three thumbs up for glyphosate! (thought I'd chime in with an 'international' endorsement) It'll get the broad-leaf plants & grasses... however if you've also got bracken or 'woody' stemmed weeds you'll either have to pull/dig them out or spray them with something a bit more robust.

What is the way to purchase glyphosate? I see both 41 and 70% available. And many brands available. Will this herbicide also kill poison ivy?

So many farmers in my area are using Roundup resistant crops the weeds are getting harder to kill, so we are often using Crossbow, Trimec or Cimmaron on broad leafs. We still use Roundup Ultra, but it seems we are applying it more frequently. Try Roundup and if it doesn't do it, check with your neighbors or local extension office.

If you want to kill everything in the road, mix up a concentration of glyphosate for grass and 2-4D Amine for broadleaf plants. 2-4D kills broadleaf plants like weeds and also trees so don't get it on any trees that you don't want to die.
I use this combo on my fence lines to keep them clean and it works darned well.

Thanks!
