Excellent equipment, robust and effective, which saves hours of hard work and litres of harmful products. I am delighted. And another plus is the team's first-rate responsiveness: the order was processed very quickly, instructions were sent, etc. Great.

First of all, the person offering the Herbivorix answers your questions without any problem, speaks openly about the product and gives honest answers, which is much appreciated. A good product that works. It does take some getting used to at first, depending on whether the gravel is firmly compacted or not, as you can sink in or sometimes stop the ride-on mower; the same goes for adjusting the blade height, but you get there with time. I maintain three courtyards, two of which had been neglected. Herbivorix got them back into shape with much less effort and time. Basically, after three passes the courtyards were clean, with no more grass and the gravel loosened. Since then, an occasional maintenance pass. A tip for anyone interested: consider the hardened steel blade option, because going through gravel wears down the blade, though I do give it a hard time. I need to try it with a neighbour's quad to see whether it is better suited than the tractor. I took off one star because some studs for assembling the harrow were missing, two to be precise. Something to improve would be blade height adjustment, or a transport position, without having to get off the tractor. I have a little idea about that.

Quality equipment with clear, explicit assembly instructions, except for fitting the wheels. Very fast delivery and easy to get to grips with, but the results have not met my expectations: either the load is not heavy enough or the ground is too hard where the gravel layer is thin. To be assessed again later.

We are fully satisfied with our purchase of this tool. The HERBIVORIX is easy to use and keeps gravel paths clean without strain or chemicals. We do not find the harrow very useful, and putting it in the raised position, with the tines pointing upwards, makes reversing easy when the Herbivorix is in its transport position.

I discovered this product on social media. Being sceptical by nature about this sort of communication, I nevertheless called the telephone number provided. What a pleasant surprise to be in direct contact with the person in charge. From then on, everything went wonderfully: advice, delivery on time, easy assembly with very well-prepared instructions, and the owner's unfailing availability to help with getting started, right up to the highlight of trying the machine on my gravel courtyard! The result is amazing; it works brilliantly, and I recommend it without hesitation. This invention is one of those machines I wish I had found sooner. My courtyard and its weeds had made the property look neglected and poorly maintained. Thanks to this product, I am free of an enormous chore, so I simply want to thank its inventor. He can be proud of it. Sincerely, Jean Baptiste from Brittany.

Hello, I use the equipment regularly and am still completely satisfied with its mechanical weeding, preferably on damp ground. It is a pleasure no longer to have the tedious task of spraying or to use toxic products. Well done for its design and the service it provides. Many thanks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Very good. Delivers on its promise. A suggestion for improvement: add a tool for working along edges that are not straight.
