Westermann WKB660 (STIHL Battery Powered) Weed Ripper (Tool Only)

Wide-area hard-surface weed removal

The Westermann WKB660 Stihl Battery Weed Ripper is designed for professional hard-surface cleaning, combining German engineering with the Stihl professional battery system. Its 12 individually rotating braided wire brushes attack thick, overgrown weeds and grass from different angles at high speed, without chemicals or water. With a 660mm working width, it is the largest machine in the Westermann WKB Weed Ripper range and is described as the fastest-clearing model in that range.

It is suited to users maintaining paths and other hard surfaces where weeds have become established, typically more than two to three months old. The machine can also redefine overgrown pathway edges as a lawn re-edging machine, providing an alternative to pressure washing or manual scraping. For smaller machines in the range, the WKB430 and WKB330 are also available.

Brush design and working access

Manufactured in Germany, the WKB660’s high-spinning brush design works weeds from multiple angles. A side flap in the guard can be lifted to expose the brushes at one side, helping the operator work close to wall bottoms and kerb edges. The handlebars fold down for storage or transit.

The WKB Weed Rippers are intended for established weeds, typically more than two to three months old. By comparison, Westermann’s WR870 Moss Brush range is designed for moss and smaller weeds, typically up to two months old.
