Westermann Honda Moss Brush WR870

The Westermann range of weed and moss brushes offers a next-generation alternative to traditional pressure washing, designed for both commercial use and domestic applications. Built with precision German engineering and powered by a reliable Honda engine, these machines deliver consistent, high-performance results.

Hard Surface Moss Removal
This powered wire brush is engineered to effectively remove thick moss and light weeds from a variety of hard surfaces. With both clockwise and anti-clockwise brush rotation, it reaches deep into cracks and crevices where moss typically builds up, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals or water.

Powered by Honda
Exceptional quality and performance come as standard with Honda engine options. The Honda GXV160 is trusted by professionals for its dependable starting, fuel efficiency, and consistent day-to-day performance. Alternatively, the Honda GCVx170 provides a more cost-effective solution, ideal for occasional or lighter use.

German Engineering
Manufactured in Germany, this belt-driven machine features a jockey wheel positioned beneath the brush, allowing easy adjustment of bristle height for either aggressive or lighter brushing. The angled brush design helps prevent damage to surfaces such as block paving, tarmac, and concrete. For more delicate surfaces, a small test patch is recommended before full use.
