Almost every municipality has several
areas which are challenging, unsafe
or impossible to mow. Ditches, steep
inclines, over guard rails and
waters-edge cutting become problems
of the past once the Boom Flail Mower .:
enters the scene.
h
The attachment is front-mounted for
better visibility compared to side or n
rear mount boom flails, resulting in
less operator fatigue and safer
operation. The compact size of the
MT and Boom Flail decreases
interference with passing traffic
compared to larger agricultural-type
tractor/mower combinations.
Finally, hydrostatic speed control
allows the operator to react to
oncoming obstacles for optimum
safety and productivity.
