Tiger
Rear-stow boom mower
Tiger’s new rear-stow boom mower, the BoomKat,
travels and locks in legal travel width and height to provide safe
transport. This feature saves time and money by eliminating the need to haul
it to the job site. Another feature is the breakaway boom arm. In the event
that the operator hits an unintended obstacle, the breakaway boom arm flexes
backward to reduce the risk of damage to the mower and the boom. Other
strength and maintenance features have been added as well.

Diamond Mowers
Apply herbicide while mowing
 The Wet Blade from Diamond Mowers cuts brush up to 4
inches in diameter and applies herbicide to the cut portion of the stem at
the same time. Centrifugal force disperses the chemical onto the underside
of the blade as it spins. The herbicide stays there until it touches the top
of cut stubble where it is brushed onto the stems as the blade cuts. A
Diamond Boom Mower can be fitted with the Wet Blade system.
