Skid Loader-Mounted Mower System HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Mowers 38 Jordan Leib with Eterra Attachments LLC recently contacted FARM SHOW about the company’s new skid loader-mounted RT-20 boom mower The 48-in rotary mower can rotate up to 180 degrees making it ideal for heavy roadside clearing
Other mower heads available with the Raptor system include a 36-in flail mower 5 7 and 9-ft sickle heads and a string weed trimmer
The boom arm is operated using a high-tech wireless controller A built-in linear actuator is used to control the swing breakaway and park A hydraulic rotary actuator acts as a breakaway to protect the boom arm and mower head from damage in case of any contact and the advanced hose routing protects the hydraulic circuits
“The history of this skid loader-mounted mower system goes back more than a decade with working models marking each new innovation ” says Leib “In 2014 we redesigned the system to include the rotary mower head It lets you mow straight ahead or up to 22 ft out to the side Or you can use it to mow brush as high as the loader arm can reach ”
He says their biggest customers have been park management associations universities off-road clubs government municipalities/townships and even the U S military but some farmers have also bought them
According to Leib the biggest selling point of the Raptor system is its versatility and cost efficiency “You can do a variety of tasks such as roadside brush clearing maintaining fence lines ditch clearing and more eliminating the need for multiple mowers And you have a great view in front of you The wireless controls are easy to operate and when you’re done using one attachment you can disconnect it in less than a minute and pick up a new one ”
The RT-20 boom arm without attachments retails for about $18 995
