Choosing the best tractor for boom mowers

The tractor is the most important element of a professional mowing set in road maintenance, forestry work and land drainage. The choice of its parameters is of fundamental importance. The most common mistake is buying the tractor and the mowing set – a boom mower with different heads – separately.

The most important parameters are:

  • tractor weight,
  • tractor power,
  • transmission with creeper gears,
  • wheelbase,
  • tyre width,

Responsible selection of the tractor and boom mower also depends on the type of work and the environment in which it will operate.  It is worth investing in a tractor manufactured in a European country. Importing spare parts from Asian countries is often the factor that grounds the entire mowing set for weeks.

ROLMEX offers proven tractors from various manufacturers. We take full responsibility for the connection and compatible operation of the tractor with the boom mower and its working heads, according to the individual requirements of the customer.

The New Holland T5 tractor shown in the photos, together with a ROLMEX boom mower and the PR80h ditch-cleaning head, was delivered to one of the water authorities in the Greater Poland region.
