Maschio PALMA Series Boom Mowers


16', 19.5' and 23' rear-mounted land-clearing machine with arm. Ideal for clearing banks, ditches, lawns and slopes. Suitable for small-medium sized farms and farm-contractors. For continuous heavy-duty service.

1) High-strength frame with class 2 power lift hitch 2.
2) Lift truck couplings to facilitate movement when machine is hitched to the tractor.
3) Pump in class 3 high-effi ciency cast iron (PALMA 500-600-720 T).
4) Ultra-compact two-way hydraulic motor in cast iron with drainage.
5) Coupling with 2 taps for pumps on independent axis; Superior class gear pump (PALMA 720 T).

Floating head and first arm with over-center valve to facilitate the operator’s work on rugged ground. Improved safety, because the first arm moves besides the head.

6) Heat exchanger (OPT) built into the tank cowl.
7) Top quality hydraulic pipes, extremely resistant to wear and bursting, protected by metal casings and by a self-winding shockproof, splash-proof coil made of plastic material.
8) Extremely elastic materials used for the arms with a high yield point.

Rotor with 8 mm thick Y-shaped blades installed on clevis with 14 mm fastening bolt-on 2 welded supports (highly flexible and optimum shredding action). The rotor does not unbalance.

Heat exchanger (optional) built into the tank cover. Improves the efficiency of the hydraulic components. Machine pre-engineered for exchanger connection.

Hydropneumatic shock-absorber on the rotation mechanism to protect against obstructions, with automatic return (nitrogen accumulator).

High-strength frame, pre-engineered for 3-point hitching to a class 2 power lift and additional sloping hitches for linkages that fit on to the tractor’s top link fork.

Dump valve allowing 90° reversal. Activates after the nitrogen accumulator. Guarantees improved safety.

-Easy and safe control of the cylinder movements
thanks to hydraulic control valve with circuit in
parallel with the 140 bar maximum pressure valve
and 2.5 meter length control cable to position
at the operator’s side.
- Safety lever to prevent the rotor from reverse spin

Joystick is optional.
