FA Side Boom Mower | Model FASBM 4200 | Cutting Width 42" | 115° Range of Motion | Hydraulic Flow 16 To 27 GPM | For Skid Steers

DESCRIPTION

Reach beyond the limits of conventional mowing equipment with the FA FASBM 4200 Side Boom Mower a revolutionary skid steer attachment engineered to access challenging terrain and hard-to-reach areas that standard mowers simply cannot touch. Designed for municipalities, highway departments, utility contractors, farm operators, and property maintenance professionals, this articulating boom mower delivers an impressive 115-degree range of motion that transforms your skid steer into a versatile, all-terrain vegetation management machine capable of mowing steep embankments, roadside ditches, under guardrails, along fence lines, and countless other difficult-access locations.

The FASBM 4200 redefines what's possible in vegetation control by combining a 42-inch professional cutting deck with an advanced articulating boom system that provides 90 degrees of vertical reach and negative 25 degrees below horizontal allowing you to mow upward on steep slopes, outward along ditches and waterways, downward into drainage areas, and everywhere standard mowing equipment fails. This exceptional range of motion eliminates the need for dangerous manual trimming, reduces labor costs, improves operator safety, and dramatically increases mowing productivity across diverse terrain.

Built with the same rugged quality that defines all FA attachments, this side boom mower features two AR400 hardened steel blades that maintain their cutting edge through tough vegetation and light brush, a robust 1/4-inch steel deck that resists impact damage from rocks and debris, and a precisely engineered hydraulic system optimized for 16-27 GPM flow rates ensuring smooth, reliable operation with compact and mid-size skid steer loaders ranging from 40 to 90 horsepower.

At just 800 pounds, the FASBM 4200 maintains an ideal balance between stability during extended-reach operations and compatibility with smaller skid steer models. The lightweight yet durable construction ensures your machine remains balanced even when the boom is fully extended, providing safe operation on slopes and uneven terrain where heavier attachments would compromise stability and control.

This side boom mower excels in applications where conventional mowing equipment proves ineffective or dangerous: highway and roadway maintenance teams use it to safely mow steep embankments and ditches from the roadway, utility companies maintain vegetation under power lines and along right-of-ways without climbing dangerous slopes, municipal crews trim parks and public spaces with challenging topography, agricultural operations maintain pond banks and irrigation ditches, and property management professionals handle estate grounds, golf courses, and commercial properties with varied terrain features.

The up to 4-inch cutting capacity handles tall grass, weeds, light brush, and overgrown vegetation with ease, making it equally effective for routine maintenance mowing and reclaiming neglected areas. The articulating boom design allows operators to remain in safe, level positions while the cutting deck reaches out and down to tackle slopes that would be hazardous or impossible to mow with traditional equipment or even walk-behind mowers.

Installation is simple and straightforward with the universal skid steer quick-attach mounting system, providing secure connection to all major loader brands including Bobcat, Caterpillar, Case, John Deere, Kubota, and others. Hydraulic quick-connect couplers make attachment and removal fast and effortless, so you can switch between mowing operations and other skid steer tasks without wasting valuable time.

For professionals who face vegetation management challenges beyond the reach of standard equipment whether maintaining miles of highway right-of-way, controlling growth along waterways, managing estate grounds with rolling terrain, or maintaining public spaces with steep slopes the FA FASBM 4200 Side Boom Mower delivers the reach, power, and versatility to complete jobs safely, efficiently, and professionally. Stop risking worker safety on dangerous slopes and start leveraging the mechanical advantage of articulating boom technology.
