Mowing boat

The mowing boat in water and landscape maintenance

While the necessity of regular mowing in agricultural work on fields and pastures is taken for granted, the mowing of waters with mowing boats is much less firmly anchored in the public consciousness. Nevertheless, water maintenance with mowing boats plays an important role in landscape conservation, flood protection and environmental protection.

The interplay of ecological, agricultural and public interests - for example in terms of flood protection - makes waterway maintenance with mowing boats a challenging task. In contrast to agricultural mowing, the aim here is not to collect and secure the mown material, but to maintain or improve the condition of the watercourse in a targeted manner. The specific objectives to be achieved with the work of the mowing boat always depend on the local conditions and can vary accordingly.

As a traditional manufacturer of oscillating mowing technology, Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik is also active in the development and production of cutting units for special applications such as in mowing boats. ESM's professional technology is specially designed for difficult and demanding applications such as water maintenance. ESM's decades of experience in the development of professional cutting units is a major advantage in this area. Mowing machines from Conver, Berky and other well-known manufacturers are equipped with cutting units from ESM.

What are the special requirements for mowing boats?

Mowing boats used for cutting and mowing plants and vegetation must be equipped with high-quality and robust components. This is the only way to carry out the demanding work process in the water with as few interruptions as possible. Boats with a mowing function are used in ditches, lakes and rivers where vegetation needs to be controlled. In flowing waters, plants and impurities can obstruct the flow of water, impairing the function of the watercourse. In addition, excessive algae growth in lakes can cause hazards and impairments for swimmers. Rivers and lakes can also become ecologically unbalanced due to heavy plant growth.

The "biduxES" double blade from ESM fulfils all the requirements of a professional cutting unit for a mowing boat. Mowing boats with components from ESM are used wherever professional cutting of aquatic plants and algae is required. A mowing boat with an ESM cutting unit reliably masters the difficult mowing situation in the water. This is why the "biduxES" double blade is often used as a cutting unit in this area.

Areas of application for mowing boats

Thanks to the wide range of attachment options, a mowing boat can be used for very different types of work in the water. Mowing boats are equipped with cutting units, mowing baskets, haulm lifting devices and other tools. Various mowing boats are designed like amphibious vehicles and can also be used outside of water in wetlands. The size and drive type of the mowing boat is selected depending on the intended use. Which booms, cutting units or working tools are attached to the mowing boat depends on the type of water body and the work to be carried out. Flexible attachment options on the drives or boats are an advantage here. Used mowing machines for bodies of water are an alternative to buying a new one after proper maintenance and care. Here too, the Conver and Berky brands are often represented on the market with used models.
