About this file
This document is a product brochure for Bush Hog's Rear-Mounted Boom Mowers, specifically the PT Series and RMB Series, which are agricultural and municipal maintenance equipment. The brochure is published by Bush Hog, located in Selma, Alabama, and provides detailed specifications for various boom mower models designed for tractors. While the document is not a state or local contract, it appears to be marketing literature for potential government and commercial equipment procurement.
The brochure details multiple boom mower models with varying capabilities, including the PT5 Powertrim-2 and RMB series (RMB1445-1, RMB1660-1, RMB1865-1, RMB1880F, and RMB2080F). These mowers are designed for diverse applications such as trimming trees, cutting brush, mowing behind guardrails, and maintaining landscapes. The models range in reach from 12' to 20' and require tractors with minimum horsepower between 15-80 HP, depending on the specific model. Different cutting head options are available, including flail heads for grass and light brush, rotary heads for heavier brush, and sickle bar cutters for hedge trimming. The mowers feature hydraulic breakaway mechanisms, adjustable front guards, and some models offer advanced features like variable forward reach and Power Slew rotation capabilities.

PT SERIES | RMB SERIES
Rear-Mounted Boom Mowers
Extend your reach and productivity!
The ultimate in versatility, Bush Hog®’s rugged rear-mounted boom mowers are designed to trim trees, brush, or hedges and mow behind guardrails, over fences, down embankments, and around ponds.
With four models reaching from 12' – 18' from the tractor centerline, there’s almost no limit to what you can accomplish. They’re easy to operate and built to provide years of dependable service. Two models reaching 18' – 20', offer forward reach capability, allowing the operator to bring the arm and mower head from behind the rear tire to alongside the tractor cab for improved visibility and mowing efficiency.
RMB1808F and RMB2080F units feature forward reach capability.

RMB Series Features
• Multiple cutting head options allow you to fit an RMB Mower to your particular application. A rotary cutter head capable of cutting brush up to 4 inches" in diameter is available for use on the larger RMB1660, RMB1865(E), RMB1880F, and RMB2080F models.
Flail heads capable of mowing either grass or brush up to 2" in diameter, or sickle bar cutters that specialize in trimming hedges and mowing round out the cutting head options.
• RMB models fit tractors as small as 45 HP and weighing a minimum 4,410 lb. Forward Reach models fit tractors 80 HP and up weighing a minimum of 8,800 lb.
• Hydraulic breakaway mechanisms on all RMB models break up and away to allow you to clear most obstacles encountered while mowing.
• RMB1660, RMB1865, RMB1880F,
and RMB2080F units offer a Power Slew feature that allows the operator to rotate the cutter 100° to the rear, thereby permitting the cutting out of corners and mowing within the tractor’s width.
• Variable Forward Reach RMB Mowers are ideal for demanding continuous duty agricultural, roadside maintenance, and municipality use. The RMB1880F and RMB2080F models allow the operator to maneuver the mower head along the range from behind the tractor wheel to alongside the cab for improved visibility, functionality and efficiency.
• All flail heads on the RMB models come standard with an adjustable front guard and front flap kit to protect from thrown objects, along with a built-in “wire trap” feature to keep loose wires from becoming entangled in the rotor.
• RMB models offer optional accessories such as a lift float kit and skid kit on certain models.
