Falcon Evo Forward VFA

Bomford Falcon Evo VFA Arm Mower

he Falcon Evo VFA (Variable Forward Arm) is perfect for contractors and municipal environments, where the added benefits of a forward arm is required to improve visibility.

Features Include:

The Variable Forward Arm incorporates a unique new parallel linkage system that enables the arm to be moved backward and forward parallel to the tractor making hedge trimming more effective and easier to control than ever.

Initially available as an option for the Falcon Evo 6.5T, the design of the parallel linkage system means that in addition to altering the reach of the mowing head, up to 6.5 metres from the tractor, from a position alongside the cab, the mowing head can be moved forward by 1.816 metres, or moved back by 0.903 metres, giving a total traverse of 2.719 metres.

The ability to alter not only the reach of the mowing head, but also its position parallel to the tractor therefore provides the operator with complete flexibility. It will allow him to position the mowing head alongside the tractor that suits him best for optimum visibility, so that whilst the reach is increased, so the head can be moved forward to keep it easily visible.

Also, when an obstacle such as a road sign is reached, this will allow the arm to be accurately maneuvered around the obstacle, leaving a cleaner, more professional finish and giving you a more satisfying verge mowing experience. By avoiding the need to shuttle the tractor backwards and forwards, this increases productivity and reduces driver stress and fatigue.

For operator convenience and ease of use, the unique new Variable Forward Arm design provides all the benefits of a rigidly fixed, mid-mounted machine, but with none of the drawbacks, because being fitted to the tractor using conventional axle brackets; the Falcon VFA can be quickly and easily removed. For transport, the compact folding of the VFA ensures that transport width is below 2.55 metres.

For even greater flexibility, where the mowing head needs to be used right up against the tractor, for instance when working in narrow lanes, a close cutting bracket is available that brings the head right close up to the side of the cab.
