Note: For Boom Mower’s on a Skidsteer the dealer should price in about a days worth of time for set-up and fine tuning controls.
This should be doubled if a unit is going on a Bobcat skidsteer as the Bobcat skidsteers can come preprogramed to shut down high flow if the AUX control buttons are activated.
