Eterra Raptor Boom Mower and Side-Work Attachment System
Description
The Raptor Boom Mower Attachment system for Skid Steer and Compact Track Loaders is an industrial grade side-reach system of mowing attachments. These attachments are compact and easy to transport while providing exceptional cutting capacity and reach for a skid steer boom mower. For operators looking for a top-of-the-line mowing system, the Raptor combined with any of Eterra's 3 mower head options is the ticket. The different mower head styles allow you to customize your unit to best suit your needs whether that's a more aggressive cut capacity or longer reach and cutting width. The Raptor Boom features a 10' reach from the center of the quick attach, and combined with a mower head attachment averages 14' of reach plus the lift of your machine's arms.

Custom designed hydraulic block is specifically engineered and manufactured for eTerra in the USA.  This is not an off the shelf pieced together control.  It has all of the functions and controls handled internally meaning you can adjust the flow to the head, pressure to the head and bleed out for the controls all on the block. This makes for very stable and easy to operate controls. This has taken us many years to perfect and you will notice the difference if you have run other hydraulic controlled implements. This is not your average mower. Eterra and Skid Steer Solutions are not your average companies.

This sickle mowing attachment is robust and well made. Performed just like the video demonstates. It has already paid for itself in the money we saved from having the mowing work contracted outside. It's obvious a lot of thought went into the design of this efficient and flexible attachment. Service was impressive. When one of the hydraulic couplings sent for installation proved to be the wrong size, a replacement came overnight... no questions asked.

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to write a review on this Skid Steer Boom Mower attachment, we really appreciate it - that and of course your business. You're right... A LOT of thought has gone into this design and it's actually taken Eterra about 3 different models and a decade to get it to where it is today. It's not cheap but it is strong, reliable, efficient and effective. Glad to hear it served the purpose, got the job done and paid for itself. If you ever need blades or parts or what have you, we are just a call or message away: 866-966-2538 or sales@skidsteersolutions.com. All the best to you this New Year, Jorden - Skid Steer Solutions

There was a small learning curve getting used to the equipment and dialing it in for our machine but, we love our 7ft sickle on the Raptor boom arm. We use it for trimming/mowing our lake dams. We also keep our back roads trimmed and clear of small tree branches that would scratch a vehicle. Thanks SkidSteer Solutions.

Hey Mike! Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. It definitely takes a couple of hours to really get the hang of it as there are multiple operations going on simultaneously between the attachment and the machine. Glad to hear you have found lots of uses for the Raptor Boom Arm. Thank you for choosing Skid Steer Solutions, -Jorden

The Raptor is working fantastic. It took a a few trials to get used to the controls and multitasking the operation but eventually it became second knowledge. I’m more than satisfied with the Raptor boom mower for my bocat T770. Thanks skid steer, Jorden

Live in a retirement community with a small golf course. Lots of hard to get at mowing, trees to trim, and hedges to smooth out. Works great on my 5610 Toolcat.
