Bomford as a company has a long history of innovation and durability which started off in the late 1800`s initially developing labour saving road building machinery after the Napoleonic wars, in the 1940`s Bomford  went on to develop the first arm mower or hedge cutter which they are better known as in Ireland. Innovation is something Bomford still keeps at the core of their business today with the design team amassing over 200 years of experience collectively which they apply to each and every product.

Industry experts will be on hand at the events to answer any technical questions customers may have. Customers will also be encouraged to get behind the wheel and try out the machines in “real world” scenarios which will highlight the Bomford build quality, ease of operation and efficiency to new customers not already familiar with the brand.

 

Hedge cutters

Bomford will have a specially selected showcase of their most popular hedge cutter range on show at the event starting off with the Kestrel Evo “E” model which is a hedge and verge mower that offers a 5 metre reach and professional features in a robust design while still offering value for money. The Kestrel Evo “S” which offers all the same features as the “E” but with increased reach and options will also be on display. The next step in the hedge cutter ladder is the Hawk model which has an uprated hydraulic drive system of 104 litres with an additional option of 125 litres will also be working at the event. The Hawk boasts 5.4, 6 or 6.5m reach capabilities coupled with a 94 degree slew making it one of the most versatile and manoeuvrable hedge cutters on the market. Topping off the hedge cutter display will be the Buzzard model which is designed for the professional user and contractors. The Buzzard features a reach option of 7.25m or 8m and as you would expect, the Buzzard comes as standard with fully proportional controls and an oil cooler. Customers can further fine tune the Buzzard to suit their needs with an extensive range of extras such as a 1.2m or 1.5m cutting heads.

Turbo Mowers

Flailbot

Bomford`s flagship machine, the Flailbot will also be making an appearance at the roadshow giving customers the opportunity to experience the fully remote controlled Flailbot which was designed to keep the operator away from dangerous areas and safe from potential hazards. The Flailbot can operate on slopes up to 55 degrees thanks to its clever extendable tracks which can be widened by up to 500mm improving its stability. The tracks can themselves be customised to work in various conditions ensuring the Flailbot stays working where others would fail. Under the hood a powerful 40hp engine delivers power to the twin-track grip system ensuring excellent manoeuvrability and performance. At the business end the Flailbot can be fitted with various flexible tool attachment options further adding to its versatility and productivity.
