Tame Every Bank, Ditch, and Green Belt with the Sibom skid steer boom mower—The High-Performance Side-Arm Solution Built for CAT, Bobcat, and Kubota Loaders

Nothing devours profit faster than a line of shoulder-high brush your team can’t safely reach. Whether you manage municipal roadsides, farm irrigation ditches, or golf-course rough, the traditional fix—parking a compact loader, firing up a hand trimmer, and walking a treacherous slope—burns labor hours and risks injury. Sibom’s answer is a purpose-engineered skid steer boom arm mower that converts the hydraulic horsepower already living in your CAT®, Bobcat®, or Kubota® into a long-reach, precision-cutting, slope mowing boom cutter built for nonstop professional use.


A Multi-Joint Arm That Flexes Like an Excavator but Packs a Flail’s Bite

At the core of this tool lives a multi-joint arm mower system featuring telescopic inner tubing, an articulated boom mower elbow, and a final knuckle that swings 180 degrees. With joystick ease you can side-shift behind the cab, dip the deck 45 degrees down a bank, or raise it to clip hedge tops at highway speed. A simple pin converts the head from right-hand to left-hand use, making the attachment your ultimate side arm mower attachment for ditch bank boom mower passes on either lane.

All pivot pins ride in sealed, maintenance free bearings that devour shock loads while laughing at water intrusion. Those bearings, paired with internally routed, heavy-duty hoses protected by steel guards, define Sibom’s reputation for low-maintenance boom mower mechanics that shrug at daily abuse.


Five Swift-Swap Heads—One Bolt, Endless Jobs

The coupler plate at the boom tip embraces Sibom’s quick-release mower head system. Pull a captive pin, drop the current rotor, and slip on one of five pre-balanced options:

  • A 60 cm flail drum mower head with replaceable flail knives for grass and light brush

  • A rugged 80 cm forestry rotor—the skid steer boom brush cutter—that pulverizes saplings up to 4 inches

  • A reciprocating bar for hedge cutting boom mower finesse around green walls

  • A circular saw blade for tree trimming boom saw duty on low limbs

  • A narrow sewer bank deck that transforms the boom into a ditch cleaning mower head

No wrench gymnastics, no wait-time at the shop. That “load, pin, go” design means one loader can trim hedgerows before lunch, switch to canal banks after lunch, and finish the day mowing pasture edges—all with the same carrier.


High-Torque Hydraulics Deliver a Clean, Safe Cut Every Pass

That relentless torque spins knives fast enough for a clean cut hedge trimmer edge yet slow enough to avoid rock-fling hazards—ideal for operator safety mower compliance on municipal contracts.

A self-contained load sensing valve monitors head speed and commands the boom to raise if rotor RPM sag crosses a threshold, acting as a first-responding auto height control mower for unpredictable terrain. Add Sibom’s optional forward-facing LED sight bar and you enjoy a perfect vision forward boom cutter day or night—no more guessing where knives meet the bark.


Built for Every Bank and Barrier

Need to clear Bermuda runners under guardrails? Rotate the head horizontal, feather the boom down, and use the terrain following cutter skid shoes to ride surface ripples. Want to shear overgrown willows along irrigation canals? Extend the telescopic boom mower seven feet, pivot the knuckle down, and watch the riverbank weed mower deck scalp at water’s edge while your tracks stay on firm ground. Highway agencies hail it as a right-of-way boom mower; ranchers call it their “go-anywhere embankment mower skid steer.”

For more vertical challenges—levees, logging road cutbanks, retention pond shoulders—the same arm angles upward, granting 18 feet of reach to conquer vines on telephone poles or ivy on commercial green walls. One pass turns an OSHA hazard into a trimmed greenbelt ready for inspection.


Heavy-Duty Where It Counts, Lightweight Where It Helps

A durable steel boom frame carries load but uses tapered channel geometry and strategically placed cut-outs to lower mass. Sibom balanced the entire package so a 75-horsepower Kubota loader handles the 60-inch flail without counterweights, yet the same structure survives a 110-horsepower CAT high-flow’s brutal forestry head. That synergy names it both a professional boom mower for contractors and a municipal boom mower for city crews with mixed fleets.

Internal bush cavities run lifetime synthetic grease—true maintenance-free lubrication—and every cylinder pin features dual-lip seals to block ditch muck. The result? A long-distance trimming mower that racks thousands of ditch-line hours before the first shop visit.


Quiet Comfort, Less Vibration, More Acres

Traditional side mowers buck your loader like a rodeo bull once rotor tips load into cattails. Sibom solves this with a rotor flex mowing system: a matched pair of torsion cushions between motor flange and knife drum that absorb impact spikes. Cab shake drops, you cover more ground per day, and your hydraulic seals live longer—fulfilling our promise of a low vibration boom mower that’s kind to machines and humans.


Safety That Doesn’t Slow You Down

  • Forward, side, and top debris curtains catch fling before it leaves the head.

  • A break-away swing neck trips on stump contact, then resets automatically.

  • All controls stay inside the loader—adjust angle, side-shift, or tilt without ever leaving the seat.

That ensemble of design choices grants the tool ASTM and CE safety ratings, making it legal for highway guardrail mower work in states and provinces ready to write tight specs.


Real-World Payback Stories

  • A Georgia DOT gang trimmed 16 road-side miles of Johnson grass in two days, cutting contract hours by 37 percent versus tractor-remote mowers.

  • A California vineyard pruned cover-crop corridors under trellis wire at 6 mph without tangling drip lines, praising the machine as a vineyard boom weed mower that doubled acreage per fuel gallon.

  • A Florida wetland mitigation crew carved cattail borders with the retention pond mower head, operating on a Kubota track loader where wheeled tractors bogged.

  • A Texas rancher replaced annual burns with the forestry flail, reclaiming 40 acres of mesquite in one season and opening new grazing paddocks without bulldozers.

Each testimonial signs the same headline: high efficiency boom mower performance translates to tangible labor and fuel savings.


Faster Service, Fewer Surprises

Daily care equals one grease manifold on the boom pivot and a quick rotor bearing temperature scan (built-in sticker that changes color if heat spikes). Blades flip or swap via one bolt per link. The swing cylinder bleeds itself after every 50 hours—open a grub screw, watch a dribble of air hiss out, retighten. That’s all. In other words, a maintenance-free bearings reputation built on real engineering, not wishful marketing.

Spare parts? Sibom packages a spare flail set and a seal kit in every crate. Store it behind a barn wall and forget about downtime.


Every unit ships pressure-tested, sensors calibrated, hoses capped, and powder-coated Sibom yellow. Uncrate, couple your flat-face fittings, and within ten minutes your CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota loader becomes a high-performance boom mower ready to attack ditches, levees, medians, orchards, sports complexes, and every other green belt that stands between you and the next paid job.

Attach. Swing. Trim. Reclaim—and watch overgrown vegetation disappear at loader speed with Sibom’s skid steer boom mower at the helm.
