<p><strong>Intuitive control systems</strong><br />
The boom mower is controlled using an advanced unit inside the vehicle cabin. This unit includes a joystick for operating the crane arms and working tools, along with a color display for controlling mower relief, floating position, and extra functions.</p>
<p>Depending on the terrain which is being maintained, and user preferences, there are two control systems available:</p>
<p><strong>SelectMotion<br />
</strong>Selective proportional control makes it easy to operate the mower&#8217;s boom arm and working tool on tough terrains. When you move the joystick, it activates a specific hydraulic cylinder, meaning you need to move the joystick more to position the boom arm where you’d like it.</p>
<p><strong>TotalMotion<br />
</strong>Fully proportional control is designed for challenging terrains with obstacles, requiring constant maneuvering of the boom arms. Using the joystick enables swift adjustments to the boom arm position by moving multiple cylinders with a single joystick motion.</p>
