Diamond Mowers Redesigns Mid-Mount Boom Mower for Next-Level Control, Visibility and Roadside Performance
Diamond Mowers, a leading manufacturer of mowing, mulching, and brush cutting equipment for the municipal, skid-steer, and excavator markets, has reengineered its Mid-Mount Boom Mower to deliver control, comfort, and confidence for roadside maintenance professionals.
“This evolution is about putting power and protection directly into the hands of the people who keep our roads safe,” said Nate Cleveringa, vice president of engineering and product management at Diamond Mowers. “Every inch of this boom mower was shaped by real feedback from municipal operators and technicians. We’ve addressed their pain points and translated their input into a safer profile with smarter controls and thoughtful enhancements that help crews do more with less effort and less risk.”
Compact footprint, maximum confidence
The reimagined Mid-Mount Boom Mower features a narrower profile that significantly reduces the machine’s overall width without compromising stability. By repositioning the hydraulic tank to the front left of the cab and adding an axle stabilizer that reduces the amount of counterweights needed, Diamond has created a more streamlined attachment that minimizes lane encroachment during operation. In fact, the mower system now sits within inches of the tractor’s tire on the traffic-facing side, an intentional adjustment that gives operators more breathing room and drivers more peace of mind.
“This upgrade gives crews more confidence when working near traffic, on tight roadways, or in confined roadside corridors,” Cleveringa noted. “It’s a machine built for the realities of municipal mowing.”
Enhanced operator control and diagnostics
Precision meets performance in the Mid-Mount Boom Mower with upgraded excavator-quality components, customizable joystick sensitivity, and a Smart Screen interface. Operators can adjust boom responsiveness in real time with the flip of a switch by speeding up for open-area coverage or dialing down for careful work around signs and fences. Fleet managers can also restrict speed settings and limit access to advanced controls for less experienced operators.
“This is the first and only mid-mount boom mower in the industry to offer this level of adaptability and control,” said Cleveringa. “Whether you’re fine-tuning boom speed around a light pole or gearing up performance for wide-open stretches, the responsiveness is instant and tailored to the operator. It’s fingertip precision that empowers productivity.”
Additionally, the Smart Screen provides rapid diagnostics and access to system data. This allows operators to identify and resolve issues in minutes instead of hours, which reduces downtime and enables faster service and support.
Innovations that protect equipment and people
With the hydraulic drive disengage option, operators can shut off the mower when not in use to help reduce wear, fuel consumption, and heat buildup. In emergency situations or when servicing, the system can be disengaged at the push of a button for added safety.
Additional built-in safeguards reinforce Diamond’s commitment to operator safety and uptime. These include:
• Relocated Hydraulic Cooler – moved to the rear of the tractor for unobstructed headlight visibility in low-light conditions.
• Hydraulic Level Sensor – alerts the operator and disables mower and boom controls if oil levels are too low, reducing the risk of cavitation and preventing equipment damage.
• Premium Hydraulic Valve – engineered to resist contamination and ensure smoother, more responsive boom movement.
“Our mission is to eliminate as many pain points as possible – from overheating components to blind spots that compromise safety – and provide a smarter way to work,” Cleveringa explained.
Built for roadside demands
Whether clearing highway shoulders, ditch lines, utility corridors, or public park perimeters, Diamond Mowers’ redesigned Mid-Mount Boom Mower is built to thrive in municipal and commercial applications. From real-time boom control to advanced diagnostics and safety-first features, it delivers durable, precision performance for the professionals who maintain the nation’s infrastructure.
“This new and improved mower represents a thoughtful evolution in boom mowing,” said Cleveringa. “It’s purposefully built to be a partner in the field for the pros who keep our roads open and our communities connected.”
