Read articles →This one is a niche-application deep dive rather than a general M6-111 review: it focuses entirely on the TerrainKing KXB1800 boom mower setup, explaining the Kubota-Alamo performance-matching certification, the front-mounted hydraulic pump and cooling needed to run it, the six joystick-controlled boom functions, mower head options (flail vs rotary), R14 road tires, and the dealership's install process. Best for municipal or roadside mowing buyers evaluating boom-mower compatibility, not general tractor shoppers.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment dealership channel, so it's a sales-and-service-oriented walkaround promoting their own installation work and product line.
It means Alamo and Kubota's engineering departments worked together to certify the boom mower is appropriate for that tractor, a step beyond typical manufacturer-implement compatibility.
It has six hydraulic functions controlled by a multi-function joystick in the cab: base rotation, two boom segments, head rotation, mower door, and the drum.
Flail heads, often with heavier knives for woody material and a blade for cutting grass, or traditional single-blade rotary mower heads, with flail heads becoming more popular.
R14 tires have a center line down the middle and ride better on roads than R1 tires, which do not wear well or ride smoothly for highway mowing applications.
