Your solution: not just machines for ditch and roadside management

Herder develops and builds versatile top-quality machines and is the best-selling brand in the ditch and verge maintenance market worldwide. For many years, the brand has been known for its high level of quality, efficient and high-performance machines, long life and ergonomic working. The Herder factory was founded in 1947. The company quickly made its name and fame with the widely known patented unique cutting basket that saw the light of day in 1964. At the request of customers, further investments were then made in the development and production of new machines such as mowing arms and planting maintenance machines.

Plant maintenance machines

Although Herder is best known for its roadside maintenance machines, its range is much broader. Herder also produces machines for plantation maintenance. With the acquisition of Fermex a few years ago, the range was further expanded to include stump cutters. Today, you can find in the Herder range tools for pruning branches and rough vegetation, shearing hedges, cutting trees and removing stumps... In short, everything you need for the maintenance of your plantations. 

Tools for pruning

Herder offers several machines for trimming. The hedge trimmer is suitable for cutting and reducing woody vegetation, such as hedges and trees. The clippings are cut and shredded after which they are "blown" back into the hedge; this looks tidy and provides natural fertilization. The hedge trimmer comes standard with a triple rotating head. This allows you to easily mow in all positions and easily reach all sides of the hedge. 

In the same range we find the hedge trimmer; it is used for the maintenance of hedges, tree rows and road planting for example along freeways. 

Herder also offers two types of circular saws: the single and the multiple. The single circular saw is easy to mount on excavators or a Herder mowing arm, making it usable in all difficult places. So there is no need to use a chainsaw on a ladder or aerial work platform to remove hard-to-reach branches from trees or shrubs. The multiple circular saw has multiple saw blades and is ideally suited for capping shrubs and rows of trees.

Finally, Herder also offers various loppers. The loppers are suitable for trimming wood edges and woody vegetation with branches up to Ø 10 cm. The cutting shears are stump-available for Herder mowing arms and various excavators, and come standard with a double mechanical turning head.

Tools for shrubby vegetation

The forestry mower is particularly suitable for mowing rough vegetation such as undergrowth, scrub, and small to medium stumps. This mower comes standard with a heavy-duty hydraulic folding front end to allow for better entry of higher scrub. For safety, the forestry mower is equipped with a heavy-duty chain guard at the rear. Also, the hydraulic motor is protected by a very robust shield. In addition, the forestry mower is equipped with rotating chisels. These chisels can be rotated three times, tripling the service life. This makes this implement very economical in use.

Herder-Fermex

The Herder-Fermex range includes stump cutters and tree trimmers. The stump grinder or stump cutter is suitable for milling away tree stumps (stumps) and roots growing above ground. This machine is equipped with the standard Fermex chisel system. The chisel is equipped with three cutting edges, which can be used alternately and last longer. The powerful chisels of the stump grinder mill away the stump, allowing a new tree to be planted where the old tree stood and the stump no longer forms an obstacle. Herder offers a complete range of tillers for crane or boom mounting, for tractor or self-propelled machines on wheels or tracks.

The tree trimmer is suitable for cutting shrubs, branches and even entire trees. Here, two robust gripping arms guarantee a firm grip on the cut material and the cut material can be deposited in a controlled manner.
