Adequate mowing is required for maintenance of the shore vegetation of meadows and higher growing plants in order to control the vegetation. To prevent the crop from being carried away by floods and to reduce the nutrient content of the soil, the crop is transported away. In case of higher growing plants, regular mowing prevents excessive growth of shrubs. Areas already covered with bushes are made arable again by flailing.

Ecology
Conservation of biodiversity at water bodies is achieved through soil-conserving cultivation. REFORM provides exceptionally ecological solutions for a wide range of requirements.
The lightweight design of REFORM vehicles protects the soil. The turf of vegetation remains intact even on wet soil.
The use of the latest engine generations as well as bio hydraulic oils preserve the environment. The high efficiency of travel drive and PTO ensures maximum power at low emissions.
Dyke Management Budenheim (DE)
“We are responsible for the maintenance of flood protection facilities with a total dyke length of 120 km. The REFORM fleet – we have over 10 Metracs and 4 Mulis – allows us to perform all activities such as mulching, mowing, harrowing, swathing, raking and transporting while conserving the soil. We have everything from a single source, which is tried and tested in the adaptation of attachments and also for servicing and repairs.”

“The Netherlands have always been shaped by the water. The total area of the Netherlands is 41,500 km², of which 7,700 km² are covered by water. The 3 major rivers are the Rhine, the Meuse and the Scheldt. They flow westward, branch out several times and finally flow into the North Sea. We are proud that for 30 years we have been the exclusive REFORM partner for the Netherlands. In REFORM, we have a strong partner for mowing technology at our side.”
