During a challenging test run, the newly configured mulching and suction solution with the REFORM Boki 1252 as the carrier vehicle impressively demonstrated its performance capabilities. Despite the most adverse conditions – such as wet, tall vegetation – the combination of front mulcher, suction device and Boki carrier vehicle worked reliably and efficiently.
What was tested?
The focus of the test was on trying out the following components:
- REFORM Boki 1252: Compact implement carrier with high payload and four-wheel steering
- Suction device: Combination of grass leaf suction (GLS) container and a powerful suction combination
- MÜTHING MU-COLLECT VARIO 160 front mulcher: Robust and manoeuvrable mulching machine with suction function
This configuration was used for the first time in this form – with truly impressive results.
Long-standing cooperation
The cooperation with MÜTHING, an experienced supplier of innovative mulching and maintenance technology, has been in place for many years. The first-ever combination of a MÜTHING MU-COLLECT VARIO 160 front mulcher with the REFORM Boki and the suction system used by REFORM represents another milestone in this partnership. The aim was to create an efficient, robust system suitable for municipal use for maintenance work on areas that are difficult to access.
Advantages of mulching with suction:
- Compared to mowing, mulching finely shreds the material, allowing more volume to fit into the suction container and increasing the user's productivity.
- The suction effect of the mulcher reliably collects leaves and small branches, ideal for later composting and a clean surface.
- The MU-Vario system allows a continuously adjustable degree of shredding to be selected depending on requirements thanks to a variably installed cutting bar.
- The standard ejector plate allows quick switching between mulching and suction and classic mulching in just a few simple steps. In addition, a wear insert fitted as standard ensures the longevity of the mulcher.
The combination of the REFORM Boki 1252 and MÜTHING MU-COLLECT VARIO 160 front mulcher is unbeatable:
- High manoeuvrability of the Boki thanks to four-wheel steering and compact design
- Large payload of the Boki for efficient work without frequent empty runs
- Easy handling of the Boki and the Müthing front mulcher thanks to compact design
- Narrow working width of the tried-and-tested front mulcher (1.6 m) for use on narrow or winding areas
- High safety standards: All Müthing mulching and maintenance equipment has been subjected to a stone impact test in accordance with the ISO WD17101-2 machinery directive. The safety distances are only 8 m to the front and rear, and 2 m to the right and left.
- Insect protection & promotion of biodiversity: The optional insect saver on the MU-Collect VARIO 160 reliably protects insects and microorganisms. The suction of the Boki promotes the depletion of green areas. This inhibits nitrogen-loving plants and increases biodiversity.
Conclusion: An unbeatable combination for mulching and vacuuming
The combination of REFORM Boki and MÜTHING MU-COLLECT VARIO 160 takes municipal work to a new level:
✅ Efficient thanks to maximum utilisation of the loading space
✅ Safe thanks to tested technology with the highest safety standards
✅ Flexible use – even under the most difficult conditions
For municipalities, building yards and service providers looking for a future-proof, functional and durable solution, this combination offers everything that professional use requires.
