I can't find much info on floating boom Richy - what's it for / what's it do??

I guess it literally does what it says on the tin - Allows the boom to 'float' so you can follow the contours of the ground. Used similar on excavators amd thought it would be handy. Good for a flail or mower. Probably work well with the leveller and various buckets.

I've been chatting with Andrew at exac one. I'm working on another flail plan.

What he means is as you lift the boom it stays at the same angle in relation to the ground.

Thanks. I have the bull bars on my 7.3s which weigh in around 50kg. I am trying to work on a way of getting more weight on the rear (wheel water ballast in is still on the list).

I don't think so, that what the self levelling bucket feature does? The floating boom basically adds minimal downward pressure to the boom so it follows the surface. Ie you have the mower with wheels and turn on float and the implement can move up and down with bumps and ruts.
