EXPAND YOUR

BOUNDARIES

YOU CAN ACHIEVE MORE WITH HERDER

Herder develops and builds world-class, versatile machines. These unique

machines have been produced in the Netherlands since 1947 and have become

a phenomenon. Herder is the bestselling brand globally in the ditch, vegetation

and roadside maintenance market. Herder represents the highest quality, the

best results, a long working life and ergonomically sound working practices.

Herder also stands for innovation. In 2012 Herder received the prestigious EDGE

Innovation Award for the Nivotronic system; an automated system that follows

the contours of the ground and allows the operator to work in comfort.

Running a business means looking to the future and taking risks. Nowadays,

however, running a business also means looking to the past and excluding risks.

Opting for Herder is a safe choice. You are not just choosing a machine that you

can rely on day in and day out, you are also choosing a flexible machine that

can adapt to demanding conditions.

A Herder machine can be used just as easily along the waterside as along a

motorway. The machine will truly stand out in all hard-to-reach areas. Herder

ensures that you are able to work even under the most extreme conditions and

that you have a wide range of options available for all kinds of diverse projects.

You will therefore achieve the best results with Herder, both as a business and

a user.

HERDER INCREASES YOUR OPTIONS

Herder’s area of expertise has expanded from just traditional waterside

applications to management of all green spaces. Herder’s products consist of

a broad basic range of equipment, which includes mowing arms for mounting

on both wide and narrow track tractors. The range also includes self-propelled

ditch cleaning machines and vehicles for cutting and dredging work. You can

further enhance the capability of your Herder machine thanks to a wide variety

of hydraulically powered tools.

The mowing bucket is designed to mow grass and reed-like vegetation in

ditches and watercourses, both above and under the water. The width of the

standard bucket varies from 2.00 to 5.50 metres and even larger buckets can be

constructed upon request. The flail mower is used to maintain wild vegetation.

The advantage of the Herder flail mower is its robust design with a variety of

options: different widths, flails and hydraulic rotating heads. The hedge mower

is used to mow and prune the woody growth of hedges and trees with a

diameter of up to 35 mm. A complete range of stump grinders is available under

the name Herder-Fermex, both self-propelled and powered by a PTO shaft.

They are totally manoeuvrable thanks to their compact design and can be used

in all types of locations. You can find the complete range of hydraulically

powered tools on our website.

MANAGEMENT BEGINS WITH CONTROL

You are sure to agree with us that ditches, roads, verges, parks and other green

areas need to be managed. Finding sustainable solutions must always be the

starting point when laying out areas and managing them.

Management extends the lifespan and ensures an attractive visual image.

Nowadays, ever stricter requirements are being placed on the management of

open spaces. This includes costs, quality and, of course, sustainability. What

you are doing is at least as important as how you do it.

Management is a question of control. Control obviously starts with professional

expertise and knowledge, but it also means having a clear picture of investments

and revenue. When we talk about control, we mean striving for sustainable and

responsible solutions for both mankind and nature. Operators of the equipment

can work in an ergonomic way without extreme demands and as they have the

best possible overview they can perform better and work more safely. In terms

of the natural environment, we continually make use of new applications which

make environmentally-responsible management possible. A good example

of this is the ecological cutter which has been built so that small animals and

plants are spared during cutting, and which fully complies with flora and fauna

legislation.

CUSTOMISATION IS STANDARD

Herder’s strength is that we can develop machines that satisfy the specific

wishes and requirements of our clients. Over the years, more than 20,000

Herder machines and tools have been produced that have been used across an

incredibly diverse range of conditions. Herder machines are used in combination

with almost every make of tractor, self-propelled vehicle and hydraulic crane.

Alongside fitting equipment to agricultural tractors and other vehicles,

customised solutions are increasingly being developed to handle our

clients’ management issues. Over the last few years this has resulted in new

applications for the use of the Herder arm in particular.

In this way, Herder’s area of expertise has expanded from the traditional

waterside applications to management of every kind of open space. A notable

aspect of this is that demand for management of specific green areas is

constantly growing. This can be explained on the one hand by the fact that

Herder machines are being used in more and more countries, and on the other

hand, by the ground-breaking technical applications. We have a solution for

every management issue, because for us, customisation is standard.

BUILT TO PERFORM IN EXTREME CONDITIONS

Herder machines are developed in such a way that they can perform optimally

in all conditions. The well-thought-out and balanced design that has proved

itself in practice is the basis of sound but unique equipment. Furthermore, only

high quality materials are used. This is the case for all components, whether the

steel and the electronic components or the hydraulic parts.

Herder has also chosen to use proven and fully-developed technology. This

means you have the security of a reliable machine that suffers hardly any

breakdowns, and it will therefore not matter whether you are working in cold

or wet conditions or need to carry out work in areas where the weather is

extremely dry and hot.

The design and construction of the tractor provides the driver with the

security of a comfortable cab with ergonomically placed controls and an

optimum view of the works that need to be carried out. This means that the

work is not only safer but will also lead to better results. It goes without saying

that Herder ensures the tools meet the same high standards, meaning you can

rest assured that you are getting a high quality product. Built to perform in

extreme conditions. Those who work with Herder equipment will know exactly

what we mean.

OFTEN IMITATED,NEVER MATCHED

Hydraulically-powered and extremely specialised machines are designed and

produced in an exceptionally well-equipped and spacious manufacturing facility

of approximately 10,000 m². Only high quality and sustainable materials are

used in the production process. Most parts are produced in-house by Herder,

which means we are not only able to offer a consistent quality, but also the very

highest quality. The same requirements are placed on the parts that come from

external suppliers. In order to guarantee quality at every level, the factory has its

own paint shop where paints that cause the least harm to the environment are

applied.

Each and every Herder machine is unique. Each Herder is made by hand by a

team of highly trained technicians. People who have many years of experience

guarantee a consistent quality. When you opt for Herder, you always get

a machine where every last detail has been perfected and that has the very

highest level of finish. A machine you will be able to use for many years without

any problems, but also a machine with a high residual value. You are always

guaranteed the very best quality. This is also true when you select a Herder

tool. All of these aspects mean that Herder machines are often imitated, but

never matched.

Sustainability and reliability are words that are inextricably linked to working

with a Herder machine. Original parts extend the working life and ensure that

your machine will continue to satisfy all relevant legal standards. By allowing

the maintenance and replacement of parts to be taken care of by recognised

dealers, you can feel confident that your Herder will continue to perform in

all conditions. This way, breakdowns can be avoided as far as possible. And
