Ecochopper

The benchmark in ecological verge management – with respect for nature, soil and biodiversity

The Herder Ecochopper is specifically developed for sustainable and ecological mowing with a mowing arm. This machine is designed to protect flora and fauna while maintaining operational efficiency and ease of use. Its unique design eliminates suction, allowing seeds to remain in the soil and enabling natural vegetation to regenerate. Insects and small animals are largely spared during the mowing process.

The specially designed ground-following roller minimises soil disturbance by smoothly adapting to terrain irregularities without damaging soil structure or underground fauna. Litter remains on the ground, making it easier to remove without needing to enter the machine. Optionally, the Ecochopper can be equipped with a scent curtain that deters insects during mowing.

With its low power requirement, the Ecochopper contributes to reduced fuel consumption and lower CO₂ emissions. This makes the machine both ecologically responsible and economically attractive for municipalities and contractors aiming for sustainable verge management in areas where flail mowing is not permitted.

The Herder Ecochopper is officially certified with the Kleurkeur quality mark, issued by De Vlinderstichting and Groenkeur. This certification confirms that the machine meets the highest ecological standards for professional mowing and nature management.

The Ecochopper is the ideal solution for contractors, municipalities and land managers committed to truly sustainable verge management.

The Ecochopper has several advantages:

• Kleurkeur-certified for ecological mowing according to Groenkeur standards
• No suction: protects insects, seeds and small animals
• Minimal soil disturbance thanks to ground-following roller
• Low power requirement = reduced fuel use and lower emissions
• Suitable for areas where flail mowing is not allowed
• Optional: insect-friendly scent curtain
