180 cm sweeper for a tractor with a basket, a watering container and a side brush 4FARMER

The sweeper, as the name suggests, is designed to remove dirt from surfaces such as roads, squares, sidewalks, areas covered with asphalt, paving stones or concrete. Sweepers will find their application in the municipal, agricultural and construction industries. In addition, they can be used in winter after dismantling the basket as a snow blower in order to get rid of the layer of snow. These are very versatile machines, facilitating cleaning, allowing for effective and quick work. On the market, we can find sweepers dedicated to a tractor (3-point linkage) or a forklift .

The 180 cm sweeper with a 4FARMER basket is attached to the tractor via the rear three-point linkage Cat I and Cat II and is driven by a power take-off shaft (PTO). The working width of this model is 180 cm.

How does a sweeper work?

The cleaning mechanism is a roller on which dense polypropylene bristles are placed. It is driven by power transmitted from the tractor. The sweeper is equipped with a basket placed behind the roller. The roller rotates, removing dirt, collecting it in the basket. This container is opened hydraulically using a hydraulic actuator (hydraulic outputs from the tractor are required).

A machine for special tasks.

Additionally, the sweeper is expanded with a water tank and a side brush. By choosing such a set, when working with a sweeper with a water tank, we reduce the amount of floating dust and dirt. Water spraying also allows for more effective removal of dirt from the surface.

The side brush is placed on an adjustable arm, it sweeps dirt from surfaces and nooks, where the sweeper shaft cannot reach. Most often these are places near curbs, walls, shelves. The side brush is mounted on the right side of the sweeper .

• The side brush bristles are made of two types of material - polypropylene bristles and wire bristles,
• The diameter of the side brush is 50 cm,
• Possibility to adjust the brush setting in three planes.

A noteworthy advantage is the reaction of the brush when it encounters an obstacle - the brush retracts and then returns to its original position after bypassing the obstacle. A properly set side brush (brush front) should be slightly tilted forward. Properly setting the height and angle of the side brush will increase the effectiveness of sweeping and reduce excessive brush wear.

The effective work of the tractor sweeper is ensured by the guide wheels, which allow for the proper adjustment of the sweeper to the surface on which we are working. It should be remembered that too much pressure of the bristles on the cleaned surface will cause excessive wear.
