Estate mangers and golf course managers often cite the Wiedenmann Super 500 as their favourite ‘go to’ machine.
According to Wiedenmann UK, it is often the first machine on the wish list of professionals when they change their place of work.
“Once you’ve had a Super 500 or a Super 600 and move elsewhere there’s nothing as versatile or as hard working to take its place,” said a spokesman.“We get several calls each year from bereft customers looking to add it to their new fleets as soon as possible.
“They know by investing in this one machine they can cover offmany duties. Depending on what attachments are employed you can use it for sweeping, leaf or core collection, for verticutting, flail mowing, the list goes on.
"Even in a hard frost or in rain, it still powers through work letting your team crack on maintaining efficiency."
The natural habitat of the Super 500 is park grounds, extensively maintained areas, ecological meadows, sports grounds and golf courses but it comes into its own anywhere where there is contoured turf.
For golf courses in particular it is perfect for undulations, or traditional ‘ridge and furrow’, the Super 500 follows contours easily and produces a consistent height of cut, whether scarifying or flail mowing.
Indeed, along with the Wiedenmann Terra Rake, the Super 500 is integral to literally dozens of rough management programmes countrywide.
In any of its modes it produces a high airflow which ensures collected material is well compacted. Its high performance vacuum packs the 2500 litre hopper every time, leaving a professional clean finish.
The airflow of the exhaust is driven downwards minimising noise and dust, important if working in noise sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals or residential areas.
A 2.1 metre high dump facility makes for easy tipping into bins and trailers.
The container lifts via a parallel system, with the hopper rotating, allowing the hopper to completely discharge collected material.
The Super 500 has a 2.5 m³ tank while the Super 600 a 4.5 m³ tank.
