Wiedenmann UK’s ‘Go Big’ Super 500 & Super 600 sweeper collectors are great in tough situations.
Billed as 4-in-1 machines, they sweep leaves, flail mow, fraise mow, scarify and collect depending on which implements are employed.
Frequently, estates managers say their Super 500 or 600s remain attached to tractors from autumn to springtime, literally in use every day, even working in freezing temperatures.
An airflow path ensures the 2,500 litre or 4,500 litre hoppers are tightly packed with leaves, grass or other debris, minimising the number of times they need to be emptied.
The container lifts via a parallel system to a height of 2.1 m while rotating the hopper to completely discharge collected material. The high dump facility means they can work with all sorts of trailers, maximising productivity and saving time and fuel with far fewer journeys.
The class leading H & S features on the Wiedenmann are also noteworthy, beginning with its floating head which follows contours and allows sweeping without changing implements. The parallelogram guided suspension helps the operator find an optimal working position. The fully floating head allows for ideal ground adaptation so takes uneven ground in its stride. Next, flotation tyres with a large contact area and low ground pressure, protect the surface together with a pair of anti-scalp rollers. An ecofriendly chute, guides dust toward the ground, reducing dust to the operator and the surrounding area.
For golf courses there is an optional kit which fits to the front roller and replaces two tyres, enabling the multi-function head to follow the contours even more accurately.
A super contour kit assists those with deep ridges and furrows. An additional back roller with additional anti scalp rollers fits inside the rotor drum brings the anti-scalp wheels even closer to the centre of the rotor drum. Finally, you can opt to have all hydraulic functions operated by electric controls from the tractor seat.
