3-Point Sweeper

Description

Overview

This sweeper connects directly to the tractor’s rear 3-point hitch, allowing the implement to be lifted, lowered, and operated with precision. The sweeping action is typically driven either by the tractor’s power take-off (PTO) or a hydraulic motor, depending on the model. Brushes rotate to collect dirt, debris, leaves, gravel, and other materials from the surface and deposit them behind or into an optional collection hopper.

Key Features

🔧 3-Point Hitch Mounting

• Designed for rear 3-point linkage on tractors (Category I/II).

• Allows easy attachment and detachment for seasonal use.

🧹 Effective Sweeping Mechanism

• Rotary brush assembly with durable polypropylene or nylon bristles for long-lasting performance.

• Brush speed typically ~180 rpm (varies by model).

• Height adjustment ensures consistent contact with the ground for different surfaces.

⚙️ Drive & Power System

• PTO-driven models use tractor power to rotate the brush via the PTO shaft.

• Hydraulic-driven models leverage tractor hydraulic flow where available.

📦 Optional Debris Collection

• Some configurations include a collector hopper to gather debris as you sweep.

• Manual or hydraulically operated hoppers make disposal easier.

🔄 Adjustable Sweeping Angle

• Many models allow mechanical or hydraulic angling so debris can be swept to the left or right side, increasing efficiency and flexibility.

📏 Multiple Working Widths

• Available in a range of widths, typically from around 1.2 m to over 1.9 m (and larger in industrial models), suitable for compact tractors up to larger agricultural machines.

🛠️ Heavy-Duty Construction

• Built with robust frame and bristles designed for frequent use on rough or paved surfaces. Some models include offset castors, skid shoes, or protective hoods to enhance durability and performance.
