Prices are for individual linkage listings, excluding VAT. PTO kits, ABR brackets, attachments, installation and some hydraulic components are separate. Photographs show installed systems and may include optional PTO equipment. Confirm the supplied coupling and kit contents in the quotation.
Lifting capacity is not the complete working-load allowance. Load position, brackets, a filled collector, axle limits and ballast all affect what the tractor can carry.
Match the working power
Front PTO kits are a separate choice.
A front linkage carries and lifts the tool. A front PTO supplies rotating mechanical power. Use a kit matched to the tractor and an implement matched to its output speed, direction and shaft connection.

Check the drive specification before ordering. Confirm rotation and the viewpoint used to describe it, PTO speed, spline, shaft length, guarding and operating angles. A 1,000 rpm label alone does not establish compatibility. Specify linkage, PTO and attachment bracket together.
The complete front installation
Linkage. Power. Bracket. Working tool.
The front linkage is the tractor-side lifting system. Most Kersten attachments also need a carrier-to-attachment bracket, frequently identified by an ABR code.
Fit the tractor
Check the exact model, generation and chassis, plus loader brackets and any mid-mounted mower. Similar tractor names do not guarantee the same installation.
Provide the right power
Match mechanical PTO output to the implement gearbox, or hydraulic flow, pressure and return arrangements to the attachment motor. Add services for angling or other functions.
Add the correct ABR bracket
The bracket connects the linkage interface to the attachment frame. An A-frame or three-point hitch by itself does not make every attachment ready to fit.
Choose by function
What does each part actually do?
Front linkage: support and lift
The linkage carries the tool and provides its lifting geometry. A Cat. 0 municipal triangle and a Cat. 1 three-point quick-coupler system use different implement connections; match the bracket dimensions and locking arrangement.
Mechanical PTO: rotating drive
The PTO turns a compatible implement through a drive shaft. It is useful where the selected tool requires mechanical power. The linkage still supplies the structural mounting and lift.
Hydraulics: movement or motor power
A double-acting service can operate a cylinder. Continuous motor drive additionally requires suitable oil flow, pressure, return and any case drain. Two front couplings alone do not confirm motor compatibility.
Example: front hydraulic connections
A separate size 2 double-acting connection set is listed for the Kioti CK2810 / CK3310. Specify it around the attachment’s actual functions.
Example: hose and control kit
The Branson 00 linkage listing excludes its hose kit. A dedicated single-lever kit is listed with pressure reduction, a shut-off valve and front quick couplings. Loader installations may need a different hose arrangement.
Beyond the compact tractor choices
Folger’s range extends further.
Folger manufactures front systems for selected compact and agricultural tractor series. Ask Kersten to check current UK availability and the exact system for your model.
Iseki TM3215–TM3265
Folger’s manufacturer directory includes this TM series. Request the model-specific Folger specification and price, including the required power and attachment connection. Ask Kersten about other Iseki models.
Larger Kubota tractors
Folger lists selected M4, M5, M6 and M7 series, alongside older Kubota models. Confirm the tractor generation, linkage category, lift geometry and power requirements for your planned implement.
New Holland, Case IH and Steyr
Selected agricultural series and retrofit front PTO options are included in Folger’s manufacturer range. For New Holland, Folger lists selected agricultural T4, T5, T6 and T7 tractor series.

Put the system to work
Which attachment suits your job?
Choose the tool around the surface and task, then confirm its bracket, drive and working load against your tractor.

Kubota LX case study
Front sweeping with the mid mower retained
Kersten used the tractor’s hydraulics to drive a KM45 sweeper, with collection and a gully brush. A Cat. 0 front linkage and ABR bracket completed the mounting.

Kioti CK35 case study
Match drive to the tractor’s available power
This installation paired front linkage and an ABR bracket with a hydraulic sweeper, collector and gully brush. It shows why mounting and power are specified together.

Front linkage and PTO questions
Does the linkage price include a front PTO?
The linkage and PTO are generally separate listings. Add the power system only where the attachment requires it, and confirm fitting, controls, shafts and bracket scope in the complete quotation.
Are Cat. 0 and Cat. 1 interchangeable?
No. The listed municipal Cat. 0 triangle and Cat. 1 three-point quick-coupler systems use different attachment interfaces. Check dimensions, locks and the correct attachment-side ABR bracket. Some product titles and descriptions differ, so confirm the supplied coupling before ordering.
Can I leave my loader or mid-mounted mower fitted?
That depends on the tractor, linkage and drive route. The Kubota LX case study shows one hydraulic installation retaining the mid mower. Other models and PTO arrangements may need different clearance or equipment removal.
Will any Kersten attachment fit the front linkage?
The attachment needs a compatible carrier bracket, power source and working-load allowance. Most do not bolt directly to the linkage. Check both the tractor-side interface and the attachment in the Compatibility Centre.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Provide the tractor make, exact model, year or serial details, front-end photographs, any loader or mower details and the attachment you want to use. Include available hydraulic and PTO information where known.
Does the published lifting capacity equal the weight I can carry?
No. The complete load and its distance from the linkage affect leverage. Include the bracket, drive equipment and any collected material, then check the tractor’s axle limits, ballast and stability as well as the linkage rating.
