Machine, attachment and carrier fitment

Start with the machine you already own.Find the attachment that fits.

Use the Kersten fitment finder to identify established attachment routes for tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, telehandlers, forklifts, 4x4s and Kersten pedestrian power units.

  • Choose sweeping, winter service or weed brushing
  • Check front and rear mounting options
  • See brackets, drive systems and supporting parts
  • Send the proposed setup for final confirmation

1

My model is in the finder

Select the application, manufacturer, model and mounting position to see the established attachment route and required components.

Open the fitment finder
2

My model is not listed

Send the machine details, linkage, PTO, hydraulics, coupler and intended job so Kersten can assess the configuration.

I want to test the setup

Confirm the fitment first, then arrange a demonstration or short hire on the real surface and with the intended operator.

Interactive fitment finder

Match the application to your carrier

The finder uses Kersten's current fitment logic to show the proposed bracket, attachment, accessories and supporting equipment for listed machines. Final compatibility should be confirmed before ordering because model variants and existing equipment can differ.

What the result means: it identifies the established fitment route held in the current Kersten finder. The final quotation should confirm the exact model variant, mounting hardware, PTO or hydraulic requirements, controls, vehicle capacity and any optional equipment.

What decides compatibility

Fitment is more than matching a brand name

Two machines with similar badges can have different linkages, hydraulic services, PTO arrangements, electrical connections, axle capacities or couplers. These are the details that turn a promising match into a workable setup.

1

Mounting interface

Front linkage, rear three-point linkage, quick attach, receiver, fork pockets or a dedicated carrier bracket.

2

Drive method

Mechanical PTO, hydraulic drive, carrier-powered hydraulics or a separate power pack.

3

Hydraulic services

Available flow, pressure, return line, connection type and the functions required for lift, angle or drive.

4

PTO details

Front or rear PTO, speed, direction of rotation, shaft arrangement and driveline geometry.

5

Vehicle capacity

Lift capacity, axle loading, attachment weight, overhang, ballast and counterbalance requirements.

6

Controls and electrics

In-cab controls, solenoids, lighting, electrical supply and safe routing of hoses or cables.

7

Working width

The attachment should suit the carrier track, route width, gateways, paths, storage and transport constraints.

8

Task and accessories

Collector boxes, gully brushes, support wheels, cutting edges, spread controls and surface conditions affect the final specification.

Browse by carrier type

Explore the wider attachment ranges

Use these routes when you want to compare the broader range for a carrier type, or when you are still deciding which application to add to the machine.

Assisted compatibility check

Not listed, modified or unsure what is fitted?

Give Kersten the information available. The form will build a structured enquiry so the fitment can be reviewed without starting from a blank contact message.

After submitting this request, Kersten can advise which photographs or further measurements are needed to complete the fitment review.

From fitment to working machine

Confirm the setup, then prove it on the real job

A correct mounting and drive system is the first step. A demonstration or short hire then lets you check access, productivity, finish, operator controls and the attachment options needed for the actual site.

1

Confirm fitment

Check the exact carrier variant, mounting components, drive requirements and attachment specification.

Request confirmation
2

Demonstrate on site

Test the machine on the intended surface with the people, material and access restrictions that matter.

Book a demonstration
3

Hire before purchase

Use a short hire when a longer working trial is more useful than a single demonstration visit.

Compatibility questions

Before you order an attachment

Does the fitment finder provide final order confirmation?

The finder identifies the established fitment route recorded for the selected carrier and application. Kersten should still confirm the exact model variant, existing linkage, PTO or hydraulic specification, vehicle capacity, controls and optional equipment before an order is placed.

What should I do when my exact model is not listed?

Use the assisted compatibility form with the make, model, year, mounting system, PTO or hydraulic details and the intended application. Kersten can then identify whether an existing fitment applies or whether further measurements and photographs are needed.

Can Kersten add a front linkage or hydraulic power system?

Some attachment routes use dedicated front linkages, PTO kits, hydraulic power packs or carrier-specific brackets. The available option depends on the machine and model, so include the existing equipment in the fitment request.

Why does mounting position change the recommended attachment?

Front and rear mounting can change visibility, manoeuvrability, drive direction, weight distribution, collector options and the bracket or linkage required. The finder separates these routes where the current fitment data supports both positions.

What information is most useful for a telehandler, loader or forklift?

Provide the exact carrier model, coupler or fork dimensions, hydraulic flow and pressure, attachment lift capacity, intended material, surface and working width. Photographs of the carriage and hydraulic connections are often useful after the initial enquiry.

Can I arrange a demonstration after the fitment is confirmed?

Yes. A demonstration request can include the confirmed carrier, attachment, site surface, material, access constraints and the result you want to assess. Demonstration availability and suitability are confirmed for each request.

Frequently Asked Questions

The finder identifies established fitment routes for selected carriers and applications. However, Kersten recommends confirming the exact model variant, existing linkage, PTO or hydraulic specifications, vehicle capacity, controls, and optional equipment before placing an order. This ensures the final setup is accurate.

If your model isn't listed, use the assisted compatibility form. Provide machine make, model, year, mounting system, PTO or hydraulic details, and the intended application. Kersten will then assess if an existing fitment applies or if further measurements and photographs are needed to determine compatibility.

Compatibility depends on several factors beyond just the brand name. Key considerations include the mounting interface (e.g., front linkage, quick attach), drive method (PTO, hydraulic), hydraulic services (flow, pressure), PTO details (speed, direction), vehicle capacity, controls, working width, and specific task accessories.

Some attachment routes do utilize dedicated front linkages, PTO kits, hydraulic power packs, or carrier-specific brackets. The availability of these options varies by machine and model. When requesting a fitment check, it is important to include details of your existing equipment.

Yes, demonstrations can be arranged after fitment confirmation. A demonstration request should include details of the confirmed carrier, attachment, site surface, materials, access constraints, and the desired assessment outcomes. Kersten will confirm the suitability and availability of the demonstration.
