Matev tractor-mounted collection systems

Collect more material and unload it where the job demands

Matev CLS collectors combine a shaped PE hopper, high-output turbine and tractor-specific installation to gather grass, leaves and light debris. Choose from 650 to 1,650 litres, then select low dump for simple ground-level emptying or high dump for trailers and containers.

First decision

Low dump or high dump?

Capacity controls how long you can work between emptying. The tipping method controls where the material can go when the hopper is full.

Low dump

Simple unloading onto the ground or a composting area

Low-dump collectors keep the emptying process straightforward. They suit sites where material can be tipped at ground level, into a heap or onto a designated composting area without lifting over the side of another container.

High dump

Lift material into a trailer or receiving container

High-dump models add a lift-out mechanism so the hopper can empty over the side of a trailer or container. The tractor’s stability, axle loading, hydraulic services and unloading geometry must be confirmed before supply.

Two collector families

Compact CLS-SE or higher-capacity CLS-XE?

The smaller collectors prioritise compact tractor compatibility and flexible mounting. The XE range adds larger hoppers and a bigger turbine for longer routes and higher seasonal volumes.

Collector engineering

Features that improve fill, airflow and working time

The useful difference is not capacity alone. Hopper shape, turbine durability, filtration and monitoring all affect how effectively the collector uses its quoted volume.

1

Shaped PE hopper

The self-supporting polyethylene shell is designed to compress clippings and leaves so more of the stated hopper volume can be used.

2

High-output turbine

The SE range uses a 45 cm turbine; XE collectors use a larger 51.5 cm turbine for the higher-capacity systems.

3

Filtered exhaust airflow

The container shape, spoiler and filter area manage the outgoing air and reduce dust development during dry collection work.

4

Optional Flow Control

Matev’s monitoring option uses LEDs to indicate hopper fill and can warn of a developing blockage before productivity is lost.

5

Low/high conversion options

Conversion kits are listed for changing between low- and high-dump configurations on compatible collector families, subject to the final build.

6

Multiple pickup tools

The collector can form part of a system with a mower, vacuum nozzle or suitable suction pickup. Matev also lists a 130 cm rear suction bar for CLS-SE.

Build a complete system

The hopper is only one part of the collector specification

Every installation needs the correct drive, hose connection, spoiler, hydraulics and tractor mounting. These components are selected around the tractor and the pickup attachment.

01

Choose the pickup attachment

Confirm whether material comes from a mower deck, vacuum nozzle, suction bar or another compatible pickup.

02

Match the blower cover and hose

Standard and conically offset 20 cm blower-cover options accommodate different tractor track widths and tyre layouts.

03

Configure drive and hydraulics

The correct universal joint shaft, hydraulic connectors and required services are selected for the tractor and dump system.

04

Confirm carrying or towing hardware

CLS-SE can be configured as a carried or towed collector with the appropriate wheel, support and linkage equipment.

Fitment essentials

Check the loaded collector, not only the empty machine

The correct model must remain safe and stable when the hopper is full and, for high-dump versions, throughout the complete lifting and unloading cycle.

Tractor capacity

  • Exact tractor, cab, tyre and ballast configuration
  • Rear lift capacity and axle loading
  • Permitted gross vehicle weight
  • Stability with a full hopper and raised high-dump mechanism

Drive and hydraulics

  • PTO speed, shaft geometry and guarding
  • Hydraulic connection type and available services
  • Dump-function control and hose routing
  • Continuous-duty suitability for the intended route

Airflow and pickup

  • Pickup attachment and outlet position
  • 20 cm blower-cover style
  • Hose length, bend radius and support
  • Spoiler and filter configuration

Site and unloading method

  • Expected grass, leaf or debris volume
  • Ground-level tip, trailer or container
  • Required loading height and reach
  • Gateways, storage height and transport width

This provides a sensible product starting point. Kersten will still confirm the tractor, pickup attachment, PTO, hydraulics and complete collector build.

Complete the working system

The same collector can support different seasonal jobs when the tractor and hose arrangement are specified for compatible pickup attachments.

Collector FAQs

Questions before choosing a CLS collector

Does the collector include everything needed for my tractor?

No universal collector build suits every tractor. The basic unit still needs the correct hydraulic connectors, blower cover, spoiler, drive components and tractor-specific carrying or towing equipment. Kersten confirms the complete bill of materials before supply.

Can the 650 and 850 litre collectors be towed?

Matev lists the compact CLS-SE range in carried and pulled configurations. The correct wheel kit, support equipment and linkage arrangement must be selected for the tractor.

How high can a high-dump collector unload?

The smaller SE range lists a maximum lift height of 185 cm. The XE high-dump range lists a maximum loading height of 206.4 cm and a loading reach of 46.5 cm at 1.8 m. Actual usable clearance depends on the tractor and container geometry.

Can one collector work with both a mower and vacuum nozzle?

Yes, a collector can form part of different material-pickup systems, but each attachment needs the correct hose, blower cover and connection geometry. Compatibility is confirmed for the complete tractor and attachment combination.

Specify the collector around your tractor and unloading route

Send the tractor make and model, pickup attachment, preferred capacity and whether you need low- or high-dump unloading. Kersten will confirm the complete collector configuration.
