Case Study: Rear Mounted Sweeper to suit the ISEKI TM 3185

The ISEKI TM 3185 is a highly capable compact tractor, popular for its compact dimensions, superb manoeuvrability in tight areas, and its all-around versatility. It's ideal for a range of tasks on sites like holiday parks, private estates, gardens, schools and small sports turf areas like tennis courts.

If you're looking to clear debris, manage moss, maintain artificial surfaces, or simply keep your access roads pristine, Kersten HKM40 rear PTO driven sweeper is an excellent choice for you.

The Kersten HKM 40 is a Mechanically PTO driven rear mounted sweeper designed for small jobs and individual premises. It features a lightweight, strong steel chassis, adjustable mounting frame, and the ability to angle for windrowing. Available with a collector box and gully brush, it is perfect for ground care applications on sub-compact and compact tractors.

The items used in this project were as follows:

1. HKM 12540 M 125cm rear mounted Sweeper: This is the core of the system, designed for efficient debris collection.
2. SSB 12540 Collector box: Essential for gathering the swept material.
3. HB-SSB-HFKM Hydraulic collector box opening: This offers convenient hydraulic operation for emptying the collector box.
4. ASH 5040 M Gully Brush: An excellent addition for tackling stubborn debris in gutters and along edges.

(2025-2026 special offers: purchase sweeper, attachment frame and collector box with only £4190(excl VAT))

The HKM 40 range can be easily adjusted for height and the angle can be adjusted using a manual setting bar, or an optional hydraulic cylinder. In the kit above we have used a hydraulic opening cylinder for the collector box. It can also be set up to manually open with a rope from the seat.
