Front Linkage Kit for Iseki TG Range plus PTO

Upgrading a tractor like the Iseki TG Series with front linkage and a Front Power Take-Off (PTO) essentially transforms it from a "pulling machine" into a multi-functional power platform. For a compact yet powerful tractor like the TG, this setup maximizes its high-spec hydraulic capabilities.

Here is a breakdown of why this configuration is a game-changer:

1. True Multi-Tasking (Increased Productivity)

The most significant benefit is the ability to perform two operations in a single pass. This saves fuel, reduces soil compaction, and cuts your working time in half.

1. Mowing: Run a front-mounted mower and a rear-mounted mower simultaneously to double your cutting width.
2. Bed Preparation: Use a front-mounted press or cultivator while pulling a seeder behind.
3. Snow Removal: Use a front-mounted blower or blade while spreading salt or grit from the rear.
4. Weed Removal: Use a front mounted weedbrush to remove weeds and detritus from paving and kerbs whilst collecting the debris with a rear mounted sweeper
5. Sweeping surfaces: Use front mounted sweepers to remove muck and detritus
6. Leaf Collection: Use a leaf collection vacuum on the front of the tractor with a transfer pipe to a rear collection system either trailed or mounted.

2. Superior Visibility and Ergonomics

When using front-mounted implements, the operator doesn't have to constantly twist their neck to monitor the work.

1. Precision: It is much easier to drive a precise line when the tool (like a sweeper or a mower) is right in front of your eyes.
2. Safety: You can see obstacles before the implement hits them, which is much harder to do with rear-mounted equipment.

3. Better Weight Distribution and Traction

Front linkage serves as a dynamic weight carrier.

1. Balance: Instead of just hanging "dead weight" (suitcase weights) on the front to balance a heavy rear implement, you can use a functional tool to provide that ballast. Simply mount suitcase weights on a quick attach triangle. Removes the need for lifting heavy weights or leaving them on the tractor for operations which don't require front weight
2. Reduced Compaction: By spreading the weight of implements between the front and rear axles, you reduce the "see-saw" effect and high-pressure points on the rear tires.

4. Enhanced Maneuverability

Front-mounted tools follow the steering of the tractor more intuitively than trailed or rear-mounted tools. In tight spaces—common for the compact Iseki TG—this allows you to get closer to corners, fences, and edges without the "swing-out" risk associated with rear implements.

Specific Benefits for the Iseki TG Series

The TG Series is known for its "big tractor" features in a compact frame. Adding front linkage/PTO to this specific model takes advantage of:

1. Integrated Controls: Iseki often features ergonomic joystick controls that make operating front lift arms incredibly smooth compared to aftermarket "bolt-on" levers.
2. High Hydraulic Flow: The TG series has a robust hydraulic system. This ensures the front linkage is responsive even when the rear 3-point hitch is under load.
3. Mid-Mount Compatibility: On many TG configurations, you can maintain a mid-mount mower deck while still utilizing the front linkage for light tasks or weights, offering ultimate versatility.

4. Quick implement change

Most Kersten Front linkage options include a Quick Attach Triangle.

This system avoids the use use of fiddly often corroded linage pins. Simply drive the tractor male A frame in to the implement female A frame and lift the hydraulics to engage. The locking systems are often tool less or utilising one simple locking screw with securing nut. Selecting one universal size A frame for all your implements enhances compatibility of implements when prime movers are updated. Slide on the PTO shaft.
