Kersten mounting brackets & attachment frames
The bracket is the connection between the machine you own and the attachment you want to use.
Kersten, Matev and specialist attachments can be fitted to tractors, front mowers, loaders, telehandlers and other carriers — but the correct mounting interface matters. Start with the attachment type below, then choose the bracket that matches your carrier.
How the mounting system works
Think of the bracket as the adapter between two different interfaces.
A front linkage or loader frame gives the carrier a mounting system. The attachment has its own mounting points. The bracket is what makes those two sides compatible — and on many Kersten attachments that bracket is a separate, required item.
Carrier
Your tractor, mower, loader, telehandler, forklift or municipal vehicle.
Vehicle interface
Cat. 0/1/2 links, A-frame, 2-point, loader carriage, Euro hitch or another vehicle-specific system.
Mounting bracket
Usually an ABR or other model-specific frame that adapts the carrier to the implement.
Attachment
The sweeper, plough, weedbrush, blower, vacuum nozzle, watering arm or other tool.
Choose the job first
Find brackets by attachment type.
This is the quickest way to narrow the range. Different attachments use different bracket families even when they are fitted to the same tractor.
Sweeper brackets
The widest bracket family, covering front linkages, A-frames, loaders, Euro hitches, forklifts and more.

Weedbrush brackets
3-point linkage, front A-frame, out-front mower and loader interfaces for UB and UB Easy machines.
See weedbrush brackets ↓
Snow plough brackets
Brackets for 3-point linkages, A-frames, front mowers, loaders and vehicle-specific winter setups.
See snow-plough brackets ↓
Leaf blower brackets
Interchangeable mounting frames for tractors, front mowers and specialist municipal carriers.
See blower brackets ↓
Hot-air weeder brackets
3-point, out-front mower and loader mounting options for vehicle-mounted HOAF WeedAir machines.
See hot-air brackets ↓
Vacuum nozzle brackets
Matev MRM suction nozzles use dedicated Cat. 0 and Cat. 1 bracket options.
See vacuum brackets ↓
Watering arm brackets
Frames for Cat. 1, three-point and municipal dome-triangle interfaces.
See watering-arm brackets ↓
Spreader & mower-conversion brackets
Some spreader systems use dedicated rear mounting brackets rather than an ABR front frame.
See spreader mounts ↓Sweeper mounting frames
Sweeper brackets are selected by sweeper family first, then by carrier interface.
The ABR number normally follows the sweeper frame family or brush diameter. A 60-series sweeper does not use the same bracket family as a 45- or 52-series machine.
Kersten sweeper bracket families
ABR 37, 45, 50, 52, 60 and 70.
Within each family there can be several interfaces: link arms, quick A-frame, front mower, front loader, Euro carriage, telehandler, forklift, rear three-point or Unimog-style mounting.
FKM / KM 37 sweepers
Common on smaller ride-on mower and sub-compact tractor sweepers.
View ABR 37 bracket choices →KM 45 sweepers
Options include John Deere quick-tach, Cat. 0 A-frame, Cat. 1 A-frame and out-front mower interfaces.
View ABR 45 bracket choices →KM 50 sweepers
Typical choices include Cat. 1 A-frame, link-arm front linkage and front-mower 2-point mounting.
View ABR 50 bracket choices →KM 52 sweepers
A very broad family including front/rear 3-point, A-frame, loader, Euro, forklift and Kubota loader options.
View ABR 52 FRONT →FKM / KM 60 sweepers
Available for A-frame, front linkage, Euro, telehandler, Unimog and other heavy-duty carrier interfaces.
View ABR 60 FRONT →KM 70 sweepers
Heavy-duty mounts for 3-point front linkage, telehandler, Euro, forklift and Unimog applications.
View ABR 70 FRONT →Weedbrush mounting frames
UB and UB Easy weedbrushes use dedicated ABR-UB attachment frames.
The weedbrush itself is only one part of the package. The carrier needs the correct ABR-UB mounting frame, and the larger UB machines may also require the appropriate brush plate and hydraulic control system.
ABR-UB
Match the weedbrush to the tractor or carrier.
Current UB 6080 and UB Easy product pages show bracket routes for standard three-point linkage, front A-frame, out-front mower and loader applications.
Three-point linkage
For tractors using a suitable front three-point linkage rather than a quick A-frame.
See UB 6080 bracket choices →Front A-frame
A common route on compact tractors fitted with a front linkage and quick-coupling A-frame.
See A-frame mounting choices →Loader or out-front mower
Dedicated frames are available for loader interfaces and selected out-front mower mounting systems.
See loader bracket choices →Snow plough mounting frames
SCHN plough blades are sold separately from the bracket that connects them to the carrier.
That lets the same plough family be configured for very different tractors and vehicle interfaces.
ABR-SCHN
Choose the plough, then the carrier-specific bracket.
Current SCHN45 and SCHN60 plough pages list mounting options including John Deere front systems, Cat. 0 A-frame, Kubota G-series/Kersten linkage, front three-point and 2-point front-mower style interfaces.
Cat. I / II front linkage
Three-point mounting frame for compatible SCHN45 and SCHN60 ploughs.
View the 3-point plough bracket →Compact tractor mounts
Includes Cat. 0 A-frame, Kubota G23/G26 and other model-specific winter mounting routes.
See the full bracket list →Front mower & loader mounts
Selected ploughs can also be adapted to 2-point front mower and loader interfaces.
See SCHN60 mounting choices →Leaf blower mounting frames
LBV blowers use the ABR-LBV bracket family.
The blower has an interchangeable mounting frame, so the same LBV machine can be adapted to several tractor and mower interfaces.
ABR-LBV
Tractor, front mower and specialist LBV mounting choices.
Kersten currently lists three-point, Cat. 1 / 2, front-mower, two-point and model-specific LBV bracket routes.
Three-point tractor mounts
For conventional tractor front linkage arrangements where the linkage and PTO/hydraulics suit the blower.
See all LBV bracket choices →Out-front mower mounts
Two-point front-mower mounting frame with further vehicle-specific sub-options.
View LBV front-mower bracket →Kubota / John Deere / other carriers
Some LBV installations use a model-specific secondary bracket beneath the main mounting route.
See hydraulic LBV mounting choices →Vehicle-mounted hot-air weeders
HOAF WeedAir machines also need the correct mounting frame.
The 100 cm and 120 cm tractor-mounted WeedAir products list brackets for conventional tractor linkage, out-front mower and telescopic-loader interfaces.
WeedAir bracket family
Choose the mounting frame to suit the carrier.
Because the WeedAir machine is a substantial front-mounted implement, the bracket choice is part of the machine specification rather than an afterthought.
Standard tractor mounting
Mounting-frame options are listed directly against the WeedAir machine.
See WeedAir 120 brackets →Front linkage bracket
A dedicated bracket route is available for suitable tractor front-linkage systems.
See WeedAir 100 brackets →Alternative carrier interfaces
Current product pages also list out-front mower and telescopic-loader mounting options.
Explore vehicle-mounted hot-air weeders →Vacuum nozzle mounting frames
Matev MRM vacuum nozzles use their own Cat. 0 and Cat. 1 bracket choices.
The MRM-H 120 and MRM-120 AS both require a hose and a suitable bracket; the bracket is selected to match the tractor linkage arrangement.
Matev MRM bracket options
Cat. 0 A-frame, Cat. 1 A-frame or Cat. 1 linkage.
The correct bracket depends on whether the tractor uses an A-frame or conventional lower links.
Vacuum A-frame bracket
Dedicated bracket for tractors using a Cat. 0 A-frame.
See MRM-H 120 bracket choices →Matev MRM Cat. 1 A-frame bracket
For tractors with a Cat. 1 quick A-frame system.
See MRM-120 AS bracket choices →Cat. 1 without A-frame
A separate bracket is available where the tractor uses conventional Cat. 1 linkage arms.
Explore vacuum nozzles →Watering-arm mounting frames
The FS 3000 has its own ABR FS / WR mounting-frame family.
The watering arm can be configured for several tractor and municipal coupling systems, so the mounting frame must be selected with the machine.
ABR FS 3000 / ABR WR
Cat. 1, three-point and municipal dome-triangle options.
Current FS 3000 product data lists multiple dedicated mounting frames rather than one universal bracket.
Cat. 1 mounting frame
For suitable compact tractor Cat. 1 front-linkage systems.
See FS 3000 bracket choices →Municipal coupling systems
Dome-triangle versions are available for compatible municipal carriers.
See municipal bracket choices →Three-point attachment frame
Dedicated three-point mounting-frame options are listed alongside the FS 3000.
Explore watering arms →Other mounting brackets
Not every mounting frame is called ABR.
Some rear-mounted or carrier-conversion attachments use their own mounting-frame code. The 70-litre ride-on mower spreader is a good example.
Rear spreader mounting
SLDST 70 H-FKDR uses a dedicated AK-SLDST-H rear mounting bracket.
This is why this page is organised by attachment rather than simply by the letters ABR: the mounting system can use another family code but it still performs the same essential interface job.
Rear spreader mounting bracket
Required for the hydraulic 70-litre spreader when rear mounted on compatible ride-on mowers.
View the spreader mounting system →Ride-on mower conversion system
The complete setup can also depend on the mower-specific linkage and hydraulic package.

Already know what is on the front of your machine?
These are the mounting descriptions you will repeatedly see across the bracket range.
Cat. 0 / Cat. 1 / Cat. 2 link arms
Conventional linkage. The bracket pins directly to the tractor's front or rear lower links and top link.
Quick A-frame
Fast attachment changes. The tractor linkage carries an A-frame and the ABR bracket mates to it.
Out-front mower / 2-point
Machine-specific geometry. Common on front mowers from Kubota, John Deere, Stiga and similar carriers.
Loader / Euro / telehandler
Loader carriage mounting. Heavier sweepers and weedbrushes can use loader, Euro or telehandler couplings.
Forklift
Industrial carrier. Some KM sweeper families have floating forklift mounting frames.
Unimog / municipal carrier
Specialist interface. Heavy-duty sweeper families include municipal-vehicle bracket options.
Rear 3-point
Rear operation. Some sweepers and spreaders use rear linkage or dedicated rear-mount frames.
Vehicle-specific kit
Exact model matters. Some applications require a bracket designed around one tractor, mower or loader family.
Not sure which bracket fits?
Send us the exact carrier and the attachment you want to mount.
Make, model and year of the tractor/mower/loader plus the exact attachment code are normally enough for us to narrow down the correct mounting frame. A photo of the existing linkage or quick-attach system is also very useful.
