Product Overview
The FKDR/HYD linkage is a self contained hydraulic system and linkage for your ride on mower. Hydraulics are supplied with the kit and are powered by the mower engine via a belt. The FKDR Kit is supplied with an integrated control panel to operate the lift/lower mechanism, angling and engage power to the implement. There are 2 levers. One lever controls the angling left and right. The other lever lifts and lowers the linkage. There is a float position on this lever, when engaged—power will be delivered to the implement. Hydraulic flow rate is also adjusted on this panel, enabling you to control the work rate of the implement you are using. The FKDR range sport the same robust construction techniques as our pedestrian equipment, with CNC folded and welded, heavy gauge steel.
These kits are normally fitted to machines of 15hp and over. They all use the Kersten Quick-Attach-FKDR implement hitching system which lets our attachments to be attached and removed in seconds without the use of tools. Attachments available include; Snow Plough, Salt spreader, Sweeper, Weedbrush, Wide brush, Leaf Blower.

Applications
Moss and Weeds on hard surfaces
When Moss and Weeds become established on hard surfaces, such as block paving; tarmac; or concrete - they are difficult to remove with a sweeper. For this application we have made the Weedbrush. Kersten weedbrushes have been designed to quickly remove weeds and moss.
Maintaining Artificial Surfaces
In addition to the normal problems we face maintaining hard surfaces; artificial surfaces have infill, which gets compacted and also migrates around the surface. This infill can be de-compacted with a sweeper allowing the surface to drain properly. The sweeper will also even out the distribution of infill and stand up the grass, making the surface much nicer to use.
Winter Maintenance
Keeping pavements and highstreets open is also a challenge, often undertaken by council teams. A Kersten Plough or Spreader can allow facilities, key bus stops and other transport networks to remain accessible to pedestrians.
