Kersten K1500 – Hydraulic 2 Wheel Tractor

The K1500 is our mid range model. It features a professional Honda GX engine, hydraulic transmission to the wheels and is ideal for a contractor with it’s narrow access capabilities. The hydraulic operation also means maintenance is kept to a minimum. No belts, no clutch, no gearbox.

The versatile self-propelled machine features the Kersten Quick-Attach35 system that allows the various implements to be changed in seconds without the use of tools. The K 1500 further advances the quest for high operator comfort with low noise 82dB and vibration levels 1.6m/ s 2

Attachments for K1500

Front Sweeping Machine 90cm H

Kersten Weedbrush 40cm for K1500

The WKB-H-K35-1500 attachment consists of eight, easily replaceable steel ‘Versa’ brushes that would normally last up to an average of 30 to 40 hours, depending on the application. The WKB-H-K35-1500 attachment is fully and finely adjustable for height and angle to facilitate a wide variety of tasks and surfaces.

The deep jointed sets of block paving will require more penetration than a tarmac surface. The WKB-H-K35-1500 may be attached and removed in seconds by a typical operator, thanks to Kersten’s QuckAttach35 system. The Kersten K1500 power unit is ideally suited to drive this attachment with its infinitely variable speed drive system. The 6.5hp engine provides a lightweight maneuverable solution.
The WKB-H-K35-1500 does not collect debris but the K1500 may be fitted with the sweeper and collector to finish the job. The sweeper may also be used for maintaining the surface to prevent the growth of moss.

For larger or heavier duty applications the K1500 may be used to drive the WKB-H-K35-1500 WeedBrush. Seen below is the K1500 with the WKB-H-K35-1500 WeedBrush being used to renovate a neglected path and edge. The WKB-H-K35-1500 brushes back edges and removes a growth in most hard surfaces. Most importantly the steel brush loosens and removes the soil, moss and other mediums retaining moisture that allows germination and development of unwanted growth.

Applications

Moss & Weed Management

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.

Artificial Surface Maintenance

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.
