The Perfect brush sweep has been developed to work in orchards and vineyards, with the standard machine working in row widths from 2.80 to 4.10 metres (9’2” – 13’5”).
Used to clear the tree row strips from leaves, remaining fruit, prunings and any other debris, the Perfect brush sweep is a fantastic tool for leaving a clean row strip which will, in turn, reduce the risk of fungus and disease-developing.
The brushes are made of highly resistant synthetic material and spin at approximately 140 to 160 rpm. Some growers prefer a system using rubber ‘paddles’ rather than brushes so this is available as an option.
For perfect terrain adjustment, each sweep head has a support swivel wheel, along with hydraulic rams to adjust the working width and lift the sweeper into transport position.
With the brush sweeps mounted at the front of the tractor, it is possible to use the machines in combination with a rear-mounted pulveriser. Therefore in one pass, the row has been completely cleared of leaves, prunings and debris.
The brush sweep is also available singled sided for front mounting or can be mounted on a rear mounted pulveriser.
Growers can also opt for a version using smaller diameter (580mm rather than 1300mm) sweep heads to allow the machine to be used in narrower plantings.
Mounting is via front/ rear linkage or a standard front mounting bracket.
