General Specifications
Features
Symmetrical plastic hopper positioned between the outboard wheels. Large
floatation tires, optimally placed to share GVW ”equally” when collecting cores.
Positive tongue weight via sub frame pivot. Manual engage tongue offset and lock,
Floating sweeper head (pitch and roll axis), Sweeping width 52 inches, Sweeper
head close–proximity rubber flaps (Anti–dribble rubber side flaps &
reduced–deposit rubber front flap). High–dump (Designed to easily dump into a
Toro Workman bed or equivalent vehicle) On board hydraulics with electric remote
control.
Configuration
Towed, two–wheel trailer with movable tongue to provide an offset position for
sweeping. Symmetrical wheel placement (both wheels outboard of hopper). Rear,
high–dump hopper. Front–mounted over–throw sweeper brush, with floating
sweeping head
Hopper
One piece, rotational–molded construction. Hinged cover opens freely when
dumping debris. Rear vent molded into cover.
Sweeper Head
Over–throw design. 52” sweeper width. 14” diameter–Tube Brush, 4–row, 90
degrees radial pattern. Welded steel housing construction. Floating Sweeper Head.
Rear roller (6” diameter) is adjustable with a graduated markings to accommodate
for brush wear. Rear roller scraper (self cleaning). Direct hydraulic motor drive (650
rpm @ Workman high idle)
Hydraulics
Primary hydraulic power source supplied via Workman high–flow hydraulics kit, 8
gpm @ 2000psi max (3600 rpm high idle), Dual quick couplers (2–hose
connection), Dash–mounted ON / OFF switch Note: Older Workman will need a
Dakota high–flow hydraulic kit. Single acting hydraulic lift cylinder (3.5” dia x 24.0
stroke), Sweeping brush motor hydraulic (2.7 CID). Hydraulic valve/manifold
mounted on Sweeper, with the controls operated from the driver seat by a 12V
electrical remote control panel, Lift (momentary)/hold (neutral) float (detent)
3–position switch, Brush enable switch (brush only operates in ”Float”), Provide
switched dash–area 12V power tap on Workman. (e.g. for tractor applications) If a
tractor is to be used, make sure the hydraulic flow is 800 gpm @ 2000 psi. If the
flow is greater than 8 gpm damage to the sweeper may occur.
Dumping
Hopper mouth opening 45.5” (to allow dumping into rear of vehicle bed).
Single–pivot dump linkage w/subframe.
Frame/Tongue
Welded tubular steel construction. Pivoting tongue w/ (removable) mechanical
latch. Tongue offsets such that brush edge is in line with outboard rear tire of
Workman. 3/4” hitch pin with safety lynch pin
Tires
26.5” x 14 – 12” , 2170 lb. load capacity @ 12.5 psi. Ground pressure with full load
(1 cubic yard of cores ) (Sweeper and cores 3000 lbs) 9psi – 11psi contact
pressure.
Safety Devices
Interlock brush switch prevents the brush from operating when the sweeper head is
off the ground. Safety lock for lift cylinder.
Speed
Forward sweeping speed between 0–4 mph, infinitely variable (recommended
speed 3 mph, Workman vehicle 1st gear high idle)
Forward transport speed with hopper in down transport position shall be between
0–15 mph.
