Welcome to the Wiedenmann Super 1300 S compact turf and leaf sweeper.

This feisty new machine is mounted on the lower link arms of the rear three-point hitch of the tractor so is extremely nimble and manoeuvrable, particularly working around trees and other obstacles. Released already in the US, it is proving especially popular for tidying sports fields, public green spaces, and residential areas.

In the same mould as its bigger cousins, the Super 500 and 600, it prioritises health and safety using a parallel system. Its pick-up head is mounted in parallel so that the distance between ground and sweeping brush remains constant, regardless of the fill level, and thus adapts to undulating terrain.

When you lift the tank to empty, it pivots around on its axis, therefore completely discharging. The high dump feature allows it to tip into trailers and bins up to 1.7 m in height.

Equipped with double sweeping rotors, each sweeping rotor has four sweeping rails which help fill the 1.6m³ collection container. Semi-trailed it fits to tractors around 30hp and has a working width of 1.3m, making it sufficiently narrow to get through gates and entrance ways. Optional equipment includes a rear collision guard with integrated lighting kit and a fill indicator.
