Towed Sweepers, Collectors & Leaf Blowers

Make a clean sweep of leaves and debris with this 96cm (38") tow behind lawn sweeper from The Handy.

Suitable for use on lawns, the sweeper is fitted with a 10" diameter brush and wheels and equipped with a large 280 litre easy tip hopper. The sweeper is height adjustable, whilst the poly construction makes it light and easy and clean after use.

The TS98 lawn sweeper is robust in construction to withstand prolonged heavy use. British built by SCH with parts of the highest standard, this is probably the best value and one of the most effective sweepers on the market.

The sweeper may be used for grass collection after mowing, leaf collection and other garden debris. To achieve the best results when hard surface sweeping, a rubber strip can be fitted at time of manufacture (see accessories below).

The brush shaft is split in the centre acting as a differential. Therefore each drive wheel powers the sweeper brushes giving twice the performance and efficiency compared with one free wheel. The stainless steel brush shaft differential has an advanced method with grease nipple and spiral machined into the connecting pin for even distribution of grease.

Four rows of brushes, which are mounted on a hardwood stock, can be replaced once worn out by simply bolting new brushes directly onto the drive shaft without having to disturb the drive gear mechanism. If the sweeper is set at the correct height, the bristle tips just sit a fraction above the surface of the ground and will last a long time.

PARTS

Due to the TS98 being manufacturerd and assembled at SCH (Ipswich), all replacement parts are readily available and can usually be despatched for next day delivery. The all-metal drive mechanism is very durable for prolonged heavy use. The drive gears are less likely to strip apposed to nylon gears used in cheaper versions.

MAINTENANCE

The TS98 requires limited maintenance provided that it is used in dry conditions. A simple 'wash down' will remove any debris. If the machine is not to be used for a while, it is recommended that all moving metal parts be lubricated. Routine checking of parts to ensure bolts are secure, etc, should be all that is required.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

• 50mm ball hitch
• Hard surface rubber front strip
  SCH advise that the strip should be removed when using the sweeper on grass to ensure optimum performance

This SCH hard surface towed sweeper benefits from a sprung floor, which allows the sand to flow back through the base of the hopper, at the same time collecting debris such as leaves, seeds and twigs.

A differential mechanism on the brushes which allows the sweeper to be manoeuvred in tight corners without the wheels scuffing; height adjustment is simple.  Both wheels drive the pick up brushes giving excellent sweeping power.  The main drive is transmitted via metal gears.

A cover plate is supplied with each machine to cover the mesh floor in sweeping operations where all debris is required to be collected.

The EPB has been built to reduce the manual collection of horse droppings and improve pasture management.

Suitable for use with most garden tractors and ATVs. Four rows of tough propropelene brushes that can sweep horse droppings, wet / dry grass and leaves. The brush height can be easily adjusted.

The regular removal of droppings promotes healthy grass and helps reduce droppings related diseases. Four rows of height adjustable brushes rotate at variable speeds to flick the droppings into the rot proof rear collecting box. The brushes are driven by a 5.5hp Honda engine equipped with a speed reduction gear box which incorporates a centrifugal clutch, this means when the engine speed is reduced the brushes stop revolving, a necessary feature when moving from heap to heap.

The Equestrian Powered Brush can also be used for other sweeping tasks e.g. car parks etc. The tow hitch is fitted with a 50mm ball hitch.

The unit has four pneumatic wheels; the collection box is made of strong plastic material, mounted on heavy tubular frame, thus making this a durable machine for many years use.

The brushes are easily changed when they become worn.

Optional extras:

• Clevis hitch
• Ball hitch

Keep your sports and hard surface areas free from debris with this tow-behind hard surface powered sweeper from SCH Supplies.

The sweeper is powered by a 5.5hp Honda engine and fitted with a speed reduction gear box. The brushes are height adjustable so the sweeper can be set with great accuracy to apply the exact level of lightness or firmness you need. Equipped with a centrifugal clutch, the engine speed is reduced when the brushes stop revolving, which is ideal for tight turns at the end of a run. Featuring a working width of 90cm (35½"), the debris is collected into a spacious 270 litre catcher.

A mesh floor is perfect for use on sand-filled or 3g surfaces when you need the sand to pass back onto the surface by passing through the mesh. Stones, twigs and leaves will be retained by the mesh floor. A solid cover to the mesh is also supplied in order that hard surface athletic tracks, tennis courts, etc, can be cleared entirely of even the smallest of debris, including sand.

This collector has been designed specifically by British manufacturer SCH (Supplies) to harvest seeds in wild flower meadows. The brushes are powered by a Honda 5.5hp petrol manual start engine.

The collector drawbar is offset from the pulling vehicle so that the flowers are not flattened before the seeds are collected. The seeds are collected in the integral rear-mounted collection compartment which can easily be emptied via a convenient access door located on the side of the machine. The collected seeds can then be discharged into a bucket or sack by removing the internal drawer.

Featuring a working width of 925mm (37"), the height is adjustable from as low as 150mm (6") up to a maximum of 600mm (24").  A manual hydraulic pump operates a ram mounted at the rear of the unit that allows simple height adjustment.
