The Kubota Advantage

When looking for one of the most versatile attachments on the market, a sweeper may be your answer! Kanlan’s RTV sweepers are quite unique because they harness the RTV’s inherent hydraulic capabilities, which are not available on any other brand of UTV. According to John Valle – account manager for Kanlan – "Many people do not realize the capabilities of the RTV; it is basically a tractor in a UTV’s clothing. One of the greatest things about the RTV is its hydraulic capabilities. The RTV is able to power hydraulic attachments through its own onboard hydraulic pump; in doing so, we can attach things like sweepers, sanders, plows, and sprayers. To operate the sweeper for example, all the operator has to do is to set the hand throttle, lower the sweeper, and drive. The throttle has nothing to do with ground speed, which is the real Kubota advantage".

Sweepers serve as a pure multipurpose attachment and can be operated in any season or environment. They are ideal for moving anything from sand, garbage, leaves, snow, and almost any other unwanted material you could think of. Kanlan Attachments currently offers a line of rotary sweepers for Utility Tractors and the Kubota RTV. Kanlan Sweepers are engineered and manufactured for the professional user by utilizing the latest design and manufacturing processes. All of Kanlan’s sweepers are can be powered by PTO or hydraulically, as is the case with the RTV sweepers.

Sweepers have many uses outside their normal applications. One use is as a lawn dethatcher. Over time, turf and lawns become tight and packed with thatch which will impede the healthy growth of the lawn. One pass with a sweeper and then the lawn is restored to its healthy condition. Other applications include snow removal and winter maintenance. Some customers utilize their sweepers as a first line of defense for snow removal. In fact, many municipalities’ policies are to sweep first, and when the snow gets to deep – plow. Sweeping sidewalks and pathways in the winter is usually a good option. Unlike plowing, sweeping gets right down to the surface eliminating any possibility of ice buildup and liability. A tractor or RTV coupled with a Kanlan sweeper and sander is the ultimate snow fighting machine.

Kanlan, which is rapidly expanding in the United States, has been producing rugged and dependable snow removal and spring cleanup attachments since 1984 for the Canadian municipal market. Within the United States, Kanlan has attracted customers from hospitals, sidewalk maintenance contractors, residential maintenance providers, and educational institutions.
