HE Bunce Trailer Road ;weeper is a simple but efficient nachine which can be towed by iny suitable vehicle such as a .and-Rover, dumper truck or ractor. The drive for the rotary irushes is taken from one of the railers road wheels, and sweeps o one side only.
Adjustment of the brush 'eight can be engaged or disngaged by the location of a ,awl in a rachet.
Additional advantages of the .wo-Way Trailer Sweeper are -iat the drive is taken from both oad wheels via oilbath gearloxes and drive shafts and the ,rush can be angled to sweep
o the leftor the right-hand ide.
The Bunce Maxi requires an Igricultural-type tractor with iydraulic lift, three-point inkage and power take-off to iperate it. The advantage of the ito drive from the tractor allows lifferent brush sweeping condiions.
For example, a light deposit vould require a low brush speed ind a higher tractor speed, but or heavy deposits a low gear would give a lower road speed with a higher brush speed.
A mechanical drive from the pto is claimed to give more power than can be obtained from an hydraulic motor.
Castor wheels fitted to the rear of the brushes enable road undulations to be swept clean without any patches being missed. Extras include a 1 80litre (40gal) spray unit and a sweeper collector attachment with a capacity of over 0.1 cum (3cuft).
