HARPER INDUSTRIES FEATURED ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL
May 14, 2010

Harper, KS - Harper Industries, Inc. is making history, the History Channel that is. Harper’s innovative self-propelled sweeper/vacuum will be featured on "Sliced", a new show on the History Channel Thursday, May 20, 9PM CST. The host, John McCalmont, will slice open the TV30 with power tools to see how it is constructed, how it works and what it takes to get inside the machine. The TV30 will be "sliced" along with other golf equipment including golf balls, a golf club and a golf cart. The TV30 is not only used for maintaining golf courses but also in parks, parking lots, and all types of sports fields. The TV30 features the patented Recirculating Air System for a cleaner, greener clean up.

TV 30 Diesel now Available
April 2, 2010

Equipped with its own powerful 44HP Turbo charged Kubota diesel engine and 3.25 cubic yard hopper, Harper Industries new TV30 Diesel Self-Propelled Vac offers maneuverability that simply can’t be attained with a tow vehicle and a pull-type unit. Yet, it provides the same Recirculating Air System performance as our towed models. The TV30 units also offer a new level of adaptability, thanks to a line of attachments including a standard-equipment 60-inch sweeper brush; optional rubber finger attachment for raking tall grass and a verti-cut option that performs two jobs in one pass. The hopper lifts to a height of six feet 3 inches to dump directly into a cart or waste dumpster, avoiding the need to handle material twice.

July 27 , 2009

Due to some extremely heavy snow and ice on March 28, a portion of the original weld shop at Harper Industries (HII) collapsed.

This structure will be built over the area that collapsed as well as what was left standing, then the old building infrastructure will be removed. HII was planning on improving this area in the near future, it will just be done sooner thanks to Mother Nature.

HARPER INDUSTRIES RECEIVES AE 50 AWARD FOR ATM 162
July 2008

The American Society for Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ASABE), at its national conference in Providence, Rhode Island on June 30, awarded Harper Industries with one of its annual AE 50 awards for exceptional design innovation for Harper’s ATM (All Terrain Mower) 162.  Other companies honored included John Deere, Case New Holland and Agco.

The ATM 162 is a three wheel drive version of Harper’s popular, but smaller, ATM 72LC.  The 162 has a 13.5 foot cut width that mows slopes up to 34 degrees with safety and comfort.  The unit is all hydraulically driven and comes complete with a climate controlled cab.  It is powered by a 99 hp Cummins diesel.  Heber Ramer, Harper’s chief engineer states  “To be an integral part of the interdisciplinary team that developed the ATM 162 was tremendously rewarding for me. We combined the knowledge of hydraulics, electricity, safety, operator comfort and productivity into a unit that takes hillside mowing several steps forward.”

Thus far, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is the largest user of ATM 162s, with units located in Garden City, Chanute, Iola & Pittsburg, Hutchinson, and Norton.  KDOT was involved with Harper In the design phase of this project and assisted with testing of some of the early prototypes.  The City of Harper maintenance crew also assisted in the testing phase of the ATM 162.

Bret Walker, Harper Industries’ Turf Territory Manager, states “There is no other machine out there that is as efficient and safe as our 162.  It transfers the weight of the machine into the hillside allowing extreme slope mowing while still possessing the ability to outperform the conventional tractor and bat-wing application.  With a 99 horse power Cummins engine and fully integrated hydraulic system, the ATM 162 delivers efficient and safe mowing for all extreme slope applications.” 

SELF PROPELLED SWEEPER/VACUUM
December 2008

Equipped with its own powerful 38 HP Kohler engine and 3.25-cubic-yards hopper, the new TV30 Self-Propelled Sweeper offers maneuverability that simply can’t be attained with a tow vehicle and a pull-type unit. Yet, it provides the same Recirculating Air System performance as our towed models.

The TV 30 also offers a new level of adaptability, thanks to a line of attachments that includes a standard-equipment 60-inch sweeper brush; an optional rubber-finger attachment for raking tall grass, and a verti-cut option that performs two jobs in one pass. The hopper even lifts to a height of six feet to dump directly into a cart or waste dumpster - avoiding the need to handle material twice.

You'll also appreciate the easy-to-access operator platform that sits ahead of the sweeper for maximum visibility and a cleaner environment. Hydrostatic drive gives you precise management of ground speed, while joystick control, tilt steering and a wrap-around console further add to operator comfort.
