I know afew of you have one.. I’m considering one as my new yard is all concrete, eventually I’ll pick one up for the Telehandler but in the meantime a decent boom broom will do, so what do you all have?

we had a sweepex that we used on jcb teletruck it was a great tool ours was only maybe 5 feet wide , good for what we used it for sweeping a tar and concrete yard the frame would need to be heavier for tele-handler than ours was . It just fitted on the forks with check chains to hold it on but there are loads on the market now but as concept they work great.
I have been told that if you get one on a QR backplate / frame they can be too heavy as it bends the bristles when you park it up unless you tip it on its front so maybe worth thinking about

I have always thought they would be a useful addition to the kit but some of the prices make my eyes water!!

Don't complain - suggest what's better
I've got one similar to this:
Has a head welded in the middle so I can pick it up with my excavator, but mainly use it on the loader as it is faster. Does a great job. Only thing I would change is you can get ones with a rubber scraper blade on one side which would be handy for those really stubborn bits.

I want one but will have to wait till my shed is wired up and I need a mag drill first. It's got to be one of the easier attachment's to make.

I guess the main thing is buying one with a easily replaceable brush section.. otherwise it’s pretty much a throwaway item!

Every one I`ve seen, has the bristles on long strips that slide in from the end.
