They do a really good job but don't use the ones without collector near any windows

We are on 1 of these big concreteing jobs and i just thought it would be handy to sweep up abit. Its not something i would use much. Like most of my other stuff. But when you need it!

agree .... anything to make life easier is a good investment, especially at the right sort of price

Got to be better than pushing a broom!!
We used to have a front mounted sweeper on our Tele handler which was very useful.

If it is dry they create a lot of dust and if you have loose stones etc they can be fired out a quite a rate. I have a fixed 6 foot broom to use on the loader or the digger and that does a very good job and no moving parts to go wrong.

What sparked my interest was 1 local advertised at £300 + vat. But obviously i missed it.
Then i saw the 1 I've put up here. I can see the benefit of collecting the material

The bucket brush ones are awesome machines. The ones with a built in collector that carry the material up over the top and deposit it in a hoper like the jcb ones don't collect anywhere near as much

We had one 20+ years ago on the back of our old Ford 3000 (no collector, same sort of setup as the one in your first post Dylan). It did a great job of cleaning the road but fired all of the sweepings into the tractor (and subsequently the operator as it was an open cab!).

We refurbed an old sutton one to go on the Ford 3000 on the farm I use to live on. Seem to remember reversing so it flung the crap into the verge!

This is a Sutton i think. This is the 1 i saw originally.

That looks a bit more modern than the one I used. We bought it well used so did the bearings at either end and a full set of brushes. Iirc they were fairly expensive at the time but lasted if not abused

Well today picked this up, off ebay. Seems to be a brilliant piece of kit. Think it's old but not done anything. It works well.

now you just have to clean up the mess it leaves in the workshop

I wouldn't call it a workshop
This sweeper hasn't got a collector but with the blade on the front it works well.
As long as you've got somewhere to doze the crap. For £450 if it dose a couple of jobs will be worth it. Probably never use it
