60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Rotary Broom
NOTE: X729 Tractor shown with optional BM20753 front-light kit.
The 52-in. (132-cm) Rotary Broom increases tractor versatility by allowing it to be used for a variety of sweeping jobs. The broom effectively meets the needs of commercial, farm, home, and estate operators with four-season versatility:
Spring
The broom can be used to dethatch lawns, and it cleans off tennis courts quickly and effectively.
Summer
The broom effectively performs a wide variety of sweeping jobs, including cleaning sidewalks, parking lots, driveways, construction job sites, and barns. It can also be used for backfilling trenches.
Fall
The broom can be used to sweep leaves and windrow pine needles. It sweeps artificial turf and cleans up spectator areas after sporting events.
Winter
It effectively moves up to 2 in. (5 cm) of snow, which may eliminate the need for a snow thrower, depending on the operator's geographic area.
The 52-in. (132-cm ) Rotary Broom is compatible with X700 Series and 1023E, 1025R, 1026R, model year 2016 and older 2025R and 2032R, 2305-2720, 2210, 4010, 4110, 4115, and 4100 Tractors.
NOTE: If a compact utility tractor is set up for an AutoConnect™ mid-mount mower, the quick-connect drive shaft and rear lift link must be removed from the tractor before installing the rotary broom.
Polypropylene and steel wafers
The broom section is assembled with 32 polypropylene wafers.
NOTE: In certain applications, it may be desirable to equip broom with all or some steel wafers.
Optional steel wafers are available:
Replacement wafers, packaged 16 to a box, can be ordered from Parts.
It is recommended that all 32 wafers be replaced at the same time for even wear.
Wafer bristles have a convoluted design for a good flicking action.
Acme screw and knob for infinite pattern control
An Acme screw and knob is used for infinite control of pattern. It also allows control of the depth of the bristles beyond raising the hitch as bristles wear down or more ground contact is needed.
Shields
The front drive shield provides additional protection against material becoming jammed in the sprocket and chain. The gearbox hood shield hinge and spring provide protection, yet allow convenient access to power take-off (PTO) shafts.
A hood debris deflector is available as an attachment:
Parking stands
Parking stand is standard equipment:
Front quick-hitch mounting system
The broom slips over and locks into the front quick-hitch with attached snap pins:
NOTE: The 60 Rotary Broom requires use of the newer BM19782 front quick-hitch for installation on X Series Tractors. Interference will occur if installed using a BM17347 quick-hitch.
Lever-lock pins and stands help keep broom level when hooking up. They are also used to keep broom weight off of bristles when storing the unit.
Front 3-point hitch with A-frame adapter
Works with a variety of implements
The front 3-point hitch is designed to be a more robust solution for operators who would like to use front implements. This design is the standard in Europe, where the majority of tractors are sold with front hitches. Advantages of a front 3-point hitch over a Quik-Tatch™ style hitch include the following:

NOTE: The front 3-point hitch only works on model year 2017 and newer 2032R, 2038R, 3033R-3046R and 3120-3720 Tractors.
Quik-Tatch front hitch shown with 52 Broom
Hitch slips over and locks onto frame with attached snap-pins:
NOTE:
1) 2305, 2025R 2320, 2520, model year 2016 and older 2032R, 2720, 2210, 4010, 4110, 4115, and 4100 Tractors must be equipped with front-attaching support kit for use with the Quik-Tatch front hitch.
2) If the operator plans to use a Quik-Tatch front hitch with an OnRamp™ Mower (2025R, 2320, 2520, 2032R, 2720, and 4115 only), a front hitch/mid-mower combo bracket will be needed to retain a tool-free change between the front hitch and the mid-mower deck.
Lever lock pins and stands help keep broom level when hooking up. Also used to keep broom weight off of bristles when storing unit.
Hydraulic-angling cylinder
Standard hydraulic angling allows positioning the implement straight ahead or at an angle:
Hydraulic angling cylinder - 3120-3720 CUTs (A)
Hydraulic angling for small-chassis tractors
Standard hydraulic angling allows positioning the broom head straight ahead or angled up to 30 degrees (left or right):
To enable hydraulic angling (shown above), direct mounting frame with pivot cylinder is required:
The power take-off (PTO) shaft has constant velocity U-joints to help minimize driveline vibration when broom is angled.
Broom head can be shifted to the side approximately 2 in. (5 cm) to cover tire tracks when unit is angled 15 degrees.
NOTE:
Front PTO (appearance varies by tractor model)
The front implement is powered by the tractor's 2000-rpm front PTO:
