60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Rotary Broom shown on 1M 25 Tractor
The 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty 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.
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.

Casters provide a quick response, allowing the head to float and follow the terrain. The broom head also articulates for undulating terrain.
An adjustable, threaded rod allows the broom to float and follow the terrain.
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
Front 3-point hitch with A-frame adapter
The 60-in (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Rotary Broom is mounted using either a front quick-hitch or a front 3-point hitch. Both hitch systems feature fast and tool-free installation, removal, and the ability to share the broom’s hitch with a front blade or snow blower.
