New 84-in. Sweeper Offers Better Performance

Sweeper Attachment

Sweeper Attachment

The new 84-in. Bobcat sweeper attachment is designed to provide optimal bristle-to-surface contact, greater sweeping efficiency and reduced maintenance.

The floating bristle head follows surface contours independent of the bucket, providing improved surface contact on slopes for better sweeping consistency. The floating head also offers ideal down-pressure for longer bristle life, thus reducing the number of required bristle adjustments.

The sweeper has a direct-drive motor that increases efficiency and reduces the number of wear parts, resulting in lower maintenance. In addition, a reversible cutting edge lasts twice as long and larger diameter bristles provide longer bristle life than smaller sweeper models.

The new solid-mounted hood limits potential damage to the sweeper caused by aggressive slamming of the hood while cleaning out the sweeper bucket. To accommodate bucket clean out, the bristle head slides up and forward into the cover, creating an opening between the sweeper head and bucket.

An optional wheel kit accessory protects surfaces from scrapes and scratches when the wheels engage the surface by suspending the cutting edge of the sweeper during forward travel. Two mounted caster wheels with gas shocks are included in the kit. If removal of hard-packed mud is required, the gas shocks can be compressed by rolling out the Bob-Tach system and lowering the cutting edge to the surface.

Another option is a gutter brush that cleans hard-to-reach areas.

The new sweeper attachment is approved for use on Bobcat skid-steer loaders (S220 through S300), compact track loaders (T250 and T300) and the A300 all-wheel steer loader.
