- The center pivot pin is 1-1/2" OD 4140 hardened solid
rod. It is supported by two brass bushings and is
serviceable with a grease nipple.
- The broom hood is formed from 12-gauge steel plate.
- The broom head side plates are constructed from 1/4"
laser cut steel plate.

Connecting to your Toro Mower Ball Socket & Wedge Plate Mount
- The broom connects to the mower tractor using the
same ball sockets as the mower. The broom is then further
secured to the lift arms of the mower by means of two wedge
plates and bolts. These wedge plates ensure the center frame
is kept secure and level which is crucial for superior broom
operation and performance. The mount plates and the center
pivot frame are built using 3/16" and 3/8" laser cut steel plate.
- The broom is powered by two PTO shafts that are connected
by an idler shaft-bearing assembly. Our revolutionary PTO Shaft & Idler Shaft Assembly
design reduces the shaft angles helping to dramatically reduce
vibration and improve performance. All PTO shafts and the
bearing assembly components are serviceable with grease
nipples.
- The broom comes complete with two hose clamps brackets
and hoses with couplers. The brackets and hose clamps
ensure excellent hose management for easy attachment
change over. Hose Assembly with Brackets
Bristles & Spindle
- The broom can be hydraulically angled 30 degrees in both
directions and is powered by a 2" hydraulic ram. Ram angle
speed is controlled by a needle valve.
- The ram has a 1" shaft and is connected to the pivot frame
with 1" diameter pins and is serviceable.
- The broom uses a 24" diameter poly bristle with a 6-3/8"
ID core.
- The bristles are mounted on a Tri-Drive Spindle. The Tri-Drive Tri-Drive Spindle
Spindle is fabricated using 14-gauge steel and is suspended
by two 1-1/2" shafts and is assembled using a CNC lathe table
to ensure excellent balance. This dramatically reduces broom
vibration and increases performance and durability.
- The Tri-Drive Spindle is attached to the broom head frame
side plates with two 1-1/2" heavy duty serviceable flange
bearings.
