Rotary Angle Broom                                                         RAB-3280D

                                                                     Fits Toro Groundsmaster 3280D


        Commercial Grade Construction
        - The main pivot and mount frames are contructed from
          1/4" and 3/8" laser cut steel.
        - 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.
        - The broom head side plates are connected with a 2-1/2"
          square tube with a 1/4" wall.

        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.
                                                                                     Bristles Mounted on Tri-Drive Spindle
