Just looking for some general info. I don't have the info yet on the make/ model, but I have a chance to buy one. Does anybody have any experience with one? What features makes one more desirable than another? Wear items to look for? Anyone ever use one for unconventional uses, something other that sweeping concrete? Anybody love or hate theirs? Thanks for any information.
 
No, I've never owned one, but I remember them being used on road construction jobs many years ago. The contractors quickly moved to front or belly mounted brooms. You didn't state your plans for this sweeper. On road work, it was a real dust devil. Some contractors modified the engine air intake so it was picking up air from higher above the tractor. I always felt sorry for both the tractor and the operator. Travelling upwind, the dust got away from you, but travelling with the wind was pure misery for man and machine.
 
Don't know if one like your talking about would do it, but I saw a landscape guy using a hand held brush cutter /weed eater with about a 2 ft. wide broom attachment. on it to sweep stones back in the driveway after the snowplow had pushed them onto the lawn

That's funny, this is one thought I'd had
