Anyone using the Frontier SW21 Rotary Broom

[hpc]

Hi All,

I traded-in my Grasshopper front-mount for a Deere 997. The Grasshopper had
the rotary broom which was an absolute killer for light-to-medium snow
removal. It would beat my 3520 anytime for doing snow removal UNLESS
you needed a FEL.

Have thought about the front-mount rotary broom for the 3520, but flipping
back-and-forth between the A-cradle mount and the FEL looks like a major pain.

Spotted the Frontier SW21 broom which mounts on the FEL arms. Looks
like the monster of brooms. Price is a real deal breaker though, $11K+ vs.
$5K for the A-cradle.

Is anyone using the SW21 and if so, would you mind posting your thoughts?

Cheers!

The other downside other than the $$$ is all the equipment on you 3-point hitch...:thumbsup:

Nice thing is you can get a dethatching kit and a water kit...
