I see all these skid steer sweepers for cheap lately. Is something like this out of reach for a compact tractor? I really don't know beans about them. All I know is my hydraulic system is rated at 8.5 GPM total / 5.9 implement. In my world I have 3-400 feet of pavement and if I could put one on in place of the bucket, snap a couple hoses in the rear remotes, I'd use it. If I bought a larger one and cut the brush down?

You won't be able to run one of those off the tractor hydraulics, but you can add a PTO pump to do it. Here is my build of one of these:

I'm going to start this thread a bit ahead of time so I can actually get input along the way rather than just showing finished pics as there are some areas I am less certain of. I have started taking apart bits of it but probably won't get seriously into it until Spring/early summer when it...
