Snow Sweeping snow -- the Kubota 2010 calendar

[huckflynn]

I was looking through the Kubota 2010 calendar and December surprised me a bit -- a BX1850 with a broom attachment, turf tires and no chains. It seems like a pretty snowy setting. Nice looking equipment -- just doesn't seem matched to the situation.

Anyway, finding the picture was timely. It shows the hook up of the quick hitch hydraulics and I was just about to go exploring. My quick hitch didn't have the newer color schemed dust caps. It was still carrying the identifications for hooking it up to my old BX2200. The dealer installed it last winter after converting the fittings to the BX2660 and he left the old identifiers on the lines.

A couple local ski resorts use their rotary broom attachments to clear the sidewalks, etc. It really seems to work well at keeping the snow/ice out of all the nooks & crannys in the sidewalks, etc.

I think it's only good for a couple inches of snow though.
