The hydraulically driven spinner broadcasts salt, sand, or a salt-sand mix at adjustable rates. A common pairing with a snow pusher for Canadian commercial winter maintenance contracts.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You apply sand or salt to icy or snowy surfaces as part of a snow removal contract
- You want a single attachment that works on a skid steer you already own
⛔ Skip if…
- You cover large distances — a dedicated spreader truck covers ground faster
- You spread liquid de-icer — these are dry material spreaders only
🔍 Also consider…
- Snow pusher if your primary task is pushing, not spreading
- A tow-behind spreader if a skid steer isn't your primary vehicle for this task
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect broom fill length after every 20 hours of use — bristles below minimum length drag rather than sweep, waste time, and mask the fact that you need a replacement
- Clean debris wrapped in the drum core after every extended session — wire, hair, and root cause drum imbalance and stress the hydraulic motor bearings
- Grease drum bearing end caps monthly during active use periods
- Check hydraulic motor connections and angle cylinder fittings weekly — broom motors work hard and connection fittings loosen over time
- Store on end or off the ground so bristle fill doesn't take a permanent set under drum weight — brooms stored drum-down develop flat spots in the fill that affect sweep quality
How to Connect
- Attach broom frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for rotation motor
- Verify rotation direction (forward-sweep or reverse-sweep per job)
- Adjust broom angle if applicable — most have manual tilt adjust
⚠ Safety NoteBrooms are typically standard-flow (10-18 GPM). Angle brooms can swivel — set angle before engaging rotation.
