Thats a nice and tidy sweeper there. Rosco makes a great sweeper. Dad ran one as a kid the company he worked for had 3 self propelled ones and several that were powerdriven towed models, and then they also had several that were towed ground drive models.

The 4th District county here changed supervisor and he sold the old road equipment. I gave 500 for and older Terrain King They said the motor was locked up and it wouldnt pull itself. I raised the hood before the sale and it had tiny lawn mower battery I looked under it and there was a hydraulic line leaking. I bought it for the 500 dollars figuring I could use the hydraulics from it. I borrowed a roll off truck and flat tray from work and I hauled it to work. I borrowed the battery from my old 3550 TLB and a little bleeding it fired up. I fixed the oil leak and replaced a bent rim. I did a sweep up of silt on a parking lot and debris and made double my money back on it. The only thing is its super fast. I think it runs about 25 or 30 mph. Its been roughed up before as the supervisor often used unskilled help. Its also alot of machinery to take on one job 2 times larger than the skid steer. Im thinking about parting it out and using the hydraulics on a compost windrower for the farm. I could then take the brush and make it fit my skid steer.
