tractortim Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 really depends what you want to put it on my boss tried to mount one ion an old ford and it couldn't keep up with the hydraulic demand in the wet would go all day on dry dusty stuff but struggled after muck spreading was changed to a pto driven one which was better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Suton make them with the brackets on top of the bucket and direct drive to shaft. They normally have a 'special' offer on at the Cereals event for about £1000 for an 8 foot brush. I demoed one recently which worked very well but had 50/50 wire & nylon bristles - apparently wire not recommended if you are using it for grain or livestock areas. The bucket is running on the ground all the time with associated wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have wire in our brush why's it not reccomended? incase it gets into the grain maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
