- Full details on how to build your own homemade rotary broom for your tractor. No additional motor or engine required. The broom (aka brush) will fit most compact tractors. The video shows the broom installed on my Kubota BX. See more broom sweeping action here: • Homemade rotary broom ...

An awesome combination of ingenuity and practical construction! Good job!
Very cool Bob. I’m thinking of making one to sweep our walnuts to a pile.
That should work.
That is some creative engineering, really enjoyed it. I love the combination of wood and steel and the "we take what we have" philosophy. Hope I can steal some of your ideas for my own future projects
Thanks Tommy and steal away!
Another awesome video Bob! Don’t know how I missed this one! Can’t wait to see some of your newest videos! I’m sure you been working on a lot! Your such an intelligent guy. Your the type of guys I always looked up to my whole life 👍🏻
Very clever! Great job!
Excellent.
My first thought was putting grass clippings/leaves into a bucket or trailer.
Would be good to see if you develop something to do that.

I think it might be a while.
I’m gardening with every possible effort.
But I have saved this video.
I’m using brake discs for spiked angled disc’s to cultivate this year by angling them and allowing the spikes around the edge to move the earth towards the row creating a furrow.
I’m also using a riding lawnmower front tire with spikes 1/4”x20-5 to row up grass clippings to blend in the garden as biomass.
I drill holes through the rounded corner where the sidewalls meet the tread.
The old stiff rubber tire gets predrilled and a 1/4”x20”-5” bolt gets screwed in then the sidewall scrubs on the grass.
The bolts act like sweeps to row the grass clippings.
But then has to be forked into the trailer.
Your idea is much more functional for loading and sweeping in 1 pass.
I think since I’m not going to be actually touching the earth or heavy gravel the brushes would spin easier. ?
@@cody481 I'm not getting a good enough visualization to give any useful answer. Seems to me like you have it under control.
Awesome job and great ingenuity, thanks for sharing the details.
Now that's engineering- looks like my favourite store for the parts P/auto. Well done wow !
Thanks Steve, P/Auto is an intriguing place at times :)
Love it way to go...man I looked into getting a sweeper from John Deere they are nuts for what they want for one of those
This sure is an awesome video & a job well done on your ground driven broom build. I would love to build something like this for my lil John Deers 1025R
Thanks Rodney - check out my new "Magnetic bucket broom" video that I put on a week or so ago. Will put a link up in the description later.
Love it great idea and great job.
Very well done sir, I'm impressed.
Thank you very much!
Great Idea. I have a Honda FG110 mini tiller and want a sweeper broom to sweep my pavers. I could go for the Ryobi but the $150 price tag is too much for basic home cleanups twice a year. I hope to build something similar soon.
Very good idea but I thought it was to bring it into the bucket, anyway you have been great.Nice video
Thanks - maybe into the bucket can be the next phase of the development :)
brilliant!

Thanks!
Paul and Kathy said to subscribe to your channel, you can't get a better recommendation than that. Enjoying your videos and creative mind. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much jim... hope you continue viewing as time goes on. Current project is a novel wind turbine. Hope to get it finished over next few weeks. (Thanks to Paul and Kathy too!)
Good idea
Thanks Shakes!
this idea can be applied to making a weed wiper with carpet drum to improve pastures/hay fields.
Interesting idea
I appreciate this product of diy engineering. Being a prototype, I'm curious if you were able to increase the rpm of the brush drive in later models.
No attempt made to increase rpm of the brush. The unit shown just happened to have a pretty good combo of ground grip and brush rpm so modifying it may be a little futile - but you never now of course.
Genius
Was there any consideration into designing it so it swept everything into the tractors bucket by going in reverse...? That thought occurred to me as I watched. Great design, I may build one...! Nice work, great share...!
No I didn't consider that but might be worth working on. I did think about angling the broom to move the dirt to the side but didn't come up with a suitable solution for that.
again thats bad ass. :) i would like 2 make a pull type rotary broom, & i want 2 put rams on it so i can pick it up & put it down with the hydraulics on my x724. i dont have a FEL.
Sounds like an interesting idea John... Thanks for comment.
Bob Kelland ur welcome. :) ya it is. maybe someday ill get 2 make it. :)
I would make more of the gopro holder.
Do you think a spring instead of turnbuckle would work?
I not getting what you mean.
@@BobKelland
You are using a turnbuckle to keep the tires firmly against each other.
Would a spring from a trampoline work?
I must have 25-30 of those wandering around the barn.
@@cody481 Got ya. Yes if it is strong enough it should work. Anyway worth a try since you have them on hand.
молодец дед, посмотрел я несколько видео, про щетку и другие, в принципе все неплохо получается, так что палец вверх из России тебе
Большое спасибо!
