Yes. Haven' t managed to break it yet. Prefer it to the rotary brush. It doesn't throw the dirt over the tractor and is easier to hook on and off.

We've a Broomex.
Got it about a year ago, 2.4m wide think it was £1350.

It came with sleeves for forklift tines, we use it on a Loadall so welded on a set of JCB brackets, old man is 76 and wont jump out to pin on the sleeves, hence the brackets. The only issues with that is he tends to push it down too hard for my liking. I use it with the boom suspension on so it floats a bit.

Ours is used mostly outside tidying up mud etc in the winter, works great if its really wet, preferably pissing rain. If half dry its a curse and trails stuff everywhere, and the bristles block up.
Have used it inside sheds while washing out and sweeping up grain, so stick by the soaking wet or bone dry theory.

Sweep to a wall and then scoop up with the bucket.
Before the brackets were added

I've got a 2.4m plant-mec (?) brush. No excuse to keep the place tidy now as its so easy to drop on and off. Far better than a rotary brush. Think mine was about £1200.

I hot a 8 foot one from ablijo attachments a few years ago. Mostly use it on industrail forklift for dry sweeping grain stores.
Was a lot cheaper than sweepex etc but has less rows of bristles.
