Neal demonstrates on real fresh snowfall at the Messick's lot, visually comparing plowed versus broomed surfaces, and notes the broom handles up to about four inches and suits walkways, not parking lots. Best for municipal, school, or facility buyers considering a broom attachment, not general tractor shoppers.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment channel, a dealer demonstration aimed at institutional buyers considering this attachment.
Plows and blades move high volumes of snow but leave a fairly poor, messy surface, while a broom gets down to the bare asphalt for a much cleaner result.
A large broom can clear up to about four inches of snow, while smaller brooms are only good for surface dusting.
No, it is not efficient for parking lots since it throws snow less far. It is better suited for walkways and similar areas.
Municipal customers, school districts, hospitals, and retirement communities concerned about slip and fall safety should have a broom in their snow removal arsenal.
