    WE ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A NEW SWEEPER FOR DEBRIS REMOVAL. IF ANYONE HAS ANY HELPFUL INSIGHT ON FEATURES THEY MAY LIKE MORE THAN OTHERS IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO US IN MAKING OUR DECISION. WE ARE INTERESTED IN USING THE MACHINE FOR FLOOD DEBRIS AND FAIRWAY AERIFICATION CLEANUP.

    I've used 2 sweepers, the one from Toro and the SmithCo V62 sweepstar.

    Smithco is pretty nice will pick up a ton however you have to drive the sweeper to the dump site.

    The Toro dump lifts so you can empty it into another Workcart and keep sweeping while someone else dumps.

    Smithco is self contained, engine an all just needs a vehicle to pull it.

    Toro needs the hi-flow hydraulic kit to run it. I would much rather have a Toro sweeper so I could dump into another Workman and keep sweeping. Also SmithCo parts are expensive we broke the throttle cable and paid about $160 for a new one.
