John Deere Worksite Pro BR72 Rotary Broom
Overview
The BR72 is a 72-inch rotary broom — a step up in capacity from the BR60 while staying in the lighter-weight rotary category at 950 lb. It suits mid-frame skid steers sweeping medium-size lots, construction sites, and agricultural applications where material needs to move in one direction and side-casting is acceptable. No hydraulic angle adjustment means lower operating complexity and cost compared to the BA72 angle broom. The tradeoff: the operator repositions the machine to change sweep direction rather than adjusting the broom on the fly. Best on sites with a consistent sweeping pattern.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You need a fast, wide sweep of light debris on open hard surfaces
- Speed and coverage area matter more than containment
Skip if
- You need the debris to go a specific direction — a rotary broom's discharge is less directional than an angle broom
- Fine material on wet surfaces may not clear as effectively
Also consider
- Angle broom for directional sweeping and windrow control
- Pickup broom if material collection matters
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect broom fill length after every 20 hours of use — bristles below minimum length drag rather than sweep, waste time, and mask the fact that you need a replacement
- Clean debris wrapped in the drum core after every extended session — wire, hair, and root cause drum imbalance and stress the hydraulic motor bearings
- Grease drum bearing end caps monthly during active use periods
- Check hydraulic motor connections and angle cylinder fittings weekly — broom motors work hard and connection fittings loosen over time
- Store on end or off the ground so bristle fill doesn't take a permanent set under drum weight — brooms stored drum-down develop flat spots in the fill that affect sweep quality
How to Connect
- Attach broom frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for rotation motor
- Verify rotation direction (forward-sweep or reverse-sweep per job)
- Adjust broom angle if applicable — most have manual tilt adjust
