      It’s a small portion of the dirt, maybe 5% falls through the cracks. It isn’t a perfectly sealed system - you’re just using brushes to flick it onto a conveyor. It won’t all go 100% in the exact direction you want it to, some will fall through, especially at he edges. The second sweeper is supposed to get whatever’s missed. We use a lot of sand throughout the winter here, so for us, we usually have a minimum three sweepers on a crew during spring clean up. And at times, that isn’t even enough

    One thing they didnt mention is the fact they are right hand driven like a british car, for obvious reasons the driver can see the kerb better. And in the uk the opposit is obviously true. I only noticed the other day.

      I wanna say that this seems like a strange use of the word "obvious" considering that you "only noticed it the other day". Your sentence does make sense because you are saying the reason it was designed that way is obvious; clearly the driver can see the curb better if on the right side. I just feel since you had to point it out, that would mean it isn't obvious. I just feel the sentence doesn't need that in there. I'm not sure lol. There's my one RUclips comment for the year haha have a good day! 🙂✌

      I sweep for a municipality. We have those guys. I'm not one of them. Most of us go slow enough when needed to get the job done

    Has anyone converted their lawn mower deck to a road sweeper.Saw a few pictures of someone changing the 2 mower blades for brushes and putting in a water tank with hoses pouring water into the 2 brushes.Was wondering how it would work.

    Growing up in suburban Los Angeles in the 60s I remember street sweepers coming by the house. Haven't seen one in decades though.

    Is it possible for these to hold tiny pebbles/rocks in the brushes after a job? I was behind one on the freeway and heard a bunch of tiny pebbles hitting my car…
