Feed Bunk Sweeper for Skid Steer | Hydraulic Motor Drive | Heavy-Duty Poly Bristles | Maxx Attachments

When your cattle's feed bunks are clogged with leftover feed, snow, or debris, your livestock can't access the nutrition they need. The Feed Bunk Sweeper from Maxx Attachments transforms this labor-intensive chore into a quick, efficient task that saves your back and gets the job done right.

Built specifically for skid steers and small wheel loaders, this sweeper attachment features a high-torque, low-speed hydraulic motor that drives a heavy-duty poly bristle broom. The 10-inch inner diameter by 36-inch outer diameter brush head provides the perfect balance of coverage and maneuverability for most feed bunk applications.

What sets this sweeper apart is its versatility and adjustability. The manually adjustable arm works with virtually any bunk configuration, while the support arm's telescoping boom adds flexibility for different bunk sizes and machine setups. Whether you're dealing with concrete bunks, metal feed troughs, or custom installations, this attachment adapts to your specific needs.

The heavy-duty poly bristles are designed to handle all feed conditions without damaging bunk surfaces. Unlike metal brushes that can scratch or gouge, these poly bristles effectively remove packed feed, snow, and debris while protecting your investment in feed bunk infrastructure.

Beyond livestock applications, this sweeper excels in rail maintenance and cleaning operations. Railroad professionals rely on this attachment for track sweeping and maintenance tasks where precision and durability matter. The same features that make it perfect for feed bunks translate directly to industrial cleaning applications.

Forge Claw distributes this premium Maxx Attachments sweeper nationwide to contractors, farmers, ranchers, and industrial operators who demand reliable performance. At 630 pounds, it provides substantial cleaning power while remaining manageable for most skid steer and compact wheel loader operators.

The hydraulic drive system eliminates the complexity and maintenance requirements of PTO-driven units. Your machine's standard auxiliary hydraulic circuit powers the sweeper, making installation and operation straightforward. No additional hydraulic connections or modifications are required on most modern skid steers and compact loaders.

This isn't just another attachment that sits in your equipment yard. It's a practical tool that addresses real problems livestock and industrial operators face daily. Clean feed bunks mean better feed utilization, healthier animals, and reduced waste. Clean rail lines mean safer operations and reduced maintenance costs.

The telescoping boom feature deserves special attention because it solves a common problem with fixed-arm sweepers. Different machines have different reach capabilities, and bunk configurations vary significantly between operations. The telescoping design ensures you can position the brush head exactly where it needs to be for optimal cleaning performance.

Maxx Attachments engineered this sweeper for commercial use, not occasional weekend projects. The motor, bristles, and structural components are built to withstand the daily demands of agricultural and industrial operations. When you're dealing with frozen feed in winter conditions or caked-on debris in summer heat, this attachment performs consistently.

The poly bristle construction offers another significant advantage over traditional brush materials. These bristles maintain their shape and cleaning effectiveness across a wide temperature range, from sub-zero winter conditions to hot summer operations. They won't become brittle in cold weather or lose their stiffness in heat.

Installation typically takes less than an hour with basic tools and mechanical knowledge. The universal mounting plate design fits standard skid steer quick-attach systems, and the hydraulic connections are straightforward. Most operators can have this attachment working the same day it arrives.

For operations running multiple machines, this sweeper's adaptability means one unit can work across your entire fleet. The adjustable arm and telescoping boom accommodate different machine sizes and operator preferences without requiring separate attachments for each machine.

Time savings represent the most immediate benefit for busy operators. What once required hand scraping, shoveling, and multiple trips can now be completed in a fraction of the time. Most operators report reducing feed bunk cleaning time by 75% or more compared to manual methods.

Your physical workload decreases dramatically when you eliminate the need to manually scrape and shovel feed bunks. Back strain, repetitive motion injuries, and fatigue become non-issues when you can clean bunks from the comfort of your machine's cab. This benefit alone justifies the investment for many operators.

Feed utilization improves when bunks stay clean and accessible. Cattle consume more of their allocated feed when they can easily reach it, reducing waste and improving feed conversion ratios. The economic impact of better feed utilization typically pays for the attachment within the first year of operation.

Consistent cleaning schedules become achievable when the process is quick and easy. Regular bunk maintenance prevents the buildup of spoiled feed and debris that can harbor harmful bacteria and reduce feed palatability. Your livestock stay healthier, and you avoid the expense and hassle of treating preventable health issues.

The poly bristle construction delivers long-term durability that metal brushes can't match. These bristles resist wear, maintain their shape over thousands of cleaning cycles, and don't damage concrete or metal bunk surfaces. Replacement costs stay low, and your bunks last longer without gouges or scratches.

Versatility extends the attachment's value beyond feed bunk cleaning. When you need to clean equipment yards, sweep rail lines, or tackle other debris removal tasks, this same attachment handles the job. One tool serves multiple purposes, maximizing your return on investment.

Weather independence means you can maintain clean bunks year-round. Snow removal becomes routine rather than a major undertaking, and frozen feed buildup clears away efficiently. Your feeding schedule stays consistent regardless of weather conditions, supporting steady animal performance.

This sweeper works best for cattle operations, dairy farms, feedlots, and ranch operations with conventional feed bunk designs. It's equally effective for rail maintenance crews, industrial cleaning operations, and contractors who need reliable debris removal capability. The telescoping boom makes it particularly valuable for operations with multiple bunk configurations or varying machine sizes.

Most modern skid steers and compact wheel loaders provide adequate hydraulic flow and pressure for optimal operation. Check your machine's auxiliary hydraulic specifications to ensure compatibility, though standard systems typically exceed the sweeper's requirements. The low-speed motor design minimizes hydraulic demands while maximizing cleaning effectiveness.

Operating technique influences cleaning results significantly. Start with light contact and increase pressure as needed rather than forcing the brush against packed debris. The rotating action works more effectively than static pressure, so keep the brush moving steadily along the bunk surface. Allow the bristles to do the work rather than relying solely on machine weight.

Maintenance requirements are minimal but important for long-term performance. Regular greasing of the telescoping boom components prevents binding and ensures smooth adjustment. Inspect hydraulic connections periodically for leaks, and check bristle condition monthly during heavy use periods. The poly bristles typically last multiple seasons with proper operation, but replacement is straightforward when needed.
