Walk-Behind Gas-Powered Rotary Broom
Black gasoline engine mounted on silver tubular frame of 2 push-handles with bright orange cover over rotary broom mounted on the front. Broom bristles are on a horizontal shaft.

With a Walk-Behind Gas-Powered Rotary Broom, one can sweep debris (e.g., dirt, sand, gravel, leaves), snow, water, etc., off most any surface more quickly and with less fear of straining back or shoulders. Being self-propelled and with variable-speed forward/reverse, the machine is controlled via triggers on the handles. The brush head can be pivoted up to 40 degrees in order to sweep the debris in whatever direction the user desires and/or reach into tight, confined areas. The head is also height adjustable to accommodate the type of surface and what's to be removed.
