Dutch outfit Zocon hopes to appeal to yard-proud farmers with its new heavy-duty brush.

Complete galvanising of the Sweeper XL’s frame and bristle shroud should keep it looking fresh long after leaving the factory.

It comes with a range of attachment options, including for a tractor three-point linkage and various loader carriages.

Twin hydraulic motors power the 2.82m-wide brushing unit, which has both height and offset adjustment.

The former is determined by the position of the wheels – two at the back, one up front – while the latter is achieved by moving a heavy rotating ring.

Lighting is also part of the package; an accompanying bucket to harvest debris isn’t, though Zocon does offer the option of fitting an 800-litre collector.

Opting for this ups the price from €9,995 (£8,675) to €12,945 (£11,235).
