[Rileywein18]

These are neat.Where I am from,all they have are truck mounted eagles.

[fredcarter00]

Then you have a broombear. Where I come from we have a Pelican that is cream colored.

In my city it takes 6 of them in a row. + 3 trackless MT's. And a water truck lol

[metalkanin]

Takes two machines to do one machine's job. That's how you know it's an Elgin.

What Ever... We make 2 rounds per street either way and sometimes on the street it is faster to do 1 round but have 2 sweepers on the street. Do you run a street sweeper?

[Soamsey]

Out of interest, do these things clean anything up or just move dirt around, leaving piles of dirt deposited in the low points? From what I've seen, after they pass, it isn't clear they've done any good.

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Does it make that whining noise whenever get up to speed?

I see ya'll've got more than one. :D

[sweepnict]

Ya all of the hydraulics making that sound.. Yes we have 2 of the newer models 4 of the older models and a Elgin Eagle...We have also had in the past (Junkstons) aka johnstons and a Elgin Geo vac....By far the best sweeper I have ran is the Pelcian!

[flybyu26]
