Abstract: A pick-up broom attachment for use with a work vehicle that includes a hood assembly, a bucket portion, and a water spray bar. The hood assembly includes a housing, a rotatable brush of generally cylindrical profile mounted for rotation, and a drive motor coupled to the housing for rotating the rotatable brush. The bucket portion is in coupled engagement behind and with the hood assembly and includes: a collection bin defined by a bottom bucket panel, a pair of side bucket panel members, and a rear bucket wall; an internal water tank located in a cavity in the bucket portion located rearward of the rear bucket wall; and a back panel located rearward of the internal water tank that includes implement interface members for connecting with a work vehicle. The water spray bar is mounted to the housing of the hood for delivering water in front of the hood assembly.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a grading blade disposed between a pair of holders. An adjusting mechanism is rigidly attached to the grading blade. A threaded connector is used to adjust the vertical position of the grading blade. Each holder is attached to a rear portion of a utility bucket, e.g., by welding. A plurality of gussets are attached to one of the holders and to the utility bucket, thereby providing further attachment and supported to the present grading assembly. The grading blade may be rotated, thereby using each of a pair of grading edges as desired. Moreover, the grading blade may be detached and repaired or replaced. When installed on a utility bucket, the present grading assembly allows precision grading to be conducted when driving in both forward and rearward directions.

Abstract: An improved U-Blade implement, in one preferred embodiment, having fixed trailing and leading earth-piercing points on its U-shaped blade, integrated with support arms and a back plate. The back plate is generally planar, with a rear side of the back plate configured for attachment to a motorized vehicle, such as a skid steer.
