I've got one that the squeegee is useless on it and the broom isn't much better.Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:51:17 GMTFarmermomhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic12404-5-1.aspxTypically when you buy one of those tools that is a combination, they are mediocre at performing either job, but I am happy to say that I recently bought a Harper Barn broom that had a squeegee attached to the top of the broom. I figured I would give it a try.<br><br>On the dairy farm we use only squeegees but the manure is very liquid. My sheep however give me manure in convenient, dry pellets. Man was I surprised at how well the squeegee works. I am forever dealing with a sheep quarantined due to foot rot, and I'll be darned if that squeegee doesn't push the manure right out of the way. Then with a twist, I sweep up what remains and I have a super clean floor in a matter of minutes...no spraying with water to get everything cleaned up.<br><br>This last part is important because water only allows nasty bacteria to spread. Reducing water reduces contamination.<br><br>So while it seems silly, I highly recommend Harper brooms with the squeegee on them. Its just one of those little purchases that make farm life so much faster and easier!Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:41:07 GMTDrawbar
