I've had a ton of paving done over the last two summers. So mother was asking me for Christmas ideas for 'stuff' I would need. I was thinking a PTO mount sweeper. But I think the choices for them are few and far between.
For skid steers there are a hundred different options.
Does anyone have a PTO sweeper on their tractor ?

Sweeper broom would be nice while I don't have any paved drive I do have a lot of roads and parking areas that get covered with leaves and pine straw. My roads get well packed and this option may could be used to keep them clean.

I opted for a Little Wonder parking lot blower and a Echo back pack blower to keep them clean. The two also double for blowing a lot of leaves into a natural area I have, blowing leaves into the garden to disk in, keeping the shooting range free of debris and many more chores. It is good exercise as well pushing the blower around, used it Thursday to blow off all my roads and pile up the first of the leaves that have fallen.

The blower was not cheap but it has made cleaning up the leaves a much easier task. Before I use my land plane to level my roads I push the blower down them to remove the pine straw as I have found that if not removed it clogs up the flow of my gravel out the bag of the plane.

Good luck finding a solution for your needs.

I had done a google search but didn't see the MB website. Thanks for posting that. I'll check to see pricing.

Does your loader have SSQA? How many GPM does the skidsteer sweeper need to run, and how many GPM does your tractor put out?
