Updated
Buyers comparing street sweepers options will find the Elgin Broom Bear spec'd as a heavy-duty machine, running a 260hp engine and 30,000 lb operating weight.
Compared against every other street sweepers page on this site, the Elgin Broom Bear's 260hp puts it roughly mid-pack by horsepower among street sweepers models tracked here. By operating weight, it comes in at 14% of the heaviest street sweepers model in this dataset.
The numbers below assume a 60-month $1-buyout capital lease on the $220,000 Broom Bear: $4,502/mo at an estimated 8.25% APR, ending in full ownership rather than a residual payoff. For financing at this level, lenders at this price tier commonly structure the deal with a larger down payment option to bring the monthly payment down further. Across the full 60-month term, total payments come to $270,148 — about $50,148 above the $220,000 cash price, which is the real cost of financing instead of paying up front.
At an estimated $4,502/month, this ranks #6 of 7 by estimated payment among currently priced street sweepers models — 23% above the street sweepers average of $3,657/mo.
Stacked together, Section 179 and 2026's 100% bonus depreciation mean the $220,000 price tag here isn't necessarily spread across years on a tax return -- a profitable business placing this asset in service this year could write off the full amount immediately, though the real dollar benefit depends on the buyer's tax bracket and total equipment spend for the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the estimated monthly payment for a financed Elgin Broom Bear?
An estimated $4502.47/month over 60 months at a base APR of 8.25%, including a $750.00 doc/origination fee.
Does the estimated payment change based on credit score?
Yes. The calculator above has 5 credit tiers, each adjusting this machine's 8.25% base APR: Subprime 12.75%, Fair 10.75%, Good 8.25%, Very Good 7.50%, Prime 6.75%. "Good" is the default tier shown; drag the slider to see the exact payment at your tier.
Is the Elgin Broom Bear eligible for a Section 179 tax deduction?
Yes. Under the 2026 Section 179 cap of $2,560,000, qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the full purchase price in the year it's placed in service, subject to CPA verification.
Does 100% bonus depreciation apply to a financed Elgin Broom Bear?
Bonus depreciation was restored to 100% for equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025, and it applies more broadly than Section 179 -- it isn't capped by the $2,560,000 Section 179 limit and generally isn't affected by a business's Section 179-eligible income limit. Financing rather than paying cash doesn't disqualify a purchase from this: the full $220,000 placed-in-service cost is typically what counts, not the amount actually paid that year. Confirm applicability with a CPA before filing.
What's the total cost of financing this Elgin Broom Bear versus paying cash?
Over the full 60-month term, estimated payments total $270,148 -- about $50,148 more than the $220,000 cash price. That difference is the estimated cost of financing (interest plus the $750.00 doc fee) rather than paying up front.
How much would a down payment lower the monthly payment on this Elgin Broom Bear?
Putting 10% down ($22,000 on this Elgin Broom Bear) reduces the estimated payment from $4,502/mo to roughly $4,054/mo at the same 8.25% estimated APR -- a real reduction, since a down payment lowers the amount actually financed rather than just the sticker price.
