Mr. Jeff Grosso illustrates the sweeper.





...................A friend asked me what a sweeper was, I think this photo defines it perfectly. (The results on Google images are very disappointing, unless you like cleaning equipment.) In the days before caring, a bad ass ripper could clear anything unwanted off the platform of their ramp with a maneuver like this. What a wonderful thing-- if you have ever stuck one, even on a two foot mini ramp, you know how good it feels. A leap of faith.
