John Deere 44-inch Tow Behind Lawn Sweeper - LP49038

have been sweeping 2 yards with this sweeper for over 6 years,with one of the yards having 32 trees in it.Have only had to replace the pick up brushes once.it is still doing a very good job. would definiteiy will get another one if we ever need to.

I was looking for a mulcher to collect grass clippings and leaves for my compost pile when I came across this sweeper. I'm one of those guys who's always looking to save a nickel but I realized that a rake and a lot of elbow grease to cover 3 acres wasn't going to cut it (pun intended). So... I bought the sweeper and after 4 uses, I'm really glad I did. I live in rocky terrain and there are parts of my property where a sweeper will bring up more pea gravel than compost friendly material so the easy brush height adjuster really comes in handy. Dumping is a cinch and I can easily empty a load without leaving the seat of my X-350 by using the bag release handle. If there is one negative so far, it would be the hitch area. There are 2 metal plates that bolt together using lock nuts forming the "Y" shape that attaches to the tongue of my tractor hitch. I have to retorque these after every use because they inevitably get knocked out of wack (rocky hilly terrain again...). Other than that, this a great accessory that allowed me to compromise between spending $'s and elbow grease to get the job done.

Sweeps well enough but the cleavis pins keep falling out and they are not easy to find to replace.

Works good. No complaints.

Used the sweeper for the first time today and it did a amazing job. Picked everything up in 1 pass. Easy to put together and a heavy duty, well built and thought out machine. Works perfect.
