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.

I bought this leaf sweeper for my husband because we have 13 acres 2 of which gets mowed. Of the 2 acres that we mow we have 12 oak trees and several others. Now that our snow is gone my husband hooked it up to see if it would pick up all the matted down leaves and it did!! Bonus is it picked up all the acorns too!!! He absolutely loves this thing! Now he wants the J.D. roller!! I highly recommend the leaf sweeper!!

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

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.

With five acres raking was not an option. This thing is the solution. Had a “made in China” sweeper that fell apart immediately. This thing works great and I suspect will last for many years.

Seems to work well, though I've only had time to use it once and leaves were dry. I'd be curious whether it picks up wet leaves well. Assembly was decently easy, and instructions were pretty good. The main frame arrived slightly bent--I intend to try to straighten it with 2x4s and clamps--doesn't seem to affect performance, thankfully. The main design flaw is the dump handle. I find I need to get down from the seat on my x758 to be able to use it (too short and too low).

Works good. No complaints.

Works well picking up everything grass sticks leaves and such. But the only issue is that the bag comes off the hook occasionally if you hit a bump.
