Large capacity and efficient
I bought this sweeper 2 weeks ago to maintain my 1.5 acre lawn with numerous large trees which took me days of back breaking labor to clean up every fall racking and hauling leaves with a cart behind my garden tractor..

Lawn sweeper
Product arrived a little banged up. Took me about 30-60 minutes to put it together. I set the height and did a test run on the yard. Worked fantastic!
I recommend that you do NOT overfill. It makes it difficult to dump. Not impossible just harder than it needs to be. Err on the lesser full side.
I was using my sweeper with a large zero turn mower and I could not reach the handle to dump from the tractor. I figured that would be the case but I opted for the steel rod over the rope pull model because I didn’t want to deal with the rope getting caught up in the brush.
It’s bigger than you think!

Works as expected
This lawn implement works well for my property. Picks up the clumps of grass clippings after mowing. Picks up Austrian Bottle Tree leaves (constantly dropping) from the 3/4 inch rock out front.
Some assembly issues: Bracket holes for catch basket arm not evenly assembled, had to hone out with drill bit.
Tongue bracket assembly screws had under sized nuts, needed to buy the right 5/16 .size
I do like this implement.

Great Machine
Just use this machine today behind a ZTR. The machine was easy to put together with all holes being open and lined up. Just followed the instructions and shortly the machine was together. I am not very fond of the spacer that is to be used with the hitch but that is nit-pickin. Started and it was not picking up much but then i had not set the brush height. So i set the brush height and off we go; working good but not great. Adjusted brush height and off we go again and this thing is a BEAST. Man this the only way to handle leaves and most other yard trash! All i can say is thank you. Emptying the hopper is a pain in the old sack though. Still working on that one. I love this machine and really recommend it unless you like raking leaves.

Really Outstanding Performance
I did a little research prior to buying this one and have not been disappointed. The assembly was pretty easy and the instructions really simple. I put it to work the same day I assembled it. Really works great! I am amazed how quickly I can tow and still do a good clean with this sweeper. I also like how quickly it disassembles for storage.

One acre with long leaf pines, magnolias, and live oak trees. Used it 3 times and the sweeper is built like a tank here in the US of A. Called customer service about a concern and they were good people. I noticed they even ask owners for suggestions on how to improve it. That's awesome. It picks up everything that falls from those trees, dethatches, and leaves live grass. The sweeper stores easily along the wall and I hung my basket which isn't heavy on the wall in my garage 12 feet up. Lawn sweepers are great on level parts of a lawn but I have swales and dips so I have to make multiple passes over some spots and have it set low at 1.5 so it's a little overly aggressive on my centipede grass. I should add some topsoil to level the low spots. My zero turn doesn't like the uneven spots either.

Excellent Customer Service!
The unit is designed to disassemble easily, for me that it critical. The design is simple and easy to reassemble as well. There were a couple of parts that were damaged in transit, and customer service was simple and hassle free with replacements, which arrived immediately! Good idea to order and store some basic maintenance parts.I always seem to do well with Agri-Fab products and services!

Amazing Machine!

Good machine
I like the machine for it works well. Assembly was not difficult, it just took time. I was short a couple of hair pins so I contacted your company to send them. In the meantime I am using pieces of wire. The unsightly appication of the decal on the front of the machine was done sloppy with wrinkles and bubbles in it. I tried to smooth them over by pricking with a pin but could not eliminate the big ones. Please send me a couple more decals. I may have to practice with one before I get it right.
Assembly instructions could be improved.

Great Product
This would be a 5 out of 5, except for the wheels.
This is a great product for a one man law operation. Easy to operate and picks up the leaves and grass clippings with out a worry and extremely light weight. Only issue I have is the plastic wheels. The gear tooth on the wheel is plastic but the metal gear inside the housing grinded down my wheel teeth. Recommendation, would be to build a metal wheel or figure out a way to prevent the gear from wearing down so easily and quickly. I bought replacement wheels already so we will see how long they last this time.
All in all, still a great product perfect one man operations and easy to operate and assemble. Thank you

Agri-Fab Sweeper is VG
I had one of these sweepers before. They work well and save time but be careful with your ground speed. They have nylon wheels thst are driven by steel pinion gears. Too much speed and you will be buying new wheels. Also , the manufacturer uses plastic bushings for the brush axle. These will melt if tou go too fast. All of that being said , its a well designed unit that will do a nice job with some care.

Wife and I assembled this together and are still Married..... that says a lot. went to gather with out to many hiccups, YES she was reading the instructions So that is likely why it went well..... BUT 10min in using it the brooms fell off the shaft on one side... These are installed on the unit when you get it SO I would say give them a check when putting it together...... She did not tell me to So i say her fault.. But factory should look at that with lock nuts they should not have fallen off.... This thing works great, cleaned up acorns and hulls from the squirrels, almost like a vacuum...

Easy to assemble and use
I decided on this one because most of the reviews were positive. I also learned from the negative reviews which were mostly about the wheel gears wearing out. I know keep the speed at a brisk walking pace to avoid damage.
It was packed very well. No damage. It went together with the only issue being the mosquitos which were relentless! The pins and holes are held at a very high tolerance. Build quality is really nice.
I have only ran it once. After adjusting the height (attacked by mosquitoes every time I stopped) it picked up leaves and sticks great.
I don't know if the instructions were changed after some negative reviews but they were spot on and easy to follow. Look at the picture...make it look like the picture. Easy as that.

I have a large yard and an old riding mower that doesn't have a mulcher or bagger. I use to spend an hour plus raking up the lawn clippings after mowing. Now a few extra passes after mowing with this sweeper and I'm all good. This thing has paid for itself in my sweat only. Can't wait until fall.

Remarkable
Picked up the 44" sweeper a few days ago and its totally worth the money. If you know how to read a picture you should have no problem putting this together. Cleaning up 2.4 acres covered in leaves, pine needles and pine cones and twigs has become so much more easy. I love this thing!!!

easy to assemble and works great, however there is one thing peculiar about the wheels this sweeper uses. They seem to be very soft plastic wheel hubs have gears molded in. I have replaced the left wheel twice and I'm currently on the 3rd one this year and the right side is still original. Not sure whats going on here as the setup works fine on the bench and both wheels drive the brushes , but on the ground the left one will grind itself to pieces quickly. done some trouble shooting and I have been unable to find the issue, (alignment, spacing ,ect). at $60+ a wheel I'm going to park this thing if I cant figure it out and look for a sweeper that has more robust gearing. this is being used on a flat lawn ,short grass sweeping clippings. when it works it works great, heavy built frame, but the drive wheels are too cheap.

Dear tufnoogies - The Agri-Fab team values you as a customer and your opinions are important to us. Firstly the wheels are not plastic, but glass infused nylon. Compared to the native polymer, glass-filled materials have improved mechanical properties of rigidity, strength and may also have improved surface hardness. The most common thing that shortens wheel life is driving too fast. The sweeper is rated at 6 MPH while towing and the recommended sweeping speed is 3 MPH. Additionally if you have your brushes too far into the grass it will cause the wheels to strip. Per the owner's manual you should have the brushes no deeper than 1/2 inch into the grass. I would like to invite you to contact the Agri-Fab customer care team to discuss your sweeper. All Agri-Fab products carry a 3-Year Limited Warranty. Please call 800-448-9282 Monday- Friday between 7 am to 5 pm CST for assistance.

I really enjoy this sweeper. It saves me many hours of backbreaking work with a rake. As you can see from the pictures, I have removed a lot of pine cones, pine needles, and leaves from my yard. Since the dump arm was too short to use from my z355, I am using a rope which does the same thing.

3 Acres
We have 3 acres of nothing but leaves that have to be removed every fall. I purchased the 44” sweeper a little skeptical at first; but have been more than pleased with its performance. Get your height set right and take your time is the key to a great looking yard.

Works great
I bought one because our son is a junior in high school and it was his(our) turn for the seniors to toilet paper our yard! Not only that, they put shredded paper in our yard as well! Almost impossible to pick up. Bought this sweeper at our local agri-supply and wow, what would have taken me 8 hours or more straining my back took me an our to sweep up with my new best friend. Not only that, now I sweep up the cut grass for our chicken pen which also reduces the mess that our inside dogs use to bring in on their paws! Wife is happy, I am happy!

Saves an amazing amount of time after dethatching, I have just over a half acre of property to mow and along with the agri-fab tine dethatcher it took me just about 2 hours to mow, thatch, use the sweeper, and seed. Picks up pine needles, acorns, grass clippings, most small twigs / branches. Being able to dump the load without getting off the tractor is awesome, no more bagging or loading pails of yard waste back and forth. I recommend this to everyone. Only part that I had to adjust was the depth bracket, it was bent out of the box and I could only place the pin in the bottom 3 holes, I disassembled the bracket and bent it back, works great!

Sweeper arrived when it was supposed to. Was a little concerned when i saw the Assembly
instructions were pictorial only. No problems, it went together easily. Just mowed and swept an acre. Held the sweepings from the front half acre before emptying. could have held a little more but not the whole back also. Empties easy. The offset is a nice idea but my tractor throws the clippings out past the sweeper.Not a problem. Ordered a mulching cover to keep the trimmings under and behind the tractor. Cant speak for longevity yet but so far this seems like a fine piece of equipment.

Wow, I love this piece of equipment. I move to a new area with lots of trees so I didn't know what to do with them this past fall. So i blew them in the "natural areas" thinking they would breakdown and mulch over them. No, that doesn't work. But I just bought this sweeper the other day and its fantastic. I am blowing the leaves back onto the yard so I can pick them up properly with this sweeper. So far, I love it and my other Agri-Fab products!
Wanted to be safe and not take picture while driving. Also, that pile doubled in size with ease. Most of what you see is thatch from my Agri-fab front end mounted dethatcher. Will provide review on it as well. Home run with these two.

It might have been good.
The product came with a bent frame which may or may not have contributed to the problems I was having. When it was working it was great but the wheels kept locking up every 10 minutes which would lock up all functions. Very frustrating so I sent it back 3 weeks ago and am still waiting for refund.

Not sure how it works.....
.....because it was a gift for my Dad, and I don't think he's had a chance to use it yet.
Because I assembled it I can say that it seem a bit flimsy, but that may be okay as long as it does the job - no need to make it any heavier than it needs to be.
I was disappointed with the condition in which it arrived - it was bent up pretty good. Fortunately - because it is a bit flimsy - it wasn't too big a job the hammer it back into shape with a rubber mallet.

This product has great features and is easy to use.
This sweeper was easy to put together but watching the video helps, I was able to do this by myself in about an hour.
Performance is great! I have two acres with more than 30 tree and I have leaves! It sweep well and the basket gets full. The unit is built well and is sturdy. Not having to use tools to put it together is a big plus.

Great Piece Of Kit
Assembly was easy enough. Took me, alone, about 30 mins. Hooked it up to my JD S240 ride-on mower and started in our .5 acre dog yard. Yes, this does work as a decent poop scooper, though I deliberately set the brush at recently mowed grass height rather than 1/2" deep as the manual suggests, mainly as our ground is very uneven. It swept really well, picking up twigs, leaves etc too.
Dumping the waste is easy, but be careful how heavy the load can get.
Highly recommend this.

This does an excellent job of picking up anything in the yard. It picks up pine cones and needles, leaves, small sticks, and almost anything lying on the ground. Assembly is relatively easy with two or more people, and once assembled, it is easy to collapse for storage.
