Picked up mine last night, can't beat it for price. I have a honey locust tree that drops 10" long bean pods every fall. I'm hoping it makes the job of picking those up a lot better than raking.
I am guessing it will work out well for you, thanks for stopping in!
That dethatch attachment is sweet! I will have to see if I can find something like that for mine! Nice vid!
Appreciate it! I believe they are pretty universal
It sure worked a lot better once I took those curved arms the bag hinges on and flipped them around so they point up instead of back. Took me a while to figure out why the bag was lower than the sweeper unit. At first I thought I was missing an adjustment or something. Works great now. Collected a big pile of thatch. Still need to figure out what to do with the dump rope though.
Good evening Sir, you have a nice golf green Sir and that is a very handy lawn sweeper for you great land 👌😉🍻
Thanks as always! Maybe i should put in a place to practice golf! Cheers
@@k6outdoors Yes that will be great for sure 👍😉🍻
Very helpful, thanks! Buying mine this weekend!
Glad you found it helpful! Happy shopping
I have the same sweeper and dethatcher. I use them now a little here and there but switched up to a front mount dethacther and a bagger system for my zeroturn. No where fair to compare each setup but I agree for the $ the yardworks set up is a great buy. I'm on my way to Menards soon to pick up a new ladder.
I can definitely agree with you on this one, thanks for stopping in and I appreciate your input!
@@k6outdoors your welcome! Thank you for making the video
I see in the video the rear of the hopper is just about touching the lawn while you are pulling it. Make sure the hitch is adjusted right (level) I'm thinking of making some nylon skids under the hopper to keep it from rubbing on the ground on uneven ground.
Appreciate the thoughts, thanks for stopping in
Looks like it works really well
And it happens to match the mower!
Is there a video on how to assemble the hopper bag ?
I did not specifically slow that section of the video down, sorry about that.
@@k6outdoors that's OK 🙂👍
Appreciate the video but wish the assembling portion of the video would be slower and have a little of an explanation even though we have the instructions. 😳 Looks like it was easy for you to put together. 🤗 The assembly was the most important part of the video. 😒 Tried slowing the speed but it was way too fast to begin with. 😳 We did manage to assemble it. 🤗 The yard sweeper certainly works real good in the video. 🤗 We agree it will be so helpful in Fall with all of our leaves in the yard! 😊 You got a great deal, we paid about $50 more even with the 11% off at Menards, guess we should have bought it sooner or when it was on sale. 😕 Of course I "liked" your video. 👍Thanks for sharing your experience with the yard sweeper and maybe consider "Senior" or slow speed in the future for assembling. 🙏 You have a very beautiful yard. ☺🌲☺
My apologies on the assembly portion, its definitely hards sometimes to determine the balance on videos like this! I greatly appreciate the feedback and hope the yardsweep treats you well!
@@k6outdoors I agree, Iam looking for an assembly video at normal speed I can watch as the paper instructions are vague.
@donburden7383 I can try and recreate the video with my footage for those who want to see how it's put together. Ive gotten a lot of negative feedback on assembly videos but I think this would be an appropriate situation. Thanks for stopping in
That's impressive. I like the built-in dethatcher. #purplecollarlife
Im super glad to have it, wish i would've bought it sooner
That thatcher looks like a good idea but needs another row so the tines are spaced closer.
It could definitely help but it works pretty good overall! Thanks for stopping by!
If a frame part bends or breaks dont look for a replacement part, they are unavailable.
Unfortunately, in todays day and age its impossible to find a lot of things. Appreciate the feedback.
These things work fairly decent. I was pleasantly surprised. Picks up a lot of walnuts and acorns. Works on leaves well too. I’m curious how long the brushes will last though.
Thanks for sharing! I am curious as well to how long the brushes hold up
On the outside looks solid with metal parts. Hidden under the shroud by the wheels are plastic gears that operate the brushes. The cheap plastic gears break very easily. Pile of trash.
Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately 99% of residental units will be built this same way. If you adjust your brush height correctly and pull it at the correct speed it should last you many years. Thanks for stopping in
Did the brackets to connect the dethatcher to the lawn sweep come with either product or did you have to buy them separately?
Everything needed came in the kit! Thanks for stopping by!
The only thing i dont like is thet the wheels are interlocked thru gears and axle so when u make a tight radius turn the outer wheel skids.
One more thing...u need tobe careful with speed...going to fast will strip the plastic wheel gears.
Personally, if i could return the product, i would and purchase a powered sweeper or lawn vacuum.
Its definitely not a perfect machine, but for the money it worls great. The other 2 options would be at a different price point but would definitely have advantages. Thanks for stopping in
I wish there was a good way to mount the rope to the tractor. When jumping on the tractor after dumping clippings, sometimes I forget the rope and it jams up in the brushes. My mistake the rope is useless if I have to get off the tractor to dump it each time.
Great point!
Is it possible to hang the rope around the hitch pin?
These sweepers works okay on well manicured and leveled grounds. On rougher terrains, they're practically worthless. Make sure to roll your lawn, on a regular basis, if you want peak performance.
Appreciate the thought on the topic! Appreciate you stopping in!
Rolling can unnessisarily compact your soil. Level with sand/soil/compost and level with a landscape rake and/or lawn leveler.
@@mr.c6674 I have one acre of farm land. That's why I wanted to keep it, somewhat clean. On a positive note, I compost the grass clippings.
I'm wondering if this will work with the hitch on my Dixon Ztr. I tried an old model a friend gave me, and it didn't ride right on the ground because of the height of my hitch. I see this has a range of heights. Just wondering if anyone has used it with a Dixon?
It really adjustable, ive used it on my ztr and my mahindra tractor
@@k6outdoors would you be willing to measure the height of your Dixon ZTR for me? If I drive half an hour to buy this, then drive home, assemble it, and find it doesn't fit my mower.....I'm sure you can picture that scenario. If greatly appreciate it! The box didn't show any measurements.
How many times did you have to empty it?
I was able to get by with dumping it once in the front yard and the back yard. I didnt have a massive amount of dead grass. However, I was surprised at how much the hopper can hold.
GOOD AFTERNOON WHERE I CAN BUY THIS MACHINE. THANKS
Our little league is thinking about getting one of these to sweep up grass burrs (goat heads). If you know what they are, do you think a sweeper could swap up the thorny grass burs?
I cannot say with 100% certainty since I have not tried it, but if they are light enough I dont see why it wouldnt pick them up
@@k6outdoors Thank you!
Agrfab is made in USA. How about this one?
From my understanding, a majority of Yardworks products are made in China, so I would presume this is the same case, Thanks for stopping in
Do you think this sweeper would pick up acorns and walnuts?
Honestly not 100% sure.. it picks up small sticks and yard debris but will need to try it to see for 100% certainty. Thanks for stopping by
Picks up walnuts...I don't have acorns but may need to have brush tighter to ground since they are smaller
