Our take on the Craftsman 42 in. Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper

The Craftsman 42 in. Heavy Duty is a tow-behind lawn sweeper that hitches to a riding mower or ATV and pulls grass clippings, leaves and pine needles off the lawn into a hopper bag. Its 42-inch sweeping path and 10-inch reinforced brushes cover ground quickly, and a single lever sets brush height without tools. The brushes lift high for transport and the flow-through bag is designed to fill evenly. At $399.99 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, so it is not a bargain moment.

Questions and answers

Is the Craftsman 42 in. sweeper worth it?
It makes sense if you have a large lawn, a riding mower or ATV to tow it, and a heavy fall leaf load. On small lots or light debris, a rake or blower costs far less.
What can tow this lawn sweeper?
A riding mower, garden tractor or ATV with a hitch pin works. It is not designed to be pushed by hand.
Does it work on wet leaves?
Poorly. Wet or matted debris clogs the brushes and bag, so sweep after the lawn dries.
How often do I empty the bag?
Frequently in heavy leaf fall; the flow-through bag fills fast when debris is thick. Plan on several dumps per pass on a big yard.
When is the price lowest?
Lawn sweepers usually discount in late fall and over winter, outside peak leaf season. At $399.99 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it is at the high end of its range.
Where is the Craftsman 42 in. Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper cheapest?
At Amazon, for $399.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Craftsman 42 in. Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper?
