Our take on the Craftsman 42-Inch Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper

A tow-behind sweeper that hitches to a riding mower or garden tractor and lifts clippings, leaves and debris into a 25 cubic foot hopper bag. Its 42-inch path and four 12-inch brushes with a 5.6-to-1 brush-to-wheel ratio cover ground quickly, and the offset hitch lets you mow and sweep in one pass. The flow-thru bag fills back to front so you empty it less often, and semi-pneumatic tires roll over turf without going flat. It suits larger lawns and fall leaf cleanup; smaller yards and tight gates are better served by a push sweeper or a bagging mower deck.

What reviewers say

Owners of riding mowers generally find it a fast way to clear leaves and clippings from big lawns, with the wide path and big bag doing most of the work. Complaints center on wet debris clogging the brushes and on the weight of a full bag.

What people mention

  • Sweep widthPraisedThe 42-inch path clears big lawns in few passes behind a riding mower.
  • Wet debrisCriticisedDamp leaves and long grass tend to clog the brushes and reduce pickup.
  • DumpingMixedThe big bag holds more, but a full one is heavy to lift off and empty.
  • ManeuverabilityCriticisedAs a towed unit it is awkward in tight turns and on uneven ground.

About the Craftsman 42-Inch Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper

This is a 42-inch tow-behind lawn sweeper that clears grass clippings, leaves and other lawn debris. It has a 25 cubic foot flow-thru hopper bag that fills from back to front, so it holds more debris before it needs to be dumped.

The sweeper uses four 12-inch brushes with a 5.6-to-1 brush-to-wheel ratio. The brush shafts have bronze bushings to increase product lifespan. Two 12 in. x 3 in. semi-pneumatic tires help it move smoothly across turf.

A patented offset hitch lets you mow and sweep at the same time.

Questions and answers

Do I need a riding mower to use it?
Yes. It is tow-behind, so it needs a riding mower or garden tractor with a hitch. It is not a walk-behind sweeper.
Can I really mow and sweep at the same time?
The offset hitch positions the sweeper beside the mower's path, so you can tow it while mowing. That saves a separate pass on large lawns.
How does it handle wet leaves?
Less well than dry ones. Damp leaves and long grass tend to clog the brushes, so sweep dry debris where possible and clean the brushes after wet work.
How much debris does the bag hold?
The flow-thru bag holds 25 cubic feet and fills from back to front. Expect to empty it less often than smaller sweepers, but a full bag is heavy.
What is in the box?
The lawn sweeper itself. A tow vehicle and hitch pin are not included.
