- What can tow the Garvee 42-inch sweeper?
- It is designed to be pulled by a riding mower, lawn tractor or ATV with a rear hitch and pin. Check that your hitch height and pin size match the sweeper's tongue before buying.
- Does it work on wet leaves?
- No. Wet, matted leaves and damp grass clog the brushes and bag on any towed sweeper. Sweep when the lawn and debris are dry.
- How does it compare with a walk-behind sweeper?
- It covers a wider 42-inch swath and saves walking, but a walk-behind is easier to steer around beds, trees and tight corners.
- How full should I let the bag get?
- Empty it before it is packed full. An overfilled bag drags, spills and strains the hitch, so dump it when it is roughly two-thirds full.
- Does it pick up pine cones and acorns?
- Small, light debris like acorns and twigs can be swept up, but large or heavy items may jam the brushes or bounce out. Rake those first.
- What maintenance does it need?
- Keep the brushes clean and check their height so they just touch the grass. Store it dry and check the hitch and wheels before each use.
