- Will it work with a push mower?
- No. It is a tow-behind unit that needs a riding mower or garden tractor with a hitch. A push mower cannot pull it.
- Does it sweep wet leaves?
- Poorly. Dry clippings and leaves sweep best; wet debris clogs the brush and weighs down the hopper.
- How wide a path does it cover?
- 50 inches, wider than most homeowner sweepers, so fewer passes on large lawns.
- Does it need its own engine?
- No. The wheels drive the brush reel as you tow it, so there is no fuel or motor to maintain.
- How do you empty the hopper?
- You stop, get off the tractor and pull the dump rope or lever to tip the hopper. It does not dump from the seat.
- What hitch height does it need?
- It should tow roughly level behind the tractor. Check your drawbar height and adjust the hitch bracket so the brush sits at the right height.
- Where is the Garvee Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper 50" cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $269.99, as of our latest check.
