How does a tow-behind sweeper compare with a bagger?

A sweeper like this lifts leaves and clippings off the surface with spinning brushes and collects them in a bag behind. A bagger mounts on the mower deck and catches clippings as you cut. The sweeper handles fallen leaves and debris after the fact; the bagger is better for catching clippings during mowing.

Will it fit my lawn tractor?

It uses an all-purpose hitch meant to connect to most lawn tractors, ATVs and UTVs. Check your hitch type and tow height against the sweeper's hitch before buying.

How often do I have to empty the bag?

The 24 cu.ft. bag is large for this class, so you stop less often than with smaller sweepers. You empty it by pulling the dump rope from the seat.

Does it work on wet leaves?

Nylon brush sweepers work best on dry debris. Wet or matted leaves tend to clump and can be left behind, so sweep after the lawn has dried.

Can I adjust how close the brushes sweep?

Yes. The sweeping height is adjustable so you can set the brushes for thick grass, light leaves or small sticks.

What do I need to tow it?

A lawn tractor, ATV or UTV with a suitable hitch. There is no walk-behind option, so a tow vehicle is required.

Our take on the Heavy Duty Lawn Sweeper 42-Inch Tow Behind

The GIMMYFIVE is a tow-behind lawn sweeper with four 10-inch nylon brushes and a 42 to 44-inch adjustable sweeping path. It pulls behind a lawn tractor, ATV or UTV on a standard hitch and dumps clippings and leaves from the seat using a rope. Its 24 cu.ft. bag is large for the class, so you empty less often than with smaller hopper sweepers. It suits larger yards with a lot of leaves or clippings; on wet or matted debris, brush sweepers like this one leave more behind than a powered bagger.
