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

The John Deere 42 in. Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper is a pull-behind brush sweeper for clearing grass clippings, leaves and pine cones from lawns. It uses six brush sections for steadier ground contact than four-brush designs, and a 25 cu ft bag with a full-length windscreen to keep debris in. A T-handle dump cord lets you empty the bag from the tractor seat, and the unit stands or hangs upright for storage. The best new price is $599.00 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, the only new listing found.

About the John Deere 42 in. Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper

John Deere 42 in. tow-behind lawn sweeper collects leaves and grass clippings with it's powerful brushes for a clean sweep the first time through. It's 42 in. wide sweeping path and extra large hamper provides 1-pass performance every time. The patented self-storing feature allows the sweeper to hang or stand upright, providing for compact storage when not in use. The included full-length Windscreen ensures that all material is retained and nothing is thrown over the top of the hamper, while the T-handle dump cord means you can empty the hamper right from the tractor seat. Consistent brush to ground contact prevents the unit from "skipping" and leaving leaves and grass clippings on the lawn. This is accomplished by reducing Tip Lift-the time and distance that the brushes lift off the surface of the lawn between strokes. Incorporating six brush sections, brush to ground contact is significantly improved over traditional 4-brush designs.

Questions and answers

Is the John Deere 42 in. sweeper worth $599?
It is a fair price for a 42 in. tow-behind with a 25 cu ft bag and six brush sections. If you have a large lawn and a riding mower, it saves raking time. On small or very uneven yards, a rake or blower may do the job for less.
What do I need to tow it?
Any riding mower or garden tractor with a hitch pin can pull it. It is not self-propelled, so it will not work as a walk-behind sweeper.
Does it pick up wet leaves?
Poorly. The brushes work best on dry clippings and leaves. Wet or matted material tends to clog the bag and brush housing.
How big is the bag and how do I empty it?
The bag holds 25 cu ft. A T-handle cord lets you dump it from the tractor seat, though you still have to pull the bag off to empty it fully.
How long does assembly take?
About 30 minutes or less with two tools. The frame comes partly assembled.
When is it cheapest?
Fall leaf-cleanup season and spring yard events are when sweepers get discounted. The only new price found was $599.00 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, so watch for markdowns outside peak season.
Where is the John Deere 42 in. Tow-Behind Lawn Sweeper cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $599.00, as of our latest check.
