Mesh Hopper and Ground-Driven Brushes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 44-inch tow-behind lawn sweeper is the practical alternative to a full bagging system for properties with mature trees, regular leaf drop, or pine-needle accumulation. Where a riding-mower bagger collects clippings during the same pass as mowing, the sweeper handles cleanup as a separate operation — making it the right tool for owners who want to leave grass clippings on the lawn for nutrient return but still need to collect leaves, pine needles, sweet gum balls, twigs, and other debris that accumulate between mowings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism is four spiral polypropylene brushes mounted underneath a 25-cubic-foot mesh hopper. As the unit is towed across the lawn, the brushes spin via a ground-driven gearbox — no PTO connection, no separate engine — flicking debris up and over the leading edge of the hopper. The 25 cu. ft. capacity is enough to clear roughly an acre of light leaf drop or a quarter-acre of heavy fall accumulation between empties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hopper material is a rip-resistant polypropylene mesh that breathes through the weave, allowing wet leaves to drain rather than building up as a soggy mass. When the hopper is full, a single dump rope at the operator end of the tow handle releases the rear panel, dumping contents in seconds without dismounting. The empty hopper springs back to position automatically and re-engages with a positive click.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrush height is adjustable across multiple positions to match terrain conditions: lower for hard-packed dirt or driveway sweep applications, higher for tall grass or gravel surfaces where the brushes would otherwise pick up small stones. The brush bristles are stiff polypropylene that maintains its sweeping action through years of use without breaking down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is welded powder-coated steel with two pneumatic 13-inch tires for predictable tracking behind the tow vehicle. Empty weight is approximately 80 pounds, light enough to maneuver by hand for storage but stable enough to track straight at typical lawn-tractor speeds without bouncing or wandering. The hitch is a universal pin design that accepts the standard rear hitch found on most lawn tractors, riding mowers, and zero-turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fall leaf cleanup on a one-acre property, the sweeper typically completes in 30 to 45 minutes what would otherwise require two hours with a leaf blower and a tarp. For year-round maintenance on properties with mature deciduous trees — oak, sweet gum, sycamore, hickory — the sweeper turns a weekly cleanup task that owners typically procrastinate on into a 15-minute job they actually do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairs naturally with a tow-behind dethatcher (use the dethatcher first to lift the dead grass mat, then sweep) for spring lawn renovation in a single afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42771593592926,"sku":null,"price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1159\/9138\/files\/51MEorN54FL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1778943723","url":"https:\/\/sparroo.shop\/products\/44-tow-behind-lawn-sweeper-25-cu-ft-hopper","provider":"Sparroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
