Agri-Fab Lawn Sweeper Review

[@michaellane1316]

Finally I find someone that has similar issue with their lawns/pasture. I have two pastures, now no ponies but have been trying to recoup them. Grass is longer in my case so it'll take some time to get it down a bit shorter. As with the raking.....LOL Have done way too much of that over that past 17 years. Good workout for sure. Like you, I windrow if I am doing pickup. Used to mow every month with horses. Now with no horses, I try to mow every week and most of the time, I don't have to pick the grass up. The down side to all of this over the years is, my base is dead, meaning it isn't nutrient rich anymore. This will lead me to eventually thatching both pastures, possibly some reseeding and spraying again. Generally I spray 3 times a year. Early spring, mid summer and then end of season. We are on irrigation water so limited to water supply. April to first of October. Since we are on irrigation water, we end up with all sorts of weed species in our pasture, hence, spraying. The fall spray I spray extra heavy to downsize any weeds we've acquired which then gives up a pretty good pasture grass to start the season. Appreciate the info. Have been trying to decide which one to get. The only downside to these sweepers of lesser value are the wheels with the plastic gears. Looks like that will be an extra set and brushes for future replacements.

I am highly considering sheep for that same reason! Little lawnmowers, haha. Having to rotate them is my only apprehension. The only issue I've had with the wheels so far is that longer grass stems can get wrapped around the axle. I only had to clean it once this year, but it's definitely worth looking out for.

Great video been looking at one of those. Hate racking. When I buy will use your link

[@MurrayHomestead]

It's definitely a quality of life upgrade, haha. Thanks a bunch, we really appreciate it!

would have been nice to see more footage of it in action....

[@MurrayHomestead]

I don't disagree...my brother is going to lend me his GoPro so I can get some quality footage of it working. I'll post another video with more demonstrations soon. Thanks for the comment.

I have a 23 HP zero turn and I have a similar issue with it bogging down and what i learned was it was less an issue with HP or torque but more about issues with being able to discharge after it was cut. I raise my chute to help but it still bogs down occasionally. I bought this same yard sweeper and have really been pleased with it. Great video.

[@jefffranks92]

lol, I put that first comment after only watching about 2 min of your video and you literally commented the same thing.

[@MurrayHomestead]

Ha, too funny. I'm glad you're liking the lawn sweeper too! I just used it yet again today. It really makes maintaining a yard so much easier. Thanks for the comment! Much more to come.
