Ratings & Reviews for Agri-Fab 44-in Lawn Sweeper

Thin Basket Framing

Bought this last summer to replace well used Craftsman sweeper. Large yard, size appealed to me. Flaw…hopper frame folded like a cheap umbrella when dumping wet grass. Beefed up upper rear where metal split in the center with a steel bar I inserted and welded the tubing back together. Sides of frame bent, slid 18” long water pipes I pre drilled for the pivot points over tubing I straightened. Sweeper part works fine, after modification basket working.

Needs better bag and tires

The product does a really great job. It could use some product improvement though. Starting with the collection bag, it needs to be more heavy duty and not use velcro that wont stay in place. My snaps also broke the first use. The wheels that drive the sweeper do not have enough traction. I see the wheels dragging from time to time due to not getting enough grip to turn the sweeper. Other than that. This thing works great and did a bery nice job

44” Lawn Sweeper

Needed a better lawn sweeper mainly for fall leaf collection but after getting sweeper assembled I took it out and tried it for the first cleanup of the year. I set it just above grass height and went recommended speed for equipment/ 3 mph best. Anyway it worked great. Did a very good job of picking up misc debris etc. Afterwords I was able to store in lawn shed as outlined and its design allows for so much more room in shed. I’m certain I’ll be using it all year long. Will be able to keep yard ...

I like my 44" lawn sweeper.

I have had Agri-fab lawn sweepers for a long time. The fact that I can literally see and order sweeper parts is truly a bigger advantage. I do, however, have to return my replacement wheels. I needed replacement part number 40987c. I received a part number 6-93c. I do take full blame, maybe I was calling out the wrong model. For some odd reason, it won't send me a confirmation email, there for, I need to call it in. I can't wait to sweep up my yard again with my Agri-fab. I just need new wheels ...

Super durable and very efficient

I bought a 42" model Agri-Fab in 1995, & it is still fully operational after 30 years but I wanted a larger capacity basket so I purchased a 44" model this fall and am super happy with it. It has the same quality and superior design that I have come to expect from this manufacturer. Highly recommended!!

Plastic sprocket wheel failure

This lasted less than 2 years. The plastic wheels did not last and led to complete failure. I had to get my 20 year old craftsman out to finish picking up leaves. The craftsman has a chain and sprocket that drives the brush.

Neighbors are all jealous!!

Absolutely pleased with this sweeper. Relatively easy to put together.Works like a charm. Wish I had bought this years ago.

Successful sweep on first attempt.

Outstanding success sweeping bushels of Southern Yellow Pine Needles. Assembly greatly facilitated by Youtube video. Dump handle is a great improvement over rope systems on my earlier sweepers.

Good sweeper, bad catcher

easy to use and assemble but the basket broke the 2nd time i used it. broke at the bolts and you can tell their is fraying on the seams of the fabric. Trying to get a hold of agrifab is not easy.

Broken Weld

I got this new 4 weeks ago and it really help with the leaves.

Terrible wheel longevity design

Have had the 44" sweeper for several years & just ordered my eighth set of wheels (at least) again. It works great for about 15-20 usages before the gears wear out. I read through the reviews of all the customers experiencing the same thing & just wonder "What is Agri-Fab thinking"? There is obviously a design problem which originates trying to runs a plastic gear against a metal gear & expect it to last. I read your responses about how the "glass filled nylon has been tested & shows it stron...

Junk

The instructions are confusing. The quick start instructions don't agree with the full instructions and neither agree with the assembly videos. What a mess. It lasted an hour of use before the bag ripped at the attachment points due to design flaws. After a second hour of use two clevis pins fell out and a wheel hubcap fell off. The dethatcher attachment retractor clip never worked. Numerous calls to Agrifab never solved that problem, but they did send replacement parts. 3 shipments of re...

I just wish there were hardware stores that sold them sold spare parts for them. I love mine. But the parts that need replaced agri-Fab doesn't make anymore. I need the whole entire, from one end to another end bottom basket frame replaced. And iv been to more hardware stores than you can possibly imagine. Any they all told me I can only buy parts off the computer.

Performs well, easy to assemble.

I had this product for one week, and it fills my needs nicely. I had no problems assembling it, once I viewed their instructions on YouTube. The printed instructions leave much to be desired, and I'm glad that I did not rely on them. The sweeper is well-made and performs well at collecting clippings, leaves and twigs from my large lawn. Take your time and don't push it too hard. Good value, and made in the USA!

a must for my lawn

I just bought this sweeper and it works fantastic. I should have bought it 4 years ago. I now have a build up of thatch of which I bought the thatcher at the same time. I works so well that I need to find a good place to dump all the grass. I really dont have many trees with leaf problems in the fall, but the grass grows like crazy and I'm cutting every week if not more.

An awesome tool for your lawncare regimen!

I've used this sweeper for the last seven years and couldn't be happier. When I first strarted using it I needed to add weight to the crossbar over the front, but once I did it picked up everything I threw at it. Leaves, (even Spring glop after the snow,) small pine cones and needles. I've had had a few repair/maintenance issues arise but parts and direction are readily available.

Front sweeper does pretty good basket is junk bent my first run i would look for a better design

44 Lawn Sweeper

Purchased the sweeper about a month ago and really like it. The dethatcher came with it. That was a nice bonus.

It picks up pine needles good enough for me.

I bought this sweeper to help with a heavily pine tree’s lake lot. Although not finding any good reviews on how it picks up pine needles. We have a fairly sandy lot. Not sugar sand but fine sand and dirt. The grass grows like it is a heavily shaded lot if that helps your understanding. In other words you can see dirt between the grass. This unit will not pick up every needle on the first pass. However, with a couple of helpers manually taking the pine needles away from the trees and cabin. We we...
