I’ve owned this unit for about 2 months now. I just completed fall cleanup of pine straw (needles) and leaves. Their claim that it would pick up pine straw is what initially attracted me to it, and I must say, it lives up to that claim.
Assembly is relatively easy and it offers an adjustable hitch to adapt to the drawbar height of most tractors.
The brushes adjustment is straightforward and allows for deep cleaning as well as high off the ground for transport to your designated dumpsite. They lift and toss all varieties of lawn debris into the hopper.
Dumping the 15 cf hopper is done from the tractor seat via a pull rope. It allows you to dump as you continue rolling so as to spread out your load.
It also offers a compact vertical storing feature allows storage close to a wall leaving valuable floor space for other things.
PROS: Picks up leaves and pine straw and a variety of other lawn debris effortlessly.
Compact storage.
Easy dump hopper.
CONS: Hopper capacity to small (Note: A larger capacity hopper would make it more difficult to dump.)
Some debris is thrown over the hopper. (Easily remedied by slowing tractor down when approaching said debris)
All in all, it’s a great unit. Does what it says and does it well. I’m looking at ways
to increase hopper capacity and still make it easy dumping.
