The Agri-Fab 45-0492 is free of many of the flaws common in other towed sweepers. Many such units have an annoying tendency to ‘skip’ while in operation, causing some debris to be left behind – not so this model. Agri-Fab have addressed the problem, so you can be sure of comprehensive pick-up on the first pass, with no need for a second run.
The Agri-Fab 45-0492 44” Towed Leaf-Sweeper is fast and efficient performer over very large areas – it will get the job done 24-percent quicker than a 38” model. It’s supplied with a huge debris-bag (25 cu. ft.), which keeps emptying-stops to a minimum and can be collapsed to save space in the storage area. The bag can be emptied from the seat of your tractor. Another key benefit of the Agri-Fab 45-0492 is its offset hitch, which allows you to simultaneously cut and sweep, while also making it easier to work alongside obstacles. Flexibility of use is further enhanced thanks to an adjustable brush-height, which is quick-and-easy to set using a single button. This unit is compatible with all brands of lawn-tractor and ride-on mower.

Although it’s a very lightweight frame it seems quite sturdy and you get really good results, collecting both leaves and/or grass cuttings, plus, it holds a huge amount in the bag, (but quite heavy to tip out). The brush pivot system could do with a rethink, a bit labour intensive moving the blades up to avoid collecting all the pebbles off the driveway. Not sure how long the collecting bag will last but I guess we’ll see. Overall a pretty impressive bit of kit so far.
