Q: Every sweeper I have seen has the wheels seize after a few years. Are these any better, if so, how. by John Baker from Pennsylvania on July 04, 2016
A: John,
The bronze bushings found on the 12-inch pneumatic wheels will provide long lasting wheel life. However, in regards to whether these will seize the same as other models, I do not have this information. Please feel free to reach out to Agri-Fab directly at (800) 448-9282 for further information. by Dale, Product Expert
Q: Where does the thatcher bar fit? by Bonnie Weiland from Texas on September 27, 2013
A: Bonnie,
It fits right in front and it is u-bolted directly to the bar where the hitch tongue is attached to. I have included the instruction manual in a link below that outlines this perfectly.

The Agri-Fab 45-0492 features a large 25 cubic foot heavy-duty collection hopper and has a 44-inch wide sweeping path allowing you to get your lawn care done quickly. This model uses a cantilevered hopper bag for easy dumping. The hopper easily empties from the seat of your tow vehicle by just pulling a rope.
The Agri-Fab 45-0492 tow behind lawn sweeper has a high density straight brush design with 12" poly bristles that are more densely packed together. This dense packing delivers more efficient sweeping than traditional brushes and even has adjustable height settings. You can collect leaves, grass, debris, pine needles & most types of nuts.
The Agri-Fab 45-0492 tow behind lawn sweeper may be a residential grade sweeper, but the heavy-duty steel body design and 12-inch semi-pneumatic tires should provide years of dependability.
This 44” lawn sweeper is one of the most versatile lawn sweepers on the market. For starters the 26 cu ft bag allows you to spend more time cleaning up debris and less time dumping. When it does come time to dump the sturdy dump handle makes it easy to dump without ever leaving your tractor seat.
This sweeper has an offset hitch option that allows the operator to offset the sweeper to one side or the other and pick up grass clipping while they mow. This eliminates having to sweep after you mow.
Lastly the Agri-Fab 44” sweeper has the capability to fold in the tongue and collapse the bag for easy and compact storage.

Best Sweeper I Have Ever Owned
High quality, innovative features like utilizing a rod to dump, rather than a line. Removable tongue and bag are brilliant.
Pros:High Quality, Exceeded Expectations, Features, Easy To Store
Cons:I do not like where the bag snaps onto it's lower , front bar

No Leaf Sweeping Today
Today I had enough fallen leaves to use my new leaf sweeper. However, the sweeper does not work as advertised. It appears that anytime, fast or slow speed, that a few leaves get in front of the wheel that drives the sweeper brushes, the wheel does not turn and operate the brushes.
The wheel just slides along the leaves without turning. Not good as I expected with all the good ratings that accompanied this item the performance does not live up to the ratings. The wheel does not appear to be well designed for the function it is to accomplish.

Great Product, Lousy Packaging
Received my second lawn sweeper in better condition than the first but still lightly damaged. This is a great sweeper and performs well, as advertised. However, I was taken aback not once, but twice at how the manufacturer packaged their product and sent it out the door.
The bent steel tube pieces that make the framework for the hopper plus the square bar making the yoke to attach the sweeper to a riding mower were in the box loose, free to flop around, assaulting the sweeper housing during any handling and transit.
No loose parts were either bound together, in their own box, or wrapped in bubble wrap or something of the likes. The nuts & bolts etc. are in a plastic bag, but that menacing bag of steel is also unrestrained, free to move about inside the box causing any damage it may desire to inflict.
This sweeper is well designed, engineered and appears to be made of quality parts. It is easy to assemble and took me about 20 minutes doing it alone. Does it function well? Absolutely. I just find it quite intriguing that Agri-Fab would put no thought or care into the packaging of a product so well thought out and designed. I mean, when you buy something that is new with hard earned money, it should arrive in new condition, not dinged up with a pre-owned appearance.

Love My New Lawn Sweeper
It takes a bit to figure out how to properly set the height adjustment - newer models have what appears to be a nice built-in gauge.
Pros:I'd Buy It Again, High Quality, Durable, Fast
Cons:Bad Instructions, Expensive

"The shipping container was damaged yet the product was in good condition."
After using the sweeper 5-6 times the wheels stopped turning & skidding on the grass. Took everything apart & found that the gears on the inside of the plastic wheels are also plastic were melted & peened over. The gears that turn sweeper brushes are steel & the heat transfer softens the plastic. I brought the wheels to Tractor Supply where I bought the sweeper & showed them the wheels. They called the company & explained the problem. The company said it was due to going to fast. So after $107.00 later I ordered & bought 2 new wheels. Put all back together & this time they lasted a whole 3 mowing's. Took them back to Tractor Supply & the lady said you just bought them not too long ago didn't you? I said yes about a month or so. I was wondering if there was any kind of warranty. She said I don't think so but I'll call the company & find out for you & call you. She did call me right back & told me just what I thought she was going to say. You must be going to fast & I said if I was to go any slower I'd be going backwards!! She said do you want to order 2 more wheels & I said are you crazy, no thanks. As I was to leave she said do you want your wheels & I said I have no use for them you keep them, hang them on the wall for an ornament & when people ask what they are you can tell them those are the wheels that last about 3 weeks on that piece of JUNK lawn sweeper that we sell!!!

Brand Rep
Alex,
Please keep in mind, this is an older sweeper and we have addressed this issue. Agri-Fab has now added a bronze bearing to this model sweeper's wheels in November of 2012. It is recommended that this product be towed by a riding lawn mower, generally at speeds less than 7.5 mph.
2 sets of wheels down and the gears that turn the sweeper are trashed again. Agri-Fab says go slow, well I do go slow and the same result. It's a poor design.
Pros:Easy To Use
Cons:Low Quality

The wheels and sweeper only turn intermittently. The leaves and debris don't pick up very well. Overall, it's a disappointment compared to the traditional baskets hanging off the back. It was also bent when it arrived.
Product Expert
Christopher,
For better performance, make sure the sweeper is set to the appropriate height. If it's too low or too high, it will only turn intermittently. If you still have issues with it, this sweeper has a 3-year consumer warranty. You can contact Agri-Fab toll-free at (800) 448-9282.
Should you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to give us a call here at Leaf Blowers Direct. Our number is 1 (888) 560-6929.

Here is a copy and paste of the review I tried to post directly to Agri-Fabs website. But they filter their reviews and said this won't be posted. That is the only response I've gotten from them, regardless of emails I've sent.
"Extremely dissappointed
I bought this about 18 months ago to help with fall cleanup. This couldn't keep up with my leaves, and if the ground is damp, like it can be in fall, the narrow tires leaves grooves/ruts in the yard. Today, I finally found a project perfect for this. I raked my garden beds and tried to use this lawn sweep to clean up a little mulch and leaves. Halfway through the drive gears for the sweep (which are PLASTIC), gave out. Now I have a barely used, $350 piece of yard art. Thanks Agri-Fab! Won't be buying any of your products soon!
P.S., I emailed Agri-Fab About the lack of quality in this product. I will update with any response good or not.
