Ohio Steel 50 in. Lawn Sweeper
Best wide area debris collection for large property owners.
This professional-grade Ohio Steel Lawn Sweeper boasts a 26 cu. ft. capacity collection bag and a 50-inch sweeping path. Its patented spiral brush design ensures efficient sweeping, even at low speeds, and fills the bag evenly while reducing stress on gears for extended service life. The sweeper can be towed in an offset position, allowing for simultaneous mowing and sweeping. It effectively collects debris such as leaves, grass clippings, and small to medium nuts. The unit features a no-slip positive lock height adjustment that stays in place and numbered brush height settings for easy viewing during adjustment. An extra-wide 9-inch chute minimizes clogging, even with damp grass clippings. The reversible hitch design is compatible with all lawn tractors, and a folding drawbar offers convenient storage.
