Craftsman 46 in. High Speed Tow Sweeper —

I have a large yard and have used the sweeper numerous times with great satisfaction. I recently got the dethatcher attachment and it seems to work really well. The assembly instructions are not the greatest (for the sweeper) but if you take time during assembly it will go together correctly. I just wish there were more illustrations in the directions. I've heard complaints about the operation of the machine but I have been really pleased with mine. Understanding that the wheels need traction to operate the sweeper should imply that the best operation will be when the grass is dry. I would not recommend using it to sweep driveways or sidewalks since that will wear out the tires quickly. The dethatcher has ended up under the sweeper once after going over some very uneven terrain in the yard. I installed a short rope from the hitch to the wheel to limit how far down the dethatcher can travel now and haven't had any issues since. I highly recommend this product. It sure beats raking leaves and dethatching by hand!
