Craftsman 46 in. High Speed Tow Sweeper —

Singularly, one of the very best yard machines for the money. Got 200 cottonwoods on my one acre of yard. I purchased my first Craftsman lawn sweeper in May 1998, at the same time I purchased a lawn tractor for myself and my Dad. Dad's ride mower was purchased in Grand Junction, CO and delivered in New Hampshire for Father's Day from a local Sears store. I finally blew up my old sweeper after dragging it around the yard for 10 years. 'Blowing it up' means that I literally wore out the tire tread and bent the wheel axles--even though the mechanical drive, sweeper/s and collection bin are still intact. I live in Colorado at 6600ft., and my original sweeper never saw the inside of a garage, or was even covered for 10 years. It was oftentimes buried in 4' of snow at 20F below zero. I told my neighbor that if he wanted my old sweeper, that all he needed to do was to get new tires for it, and straighten the axle bolts. The old unit still has a decent looking paint job, and the sweeper bin is fully intact....even after crashing multiple times into virtually every tree on my property at one time or another. Tows real nice behind my Craftsman 42" lawn tractor. Both sweepers were easily assembled (helped by a couple of beers) and has stood the test of time, seasonal weather conditions and multi use from May thru mid-November. I figure that any product that can withstand this inordinately tough use, should be purchased again for at least another 10 years of service. I'd highly recommend Craftsman lawn equipment to anyone looking for a great investment in a Sears product. This particular item has been by far one of my very best investments since I bought my house 11 years ago.
