Agri-Fab 42 in Tow-Behind Sweeper review

The smaller Agri-Fab tow sweeper: 42 inches, a 12 cu ft bag and a dump rope for $291.

The steady option

Agri-Fab has sold this for years, and 2,700 ratings at 4.0 reflect that. It offers the same 42-inch width and 12 cu ft bag as the MAXLANDER.

Why pay more

The extra money buys a known US maker and a 3-year warranty.

Tow safely

Tow at the speed the manual gives, make turns wide, and stop the tractor and set the brake before you get off to clear the sweeper.

The dependable choice if the 28 cu ft version is too much.

The way we judge this lawn equipment

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
