MAXLANDER 42-Inch Tow Behind Lawn Sweeper, 12 Cu.Ft. Hopper Grass & Leaf Collector, Pull Behind Yard Sweeper with Adjustable Brush Height, Dumping Rope & Universal Hitch for Lawn Tractor

What It Is

The MAXLANDER 42-Inch Tow Behind Lawn Sweeper is a pull-behind collector that uses rotating brushes to sweep grass clippings, leaves, and debris into a 12-cubic-foot hopper. It’s designed for use with lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, or garden tractors on medium to large lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch type: Requires a standard 1-7/8-inch or 2-inch hitch pin (included). Most lawn tractors with a universal hitch clevis or drawbar will work. Check your tractor’s hitch receiver width—if it’s a 1-inch pin hole, you may need a reducer.
• Deck size: The 42-inch sweeping width matches mower decks up to 42 inches. For wider decks (48–54 inches), expect some missed strips on the edges.
• Tractor power: Works best with tractors rated 12 HP or more. Lower HP models may struggle on thick, wet grass or steep slopes.
• No OEM-specific fit: Universal design, but double-check your tractor’s hitch height and clearance. The sweeper sits low—ensure your mower’s rear tires don’t block the hitch attachment.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Hopper is fabric with a metal frame. It’s lightweight but not heavy-duty—avoid overfilling with wet debris, which can strain seams.
• Brush height adjustment: Manual, tool-free lever. Set it so brushes just contact the ground. Too low = brush wear; too high = poor pickup.
• Dumping rope: Simple pull-rope dump. Works well, but the hopper doesn’t tilt fully—expect some manual shaking to empty completely.
• Assembly: Takes 30–60 minutes. Tools needed: socket wrench, pliers. Instructions are basic; watch a video if unclear.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a lawn tractor with a 42-inch or smaller mower deck and want a budget-friendly sweeper for dry leaves and light grass. It’s not for heavy-duty commercial use or wet, matted debris. If you need a wider sweep or sturdier hopper, consider spending more on a 48-inch model with a steel hopper.
