I buying a 42 bushel tow-behind John Deere grass catcher for my X-534 garden tractor.To me it makes slightly more sense to mow and catch the grass at the same time,when your done,your done,your not having to switch attachments and having to go over the lawn twice.It takes a little hp.to run the blower on it,but its all done in one pass.
4 gauge I agree going over once does save time. I usually try to not collect my grass unless it gets to tall, Then I sweep it up. Nice thing with the sweeper is it can be towed behind another mower so the kids can sweep as I mow. With the packing action I get out of this I usually only have to unload once. I still can't wait to see what it does with leaves.
steiger 256 My 42 bushel back-back will catch up to 10 acres of grass before dumping it one time.Its rated for major estate sized lawns.
hows it do with leaves, im thinking of getting this for my landscape business
why not just use mulching blades? or combine this sweeper up to the back of the mower and do one sweep.?
You can do that as the sweeper can be set up left, right or directly behind the tractor.
How often do you oil and grease the sweeper? I'd think it would need a bit of oil daily? That sweeper is one of the best looking pieces out there.
Caleb Welte I oiled it when I first got it, probably will oil it before next use. I have been busy haven't had time to message you.
Looks like a handy little machine, I like it
Instead of putting a piece of cardboard there, I would have moved the deflector up so that the grass could be evenly spread. But if it isn't too long, I always mulch. You can't see the grass left behind, so I really don't see the point of sweeping grass. That is so much time that could be used for something else.
Content Updating That was actually the first time I ever mowed with the deflector on the mower. I always have it off And with high lift blades it throws grass up to 12 feet. The only time I sweep is in the spring when I can't kerp up due to rain. If I don't swerper it builds up to much thatch. Some parts in this video were not to thick where others were. I only added the deflector And cardboard on it to make lines as I mowed do it would take less passes to sweep, Rather than sweep the whole lawn.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.
Can you flip the hitch on the sweeper so you can collect while you mow? Like a silage mower
Sean Gilmore Yes you can. It can be towed directly behind like I have it set up in the video or you can mount hitch so sweeper is offset to the left or right depending on the direction of your exit shoot on your mower.

What lawn sweeper use steel gears
I would be interested in talking with you on this sweeper
Shane Rowland you can message your number then I can delete it from this post if you would like And I can talk to you about it.
Shane Rowland Or you can message me any questions you have.
Since you are wind rowing the grass the way you are, it sure looks to me like you could flip the hitch over on the sweeper to offset it to the side of your mower and tow it behind at the same time while you are mowing. Just an observation, not criticism.
CumminsDslPwr It seems more practical, But it's just easier pulling it behind another tractor after I mow. I just sweep until full then go dump. Plus with going around trees And backing up mowing it would be tough. If you were a golf corse or wide open are that would work great, But for ne this is easier. It does make more sense the way you said to do it tho. Thanks for watching.
You need to mount a rake to that bad boy. Keep your arm from turning green lol
That is a good idea. I may get a small rake, One made for kids and mount it on the side. Pulling out the grass is the worst part.
I've been waiting for this video. Thanks!! I'll be looking forward to seeing how it does with leaves in the fall.
Buschwacker I am excited to see how many leaves this thing can hold.
Have a 430 with a rear discharge 60 inch deck. It tends to wind row some clippings to the left side of the deck. Can the sweeper be positioned to the left as well? Or is it set up for center or right side pull only?
MrThumper1440 You cab set it up to sweep directly behind the tractor as well as to the right side or the left side also. I'm not sure tho how it would work behind the rear discharge deck. The sweeper may stick out a little further than your windrow. I'm sure you could just drill 2 new holes And mount it in a little closer if you wanted to.
Looks like a good machine just not pulling grass out by hand, my Grasshopper leaf vac, I back up to dump site and pull a handle and everything falls out and I drive away.
Jrbpa 57 I agree. I need to make a bracket to mount a pitch fork to the side to make unloading easy.
steiger 256 , I like the mow job and the stripes. I mow 6 acres and stripe it too, always looks good. Can’t hardly beat the front mount mowers.
Jrbpa 57 It is hard to beat a front mount mower. I have looked at compact tractors, But I love having the mower out front. It is so much easier to mow looking forward rather than down at your deck. Also front mount mowers are easier to clean.
steiger 256 Agee with the cleaning, mine has electric lift so it’s very simple to maintain. I would never have another belly mower. I do own a John Deere X734 all wheel steer to roll and spray or fertilize but not to mow with.
Jrbpa 57 The electric lift is nice. Ventrac just came out with a option on there new decks that is a hydro lift. If I get a new deck it will have it on it. It would be nice not having to lift the deck. I always hated pulling belly mowers. John Deere does offer a drive over deck now that is nice, But still not as easy as a front mount flip up
Hi. One of these is for sale at auction near me. And do you think it could pick up nuts such as hickory and acorns? Would consider bidding on it if I got a solid answer. Not much info on the web for this implement.
I am not sure how it will pick that up. It really waa made for leaves and grass. If the price is right and in nice shape grab it. They go for around 2k plus used.
@@steiger256 Ok thank you. Any fail points to look for? I read something about the wheel hubs since that drives the rotary motion? Any issues for your unit?
@@jhschlak Mine was a demo. I have nit heard of anything, But it has not been out real long yet. If there were any issues im sure they will be on top of it.
make it pu on the right side as you cut discharging to the right
David Gaylord It can be set up to do that, But with turning around And having to mow around trees it was easier for me just to go sweep the areas that were the heavier with grass
what kind of tractor was that the white and yellow one? what year and model?
JeepWoodsFun That was a 1972 Cub Cudet model 108
Grass catcher good
Man, I want one so bad. Can you hook me up to a link with where, to buy/ website?
If you go to steinerturf.com there is a dealer locator on there website. Put in your zip code and it will tell you closest dealer near you.
It's so important to go with your stripes,,,,,,,,,,geeeze eee petes!! And this all could be done in one pass by using a vac attached to the mower deck. More gas,more time,,to do it this way,you must have tons of spare time on your hands
WarAdmiral 79 Actually I could swing the sweeper to the right And sweep as I go. It's faster for me to cut the lawn like I normally do without pulling a vac or sweeper behind me. The reason I made my shoot put the grass in a line is to reduce the time it takes to sweep it up, To minimize passes. A lawn vacuum attachment has a gas engine on it that burns fuel And is another engine you have to maintain And store. I only sweep the lawn when absolutely nesasary like in spring when it rains to much to mow or in fall for leaves. I do not have lots of extra time so this us why I got this to minamize dumping. I can cut almost 6 acres of grass And sweep up the clippings in just over 3 hours. I think that's pretty efficient.
nice video I just got one to I run in a problem that my chain comes off do you know how tight chain has to be or how to?
Hans van Gorp Haven't had any problems with the chain. I will go look at mine And see how to adjust it. It should be snug
hi just wondering how your chain runs and the spring can I have a picture of that?
Hans van Gorp I will look at it in the morning. I'll try to throw on A video of the chain drive on mine if that helps.
steiger 256 yes that will help
Hans van Gorp I just posted A video on the chain drive. This should help you, Let me know if you need anymore information on it.
What is one of those worth? We don’t see too many of those here.
Steve Turk If I can remember right I think they run around 3 to 4 thousand new. You can find them used between 600.00 to 1500.00. I got lucky with this one And got it really cheap.
I bought a new one today delivered $4174. Retail is $4442.99. Sold it to me for $3889 + $285 for motor freight shipping direct from the factory. Brookside equipment out of Houston, I'm outside of New Orleans.
Has anyone seen how much these sweepers cost? I saw a used one for around $5000. I never found the price of a new one, but you can bet your ass that it's gonna cost 10 grand or more. I'll stick to the $300 dollar lawn sweepers and just unload the grass more often. Got dam they are proud of these things. You can buy a freaking round bailer for hay in Oklahoma, cheaper than you can buy this overpriced piece of crap. The company would actually make more money if they'd come down on the price and sell them for $800 dollars, because they'd sell a lot more of them.
Hi did you make any upgrades on your sweeper?
Hans van Gorp I made a screen for over the front to help keep grass blowing back out. It works very well. I hope to have a video on that here soon.
Ok sounds good really like to do something like that too looking forward to the video
Hans van Gorp I'll try to get it uploaded pretty soon. Been having trouble with video editor.
you need a pitchfork to pull that grass out of there instead of using your hand
Plant alfalfa then you have a crop. That's alot of area for just grass.
I'd love a lawn that size, but I'd add trees.
Looks like a mini
Round baler if it just tie the bales you would have it lol
drew k I always thought that's what it looked like also. Anytime anyone sees it they are curious on what it is.
1 bale it. And sell bales John Deere. Fairway mower. With buckets.
Tech 17 i work on a golf course and we just sold the last of our jd equipment. Have all been replaced with toro over the last few years. In my opinion jd has to overcomplicate their equipment to make it work. Such a pain to maintain. Got into the pro turf maintenance game too late and jacobsen and toro patented the good simple designs before they could.
get a bailer! XD
I was hoping for a bale of leaves to poop out the back like a hay bale.. *hangs head in disappointment*
I wish it did also. It would be pretty cool.
286th like
I use a lot bigger one at work
Steven Collins What brand And model are you using? Would like to check them out.
It's a harper and it's a industrial size sweeper
And it's a dv60 turbo vac
Steven Collins I checked that out. That's a big sweeper.
steiger 256 I work for a golf course that is 186 acres

Harry Peeters Steiner was started in the 70s by the Steiner family. They sold Steiner off in late 80s or early 90s. The Steiner family then started making tractors again in the late 90s under the Ventrac name. The swerper was a Steiner design in the 80s. Steiner tractors is owned by a different company today.
ok
