I would really like to have a lawn sweeper to tow offset from my wee little 38" riding mower and gather clippings.
I know I can buy one for about $250, but I would like a largeish hopper, instead of the small one they come with.
Any ideas on materials to use for the sweeper brush? You can get strip brushes at McMaster Carr, but they aren't cheap.
I am wondering if this is a 4 wheeled contraption, if I could use something more like traditional rake tines instead of broom type ones?
I assume I will need a system of some sort to move the clippings from immediately behind the sweeper, back into the hopper. Conveyor belt?
Just looking for some ideas. I think I can build one that is as good, if not better for my purposes and have some fun doing it.
