Looking for a lawn sweeper

[dnw64]

Thank you, he was "The Ring Leader" of his three mostly black brothers, I got them at 12 weeks old, pretty much wild, born in a barn with no human interaction ... They were supposed to be "barn cats" and mostly they are, as I'm gone for weeks on end, but when I'm home I've tamed them, and they have wormed there way into my heart!

FYI, Shawn has always been a "dog person". Had many dogs and even ran a sled dog team for a while. I don't know that he ever hated cats*, probably never hated anything (well, maybe the po-po when he was a lot younger, especially when he had a motorcycle...). Those cats have transformed him!

You're growin' up, brother!

*I'm not sure if it was his idea or mine. Our sister had a cat, named Barney (really!) and we called it The Barn Cat, much to her chagrin. We noticed that the hair on his tail went past the tailbone, and as we all know, hair doesn't have feeling. So "we" trimmed it off - blunt cut just past the bone. I think if she could have, she would have disowned us at the time

I used to use a pull-rope on my Brinly so I could dump it from the seat. After back surgery, I don't want to do that twisting motion anymore. I'm pretty sure I'll add a 12v linear actuator to the next leaf sweeper that I get.

Back in the day we sold Parker- hands down the best we had seen. Cast iron and steel gears and wheels. Customers had them for lifetimes.
They were bought out - not sure who they became.

Another vote to just mow over several times...unless you're wanting to collect for mulch/compost.
