I have a bit of personal experience involving sweepers (namely the HardyBrinley).  As they are sold, these things are about the worst device in theworld to put together.  Assembly = hours. Involves stretching nylon overtubing and paint that is quickly all scratched up. The parts are not exactlywhat you would call "heavy duty" either.I would therefore suggest that you purchase your sweeper from a machine shop(like where you bought your tractor). At the very least it will bepreassembled-saving you a big old headache before you even hitch up. I'munder the impression that most of the sweepers out there are someincarnation of Hardy-Brinley or Agri-Fab.That being said, I really like the sweeper attachment's functionality.  Itpicks up leaves, grass, twigs, pine needles, cigarette butts, bottle caps,and whatever else is hiding in your lawn. Seek out the toughest one you canafford.cj
