Turf Maintenance


These two pieces of equipment are very helpful and greatly appreciated. I am surprised at all the comments the lawn mower draws. Both work very well. Both were relatively inexpensive and are easy to use. I searched and compared and the last place I ever thought I would buy them was Sears. In fact Sears was the place where I bought them.
We got the mower last summer. I just got the lawn sweeper. I had priced the same unit with the name Agri-Fab on- line at Sears and four or five other places. The price ranged from $175- 250. I drove over to Lowes, then Home Depot, Tractor Supply and finally Sears. Sears was the only place with it in stock. It was also on sale for $89.95. What a deal, huh?
These two tools have limitations. Those limitations are reliable guides to developing a well-manicured lawn.
