Well I wanted to bring this topic back up.
Now that Fall has been in full swing. the sweeper has been used allot, I'm still learning the best technique. Up until this weekend I've been running two to threes laps with the mower and the chute pointed in. Then the forth lap I shut the blades off and run the sweeper to pick up everything, then rinse and repeat.
Well now after a couple cold spells and some big wind last night I need a new technique. the blades just can't push all the leaves out and it gets clogged, then when I run the sweeper over it, I am full halfway through the lap.
So the new idea is to just sweep first then follow with a mow/sweep.
I will say it sure beats raking any-day. hahaha.
