I have to say, I'm with Sam. I really think this is more trouble than it's worth.

Oh, BTW.... I LOVE your "cad" drawings above! Wish I had a program that I could do that with.
lmao thanks! Just so you know, you have the exact same program on your computer I used to make those "drawings" with. Just a few minutes in Paint and violla: you have some rudimentary drawings

Takes care of a lot of issues! More area to store grass, so you don't have to dump as often..... you already have the sweeper.
That was my other thought; find a way to increase the carrying capacity of the lawn sweeper. Some areas I want to do I can't even make a full round without getting a full load. I need (ok, well, let's face it, WANT ) a way to pick these big "windrows" of grass without stopping every five feet to dump.

I do agree about the storage concern. If kept together it will take a garage bay to store, even apart will be half a bay. Then there's the assembly, disassembly every time, tweaking the setup when one is misadjusted, etc. not trying to rain on your parade, but I think I would upgrade to 1 of a larger size and enjoy the seat time.

Storage wouldn't be a HUGE concern; I'd got a little shed out back, as long as I could reasonably remove the sweepers from the frame, I'm sure I could store it in there, especially if it's only two sweepers.
