Re: (ET) Side deck conversion?

[Pieter <pvcl plitch com>]

I bought a relatively inexpensive tow behind sweeper from Sears several 
years ago and tow it while cutting grass with my rear discharge mower.  I 
got a 40(?) inch width, but they come in other sizes. Cut grass at the 
front of the Trak, pick it up at the rear.  One pass.  Works very well for 
me because I have a substantial number of white pines on my property, and 
it picks up fallen needles better than anything short of hand raking.  It 
does take a while to figure out the right height setting for the broom, but 
once set it will pick up a surprising amount of grass and leaf 
litter.  This seems an easier solution than converting your mower and doing 
all that extra work picking stuff up after cutting.
