I am looking for a tow behind grass/leaf catcher for my mower.

I had an older Craftsman unit that was purchased from the previous owners of the house we bought. It lasted about half a season before the first time the plastic gears in the wheels disintegrated. The second set of gears just ate themselves and I am done putting money into it. Every review for the current models I have seen says they are all constructed of plastic and last about 1 year under good conditions.

What I am looking for is a decent quality model that will not self destruct every year. I recall growing up my dad had an old Parker catcher and that things was built like a tank. Is there anything made today that will have similar quality? What sayeth the hive.

 

We have an Agri-Fab, it works pretty well and has lasted 3 years so far.

I have a Craftsman sweeper and it has lasted 5 years so far. Mine does not have plastic gears though.

I just mulch them with my lawn tractor.

Agri Fab, they are well built and work great.  A little spendy though!

$189 once is a lot cheaper than $99 every three years.
