I use the paddle for my business. It is the best in my opinion. As far as the line in the middle I always use it at an angle.NO LINES As far as sweeing I use a split shaft and have it sweep towards me, As I walk backwards. This way when the rocks het thicker Im nit fighting to PUSH them and holding the paddle from digging in, the natural weight of the paddle attachment dies the work. Its?easier on the machine as a whole. The time to sweep takes 1/2 as long and Im 1/2 as tired at the end of the day. I do sweep a lot of gravel off of lawns every spring. Its very lucrative...

I’m looking at both attachments. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the sweeper might get down into crevasses a little more thoroughly to remove dirt and debris than the paddle would. So unless you’re moving larger rocks on a consistent basis, I’d think the sweep was a better choice. Your thoughts?
@robnation2475 Жыл бұрын
👍Agreed. For a home owner the sweep may clean a driveway or porch nicely with soap and water and do snow too. But I might decide to get the paddle as well to make some cash (and pay for both) clearing snow from downtown sidewalks etc.🤔

I'd say spring cleanups are where these tools really shine. The pro paddle really does a great job of cleaning stones up after the snow plow season. It works well cleaning up what a leaf blower can't do.

Interesting observation. It seems that the paddle is spinning. fast enough to just throw the yard items as soon as the paddle hits it. The items don't get hung up in the paddle to be thrown back at you. At least that's my experience. I don't know how it does in mud. It may sling that enough to come back at you.
