MTD TMO-285A can easily sweep your lawn without removing or disconnecting any parts. It has been designed to operate at approximately 42 mph which is a fast walk so most riding mower speeds will be suitable. The hopper can be dumped very easily by lifting it as shown in the manual and swinging it over the sweeper. The device has been pre-lubricated but it is advised to add a few drops of light oil to the impeller and brush shaft bearings twice a year, and to remove the wheels and pinions to clean the axles and apply a coat of light oil.
