"I hate sweet gumballs"

I hate sweet gum balls, but my Bag-A-Nut loves them and gobbles them up like candy. Ours is a symbiotic relationship. ;-)

There are five gum trees on or overhanging my property. The biggest gum tree on my property is 80-100 feet tall and a prolific gum ball producer. Bought a Bag-A-Nut almost two seasons ago to clean up the mess these trees make and it does an outstanding job. Two years in a row I have filled 10+ 45-gallon contractor bags with gum balls.

I just added the weight attachment brackets and a couple of 10 lb. barbell weights. Took it for a test drive this afternoon and was impressed with the improvement.

Before adding the weights small gumballs, gumballs in shallow areas or in deep grass would evade being picked up. Not anymore. If you have a Bag-A-Nut and haven't added weight attachment brackets, do it. You won't be sorry.

"Effective but poor quality "

I have a 36" Push Harvester
Pros:
-Definitely picks up pinecones
-Baskets are easy to empty
-Overall easy to use and makes picking up a lot of pinecones very a quick process
Cons:
-Very poor quality; green tines bend easily and the black "forks" will snap off and get lost
-Very expensive, especially since it's so low quality
-Frequently jams. Jams are easy to fix, but can really slow down the process.
-Baskets are very small and fill up extremely quickly.

Overall, if you have a ton of pinecones in your yard, this product will make your life much easier. When everything works correctly, it is truly impressive to see how many pinecones it can pick up in a relatively short time.
It is ridiculously expensive, though, and rather cheaply made. I could excuse many of the defects if it were more reasonably priced. As it stands, we've been using this one for only 2 years and will most likely only get one more summer out of it. It's going to be a tough decision as to whether we're willing to fork out another $700+ to replace it.

"All plastic...."

All plastic....
Baskets kept falling off the first time I used it.

"Bag-A-Nut works for Gumballs!!"

I bought the Bag-A-Nut for pecans to pick up gumballs from my prolific Sweetgum tree. The company makes one specifically for gumballs, but I hope to have Pecans in the future so I went for a 2 for 1. It works fabulously on grass and pavement unless the gumballs are totally flattened. It is a bit messy on mud. I just push it like I would a lawnmower. 5 Stars from me.

"I have 40 trees and harvest by hand"

I have 40 trees and harvest by hand. I shake the pecans onto a large tarp and drag the tarp from tree to tree. This method takes 45 minutes per tree. Bag a nut reduced that in half. I got the 21 inch pro. Some tips. Clean up as much debris as you can first. Second, stop frequently to clear debris. An added benefit is that the stiff tines shucked half of my pecans further reducing additional work. I’m going to make a homemade blower next that will separate chafe from the nuts further reducing my work. The alternative is to invest in mechanical harvesting for around 40k.

"This is a game changer"

This is a game changer. We picked up at least 90% of sweet gum balls with no effort. And it was so easy to move through the grass my 5 year was able to help!

"Push to pull picker"

When I called about changing my "push" type Sweet Gum catcher to a pull behind Theresa said "you" sure can! And she quoted me the exact price and shipped it for free. It was an absolutely great purchase and experience.

"Tool did not work at this time"

Tool did not work at this time. Acorns had set all winter and could not be picked up. We will try again in the fall with fresh crop.

"Customer service is excellent"

Customer service is excellent. I realized I had purchased the wrong size harvester and they sent me the expansion kit free of charge I only had to pay shipping. They already had it ready to ship when I called in.

"Great product!!"

This (almost) makes picking up gumtree balls fun. I was VERY happy with it and amazed at the ease and thoroughness of the cleanup. It came quick and was easy to assemble. Would definitely recommend including the weight brackets.
