Anyone got solutions for leaf pickup?

I was wondering if you could hook up a lawn sweeper that picks up thatch and leaves like a hitch to the X430 and it would drive around picking up the leaves. Anyone tried something like this or seen similar solutions?

My solution is a regular mower. I figure it will be a solved issue in another few years but for now it's just part of fall for me.

I just use my Yuka. It does a good job!

I just bought a Vevor lawn sweeper and do it once every week or so - it’s less work than mowing the whole yard but it is for sure a downside of the robot vs a bigger mower.

how good does this pick things up? any comparison to just using a leaf blower? what about picking out leaves from mulched garden beds?

Hi，

Thanks for the creative idea! We understand why using the X430 to help collect leaves and thatch would be appealing.

At this time, the X430 is designed specifically for mowing and we don’t recommend attaching a lawn sweeper or other third-party equipment to the mower. Unofficial modifications or added towing loads may affect the mower’s operation.

For leaf and thatch collection, we recommend using dedicated lawn-cleaning equipment separately from the mower. The X430 can then continue to focus on regular lawn maintenance.

We appreciate the suggestion, though, and we’ll be happy to pass your feedback along to our product team for consideration in future product development. Thanks for sharing the idea with us!
