18" Push Small Acorn Harvester - Nut Picker Upper - (for Nuts 1/4" to 1")

Right out of the box, this device picks up a considerable amount of acorns. I purchased the wheel weight add-ons. I would say this would work much better doing weekly sweeps as the acorns begin to fall. At this point it is late in the season in New England and the acorns have been down for a while so they have had a chance to dig in a bit. That said, it has been able to pick up most of what has fallen. After 30 minutes of walking back and forth I had about a half a cubic yard of nuts. I will rake out one last time this year and starting next fall will run the harvester after each mow.

Lots of other products just didn't do the job for me. The one is great at picking up acorns from the lawn dropped by the various oak trees on the property. For me it works best with the added weight of the hopper being at least 1/3 full (yes you can buy weights, but acorns are free), so I don't completely empty it.

Filled a large city trash can in about 1 hour. Much better than using a shop vac!!I just purchased the weight kit, it is really needed for St. Augustine grass. So, if you have St. Augustine grass and are thinking about purchasing the Bag-A-Nut acorn harvester you should go and bite the bullet and get the weight kit.

I live in the Midwest and have multiple large oak trees in my back yard that drop tens of thousands (maybe more but I'm not counting them :-)) of acorns every year. It's like walking on marbles in the lawn each fall. I had to figure out a way to get these picked up easier than blowing them with a leaf blower or raking them up. And I don't have a riding lawn mower so purchasing a devise to put behind a mower or tractor wasn't an option. I researched a couple of different options and based on reviews the Bag-A-Nut, with its lime green "nut picker upper fingers" was the best option.The PROS:- Lightweight - easy to push (even as the basket gets full of acorns)- Easy to assemble (and I HATE assembling things)- Easy removable basket- Easy storage as I remove the basket and hang the handle/roller piece on the wall in my garage- Made in the USThe CONS:- It is NOT cheap at over $600 with taxes- It doesn't work as well unless the lawn is clean - it pick up leaves and small sticks as well as the acorns when in use (use after blowing the leaves in your lawn for the best results)- It helps to have a perfectly flat/full lawn as the machine can't pick up acorns stuck in crevices in the grass/ground- If you have a TON of acorns like I do it will not pick up EVERY acorn, BUT it does a terrific job of getting the vast majority of them off the lawn and into the basketOverall a very good product and that I would recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Was a little skeptical and yes the price point was a bit steep, but I needed to find something to help with all the acorns in my yard before they kill my grass.All I can say was what an awesome product, made in USA. A very simple design but damn it works great! Super happy with my purchase.

We did have to pick up bigger sticks but this thing did great. We actually put a 3 pound weight in the basket and that made it pick up a lot more which it was already doing fine. We got @10 gallons of acorns in about 7 minutes with this

I bought this for small acorns. I followed the instructions. Mowed the grass short with a high lift blade. Tried the bag a nut. It dit not pick up the small acorns. I used a rake and brought acorns closer to the surface…still did not work. I read about a weight attachment and thought that might help so I attached 25 pounds of weight to the bag a nut. This did not help. I have thick Bermuda grass and the acorns would not lodge in the tines. For $500+, it should have been fantastic. It was not.

Acorn harvester picks up approx. 70% of acorns on ground. Will not work very well if surface is not smooth even if you add weights.
