GBBag-A-Nut folks were friendly and very… Bag-A-Nut folks were friendly and very helpful. Delivery of my picker was on time and instructions were very clear. They even have on-line videos. They recommend clearing the areas of leaves and limbs “before” picking up the pecans, otherwise you will spend a lot of time cleaning out the leaves and branches. Overall, this is a great aid in picking up pecans.

GBI 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.

GBI 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.

GBConfusing model naming, FANTASTIC PRODUCT! A little confusion over receiving the right model. Would appreciate more transparency on models that share their brush designs. I received the macadamia nut harvester when I ordered the sweetgum, but was informed they are the same. Website should make this clear to avoid confusion. Besides that, this thing is AMAZING. I have so many terrible memories of raking bagging gum balls as a child, but this machine made it almost fun! For real, get one if you have gum balls, I only wish I had splurged for the larger size.

GBYou Need This If You Have Even ONE Sweetgum e Honestly one of the best purchases of the year. Does what I needed it to do. Saved me from cutting down four beautiful trees out of frustration. The order process was fantastic. Easy to figure out what I need. Easy and innovative way to track shipping progress. Seriously impressed with the use of modern technology. Arrived within 3 days. Super easy to assemble. Worked immediately. I love how easy it was to empty the basket. Awesome experience!
