Got sick and tired of dumping my cyclone rake pro. Just takes so long digging the leaves out, unhooking and hooking the velcro just got to be a pain in the a@@. After doing net research for about a week I came across this bad boy http://www.drpower.com/power-equipm...uipment/leaf-lawn-vacuums/tow-behind-leaf-vacs/prompt-for-ll2-13-28-pro-new.axd It is so so easy to dump. It appears to be built every bit as good as my cyclone. Reviews say it is pain to assemble, I never had to do that as the dealer already had it set up. IMO it would not matter if unit would take 40 hrs to set up it would be worth every penny. Only question I have is how well unit will hold up over time. My guess is very good. I would have liked to get the unit with the biggest engine but dealer did not have in stock. The one I got has plenty of power for me. 36 mo 0% if you want. So glad I bought this thing :cool2:

Agree. DR should have a check in the mail to me after that one. LOL

I just got my cyclone rake a couple months ago and haven't been able to get really any use of it yet but having a normal hitch would be a huge plus for it in my book. I really don't like the way the cyclone rakes hook up. And it looks like that impeller would do a better job of chopping up the leaves too

Take the swivel caster wheels off and install rigid wheels from harbor freight then weld up a new hitch. Pulls nice as well as turns nice just not to sharp on the turns.

Have you tried that? If I did then I would need to get a longer hose because the one they sent is just barely long enough to hook up to the mower now

Yes, changed the wheels and hitch, I don't hook to the mower deck just pull around with a 20ft hose to clean flower beds. Works great.

Do you think you could post a picture of the way you made the hitch? Or send me one?

Took a 1 1/2 in square tube cut and made into a Tee, bottom of tee drill hole for lawnmower hitch, top part of the tee put in cyclone rake hitch and mark holes to line up with hitch. If you don't change the wheels to non swivel it will be very hard to control.
