Thanks for the link I will check it out. Looked at the Toro ones and besides the fact that they are more than I am willing to spend I run solo most of the time so the DFS isn't that efficient with my setup. I am hoping that the side baggers are able to hold a fairly large amount of grass/leaves. From my past issues with the bagging system on my last mower, the less moving parts the better

I use a DR Leaf and Lawn Vac behind a a Husqvarna lawn tractor with a 54" deck. It leaves the lawn looking utterly spotless. I also have the extension hose so I can suck out flower beds and such. It packs the leaves tremendously well. I also have the discharge hose so I can dump it and blow all the leaves in the truck. This chops up the leaves again so I can really pack them in my truck. I'm happy with it so far.

 

I like the cyclone rake. I've only used one other brand and the Cyclone rake is so much better. Lot of other brands out there that I'm sure are great and I have no experience with them to say much else.

 

I just ordered the Trac Vac 862 Pro. It uses two 44 gallon rubber maid pails.

I had a 36 JD WB with a bagger. Filled to fast.

Baggers as the ones on riders and ZTR's that use tubes to carry the debris tend to clog up too easy. With the trac vac having its own motor pulling the debris thus working with the cutting deck discharge force should not clog up and will further reduce the size of the debris. Thus reducing the volume and using less bags.

Cool, I actually have a similar model (it's the one with the single brute) that I used last fall on my 32 WB. While it did an excellent job sucking up the leaves it made the mower much harder to manuver and a pain to get into the small gates as the hoses and hot engine had to be disconnected and reconnected every time I needed to go through the opening. If you don't have to deal with the gates it should work great for you.

I'm actually thinking of hooking the engine up to my trailer to use as a truck loader since the engine is so powerful.

I heard that you can use them alone without the mower as a leaf loader. I would never use a WB to pull a Trac Vac. My 42" JD LT 180 is worn out so I am also getting a new 48" JD 300 to pull the Trac Vac.

Hope this increases my productivity a lot.

 

I've recently pick up a used trak vac system. It was meant to sit on a scag walk behind but I've fitting it to my zero with lawn cart to mount the engine and can on. We'll see how everything works but some test runs look optimistic.

mine actually had the trash bin mounted over the deck and the engine mounted on the discharge side next to the drive belt Model 565KG...was a little hard to see over but it wasn't towing anything

sorry i was confused thought your JD was a WB.....but i see now you have the tractor type.

I started with a 21" Sears push and a 42" JD rider.

Then when they both died I bought a Honda 21 SP and a JD 36" WB. Now this year I will have the JD 48" rider soon.

 

Hey just follow up to this thread I ended up purchasing the Trac Vac Model 462 z Pro back in september. Have been running this with the high lift gator blades from stens and am very happy with the result. I can mow at full speed in a lawn with single layer of leaves no problem. If there are a ton of leaves I run over them with the side discharge to mulch em up and then reattach the vac and clean it all up. On average I have to empty my bin 2-3 times for an 8-10k lawn with one weeks worth of leaves. Whole process adds about 10-15 min to the time.
