  • dr lawn vacuum yes or no

    does anyone have one of these i was thinking of getting one instead of a bagger
    for my ztr i got the video and it looks like a pretty good machine plus it has a chipper. i really like the vacuum attachment if it works it could be a real money maker. any opinions would be appreciated . i have been in the lawn service business for 5 years and i am tired of bagging leaves by hand.

    I bought the Cyclone Rake last year and it worked wonders for me. No problems at all. I also took the engine off the bagging unit and attached it to the tounge of my trailer. Then i enclosed my trailer w/ plywood. I purchased the 15' hose and I can hold about 4-5 mulched yards of leaves. I haven't used the Dr but I'm sure its very good. Theres like a 2-3 year warrenty that comes with it.

        You will like the vac hose. They are very useful. Hope you like it.

          Jack D.'s understanding is that the DR unit is not to be used on ZTR's, only lawn tractors.

          The chipper will be useless.

              "The DR® LEAF and LAWN VACUUM can be used with any riding mower that has at least a 14 HP engine and a right-side discharge chute. It can not be used with rear- or left-discharge riding mowers or any zero-turn riding mower."

              The Cyclone Rake is designed for zero turns.
