Why we are on the subject. Does anyone have or know anyone or used a agri-fab vacuum? they sell them around here at Lowes and Tractor supply. I just am curious as to the quality. do they work etc. ?

The agri-fab is the one also sold at Mills Fleet Farm. I talked to the guy who does the lawn for our office complex. He has one and really likes it. No problems so far, but he has only used it 3 seasons. I assume being that he does this for a living, he will use his more in one season than a typical home owner would in 5 or 6 seasons.

I like the agri-fab, but I don't like how much room it takes up. I finished almost all my lawn this weekend so I won't need to decide between the agri-fab and the cyclone rake until next spring.

JackIL,

Thanks much for the pictures and details. I'll have to archive that for future use if my steel unit gets bent. It does make sense for them to consolidate on a single unit to keep inventory costs down.

Thank you,
Michael

Anyone familiar with the Agrimetal Tuff Vac? Looks like they have PTO-powered towable units that vacuum and shred directly rather than relying on the mower deck to actually pick up the leaves. Here's a link:

Looks pretty darned good...I'll bet it's quite expensive!
