Leaf collection system RV602

greendmowing · Dec 16, 2015

Hey hey,
First post, looking for advice on equipment. I'm goi to be getting myself a 4500Y, a 60 inch deck, and a 72 inch deck. I'd be doing a lot of things with it, like fall cleanups especially, and I want to get the RV602, but I want to know what people think about it, so what do you guys think about it? How do you like it? Pros, cons, gripes, etc...

As it runs north of 7 k I don't think you will find many takers.

The official video is all I have seen of it. The aspect of its cost is nothing new regarding Ventrac power units and attachments. The OP is already getting close to 7 grand with the two mowers.

The contour mower, the power rake, the aerovater, and so on are all up there; but quality USA made commercial grade equipment is expensive.

You have one? I don't as I do not use mine commercially. I do have a mower snow blower leaf blower and a tiller and nothing comes close to that price.

As for the bagger,It's way too expensive,the entire setup takes way too much trailer space, and ventrac is too expensive and slow for commercial mowing..it excels on steep hills,but you'd be much more productive with a zero turn,as well as having lower costs.For the cost of just the bagger you could buy a like new zero turn with a bagger setup...

No Murphy, I do not have or need the bagger system. I just chop my leaves with a mower. My contour mower was in that list price range though.

At that price I have no need for it either.
