GET A PERFECT FINISH WITH THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION SYSTEM
The compact, maneuverable PowerVac™ Collection System vacuums your lawn for a
professional finish every time you mow, even in high moisture conditions. The deckdriven PowerVac™ boosts the discharge action of the deck blades, moving a high
volume of air that carries virtually any type of mowing debris through the collector
tube. A trash-ingesting steel impeller reduces and compacts debris eliminating
clogging and bridging, so you can mow longer without emptying the collector.
The model 8F/M2 PowerVac™ Collection System features
twin reinforced mesh bags for an 8-cu.-ft. capacity.
Commercial-grade, U.V.-tolerant, rip- and tear-resistant
bags slide out easily to empty clippings and debris.
It’s easy to adjust your mowing speed to get the appearance you can be proud of,
whether you’re mowing fine-bladed bluegrass, stemmy Bahia or anything in between,
including Bermuda grass, St. Augustine, zoysia, centipede and tall or fine-leaf fescues.
