Choosing a Leaf Vacuum System

For small properties, clearing leaves and other yard debris manually with a rake or handheld blowers is pretty easy stuff. But if you’ve got to clear a larger property or heavy leaf cover, you know that rakes and blowers just don’t deliver the performance you need to keep up with the your spring cleanup or fall property care needs. In fact, you’ve probably spent many long weekends struggling to get the debris picked up each and every year. There is a better way. It is called The Cyclone Rake. The Cyclone Rake is a powerful leaf vacuum that connects to your riding mower to create many times the vacuum and mulching power of the mower alone with far greater debris capacity than standard bagging systems.

Leaf and lawn vacuums can be either a “walk-behind” type where the user walks with the vacuum system or the “tow-behind” type that connect to back of a riding mower. In our experience, walk-behind leaf vacuums just don’t provide enough vacuum power or capacity to be helpful for most homeowners. To really get the job done, we recommend a tow-behind lawn vacuum system, like the Cyclone Rake. The Cyclone Rake is designed for the job. The Cyclone Rake is powerful and easy to use with numerous features not found on other equipment.

Here are some of the reasons why we think the Cyclone Rake is the best value in year-round property care.

 

The Most Effective Vacuum Systems

The Cyclone Rake’s exclusive JetPath® Vacuum System, with its huge 8-inch diameter flow-path, gives you 77% more debris handling capacity than the 6-inch systems commonly sold by others. Superior vacuum power, more debris handling capacity and fewer clog-ups get the job done faster. The short debris flow-path and Miracle Impeller generate nearly ten times the lifting power of your mower alone. It gives you the power to lift the heaviest wet lawn debris, like rain soaked leaves or thick, overgrown springtime grass.

The Miracle Impeller

The heart of any lawn vacuum is the impeller. It’s also the most susceptible to damage from rocks and other hard debris. When a rock impacts a steel impeller spinning at 150mph, it can bend or break the impeller blades. With the Cyclone Rake’s patented Miracle Impeller, it’s not an issue. The Miracle Impeller is made from a super-elastomer that withstands tremendous stress without damage. When a rock impacts the Miracle Impeller, the polymer material absorbs the force of the impact. The blades flex to pass the object harmlessly into the collector then return to perfect balance. No repairs, no downtime.

Easy to Store Almost Anywhere

The Cyclone Rake folds flat in minutes for easy storage. When not in use, the entire chassis and collector unit fold up flat, just 8-inches thick and can be hung on the wall. The wheels disconnect in seconds without tools. The vacuum-mulcher unit effortlessly rolls away on it’s own caster wheels for easy storage. Step 1: Just fold up the collector unit. Step 2: Remove the collector unit, wheels, and engine from chassis. No tools needed. Step 3: Hang the collector and chassis on the wall with optional Wall Mount Kit.

Great Mulching Power

The Cyclone Rake’s Miracle Impeller works with your mower blades to reduce debris volume significantly. The mulched debris composts years sooner and is perfect for flower beds or plantings. In many climates, leaves picked up with a Cyclone Rake are reduced to beautiful topsoil within a year.

Easiest to Unload

Our Easy-Flow Unloading System is not available on any other lawn vacuum. This exclusive design allows the entire collector to lift to a full 60-degrees and lock into place when unloading, just like a dump truck. Simply back up to your compost site, lift and lock the collector and drive away. The debris falls right out. With Easy-Flow Unloading, gravity does the work, not your back. Some other products don’t lift high enough to dump. You have to drag the contents out with a rake. And many don’t lock into place. So unloading them can be a real chore.

Enormous Debris Capacity

The Cyclone Rake is compact, but able to hold a tremendous amount of material. With debris capacities from 200 gallons with the Cyclone Rake Classic up to 415 gallons with the Commercial Pro and Cyclone Rake XL, there’s plenty of capacity to get any job done fast. Visit the Cyclone Rake Comparison Chart for more information on all four Cyclone Rake leaf vacuum models.

Easiest to Start

The lightweight design of the Cyclone Rake’s Miracle Impeller compared to steel, makes starting the Cyclone Rake easy. It takes 1/2 to 1/3 the starting pull effort of other products with similar size engines. Customers regularly comment at how easily our engines fire to life year after year.

Most Compact and Safest to Drive

Other lawn vacuum products are so long it’s like driving a Big Rig, or so tall you’re blind backing up. The compact design of the Cyclone Rake lets it maneuver through areas that would be impossible for other machines. Safety is important. You can back-up safely because you can see behind you. The Cyclone Rake gives you good, clear visibility where you really need to see, like backing up to unload, or avoiding damage to your property.The Cyclone Rake never jackknifes. The scale drawing, to the right, shows the Cyclone Rake Commander compared with typical mail order catalog or home center machines. Notice the size and visibility difference, even though all three machines have similar capacities. Even our 415-gallon capacity XL and Commercial PRO models will back up as easily as driving forward. It’s a tremendous benefit when maneuvering into (and out of) tight places. Or backing up to unload.
