\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\tFeatures\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\tThe Cyclone Rake\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\tThe Cyclone Rake CRS | \r\n\t\t\tOther Leaf Vac\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\tWhy Does It Matter?\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tTrial Period\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t 6-Month Peace of Mind Trial for Residential & Commercial Use \r\n You’ll get a refund, less sales tax after 90 days and return processing fee. \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t6-Month Peace of Mind Trial for Residential & Commercial Use You’ll get a full refund, less sales tax after 90 days and return processing fee. | \r\n No Trial, 30-day or 60-day Depends on the Dealer \r\n Some brands don’t offer returns at all. Others limit trial windows to 30–60 days or leave the terms unclear. \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\tYou deserve clarity and confidence when buying equipment. With Cyclone Rake, you get a full 6 months to try it—with transparent terms and no surprises.. \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tDoes It Fold Flat?\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t YES! \r\n The collector folds down to just 8\" thick, and the rest of the Cyclone Rake is easily disassembled for storage. No tools needed! \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\tYES! The collector folds down to just 8\" thick, and the rest of the Cyclone Rake is easily disassembled for storage. No tools needed! | \r\n\t\t\t Partially or NO! \r\n Some companies build units that partially fold down. But none break into the individual component parts as easily or neatly as the Cyclone Rake. \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\tWe understand space can get tight sometimes. This is why we designed the Cyclone Rake so that every model can completely fold flat and disassemble in just a few minutes, with no tools required. You can even hang it right on the wall! \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tWarranty\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n \r\n\t\t\t Free 2-Year or 3-Year Residential Warranty \r\n Free 6-Month Commercial Warranty \r\n The length of the warranty will depend on the Cyclone Rake/engine model you choose.

\r\n\t\t\tHitch Type\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t Dual-Pin Hitch \r\n It won't ever \r\njackknife! \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\tSingle-Pin Hitch | \r\n\t\t\t Single-Pin Hitch | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t The Cyclone Rake's Dual Pin Hitch creates a rigid mount to the rear of your mower allowing us to use the shortest, straightest length of deck hose possible. This is extremely important when you're designing a leaf and lawn vacuum because it will all but eliminate the opportunity for the clogging you'll see in other leaf and lawn vacuum designs. \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tDoes the Deck Hose Have a Short & Straight Path?\r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t YES! \r\n\t\t\tThe straightest, shortest path for maximum efficiency. | \r\n\t\t\tYES! Innovative hose management for optimal efficiency. | \r\n\t\t\t NO! \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t|

A high-quality engine will provide you with a longer life span and rugged performance, so you never have to worry about overworking it. Use an engine with a name you can trust, rather than a generic engine with a label. A name you can trust like Briggs & Stratton comes with its reassurances. With the XR950-Pro you’re covered for 2 years, and with the Vanguard line, you’re covered for 3 years. Bumper-to-bumper. \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t

No Upgrade Available. | \r\n\t\t\tKeep in mind the relationship between the engine size, and impeller size is extremely important. A larger engine isn't going to provide you with more suction power unless the impeller size compliments it. We pair engine size, impeller size, and deck hose diameter to give you the optimum performance (and no painful and tedious impeller replacements.) \r\n\t\t\t | \r\n\t\t
