Lawn Vacuums
Executive Summary by Jim Kesel
Lawn Vacuums are specialized yard maintenance equipment. They are designed specifically to remove
leaves and litter from yards and lawns. Many riding lawn mowers can be converted to work as lawn vacuums. Lawn vacuums in conjunction with a lawn mower will facilitate this effort by chopping the mulch material as it is picked up thereby accelerating the mulch processes.
Lawn vacuums basically come in different forms. The most common lawn vacuums are built as a trailer that is pulled behind a lawn tractor. As the lawn tractor cuts the lawn or leaves up they are blown back to the vacuums blower then into the lawn vacuums trailer.
Lawn vacuums models also include walk behind models that have a suction chute located at the front of it. Most lawn vacuums are designed to automatically deposit yard debris into paper or plastic bags for easy curbside pickup. Many newly designed walk behind lawn vacuums neatly fold up for storage after use.
Types of Lawn Vacuums
Executive Summary By Rob Akerost
If you have a large lawn, or even a small yard and hate raking leaves, sticks and other debris, then maybe you should think about a yard vacuum. There's basically three different types of lawn or yard vacuums; carry, push, or tow. The price range increases respectively with the carry models being the cheapest.
The carry types of vacuums are basically leaf blowers that, besides blowing, can vacuum or suck up leaves into some type of attachment such as a canvas bag. Most push type vacuums look basically just like a big push lawn mower with a scoop or hood that acts as a vacuum nozzle. What's really nice about stepping up to one of these models is the bags are larger, thus hold more leaves. Plus, you get the added features that comes with larger gas motors such as (possible) chipper shredder and expansion hose or attachments that allows you to get to hard to reach places. The push vacuums get a little more expensive and run on average over $500.
