The Mow and Vac, April 14, 2008
By Marsh811 from Folsom LA

"This is a good basic product and I recommend it. The Plus side: It does what is advertised. It will suck up leaves, pine needs, and small bits of wood chopped by the mower. The engine and trailer is about the right size, is pretty stable and will fill the wagon in about 1/8th or less on an acer, depending on the thickness of the debris on the gorund. You will know it is near full when it stops drawing the debris effectively. The cart will be nearly full. Assembly was not too difficult, but you had to procede carefully. The instructions were not too clear in certain spots, but by going slowly you will figure them out. The down side. The mower and hose are prone to clogging. This is mostly due to the introduction of larger sticks and debris whcih will hangup in the hose. These are easilly cleared. The other problem is you will not be able to clear the debris at a normal mowing pace. The input will be too great and will bog it down. I am interested in gathering the leaves and needles for mulch which is a good alternative to manufactured fertalizers. The trailer toung is very heavy , when fully assembled because of the power system on the toung. I recommend incorpoarting a swining wheeled support on the toung to ease hookup and tilt out of the way when vacuuming."

Agri-Fab Mow-N-Vac — 6.5 HP, Model# 50188, January 14, 2008
By wlress from Kings Mountain, NC

"Basically a Great Unit. Unit works well for a large 2 acre lot with a lot of trees. It took me approximated 14 loads to clean up the leaves. I decided not to use the latch to dump the loads. The angle is not sufficient to do much. However, you can use a steel rake to pull the mulch out of the unit. The only problem I saw was that
the motor that is mounted to the front moves a little from left to right and I noticed after a few hours that this was tearing the fabric hose that connects the container to the exhaust from the motor. I made a small bracket from a piece of flat iron and bolted from the motor housing to the side of the container and this stabilized any left to right motion. Worked very well. The only problem with this is you can not use the tilt empty container latch which I decided not to use anyway. I would buy this unit again."

agrifab lawn vac, October 30, 2007
By lawnslave from Saxonburg,Pa

"I bought my lawn vac from Northern tool and equipment about 9 years ago and it has been the best investment of my lifetime. I fill it completely full about 50 times each fall and it makes leaves look like mulch. Mine is a 8 HP with a chipper . I use the chipper shredder very little."

Decent Lawn Vac, November 7, 2006
By JackBauer24 from Chaska, MN

"I use this on 1.5 acres of land with large trees. May be a little small for the application. The hopper isn't that easy to dump, but probably wouldn't be that big of a deal if I didn't have such a big yard. It actually picked up a decent amount of the acorns, which is impressive."
