The model 4420 leaf & debris vacuum is powered by a 9 Honda gas engine that comes with a standard mulching kit. Designed to turn your lawn & garden tractor into a leaf eating machine with a nylon flail brush that feeds a 22 inch impeller to quickly clean your lawn without leaving a mark. The versatile nylon flails clears grass clippings, pine straw, and other debris from your well groomed lawn. 9 HP Honda gas engine Standard mulching kit Standard nylon flails Optional nylon brush head for grass clippings only 22 inch impeller Optional hydraulic unloading conveyor (requires 1 pair of hydraulic remotes)
They're between a grand and 2 grand depending on the model you buy. And... they pick up wet leaves, but not all of them. You'll have to make more than one pass.
I noticed they only show it working on mowed lawns and dry leaves and grasses. But will it work with wet leaves on acreage that has little to no vegetation other than the trees that are dropping the leaves?
if the leaves are water logged, only a rake and a shovel picks them up at the point of contact with the ground, if air flow can get under the leaves it picks them up. it's a vacuum, no air flow = no vacuum suction, that's what the nylon flail does is agitate but with out scarifying the ground it has limited ability.
I'll tell you the price tag for the 4200 eight grand, I purchased one around 2005 for a little over six thousand. I'm not here to advertise for it, but it does well for large properties with leaves small sticks, twigs and acorns. I wouldn't sell it, but I wouldn't buy another one because, they're over priced. Agrimetal made in Canada, the price is on line, if you care to look.
I've got it's big brother at my golf course. Awesome! Even picks up pine needles.
