Professional Power with 3-Point Hitch Stability and 44-Bushel Capacity
The Trac-Vac Model 858 is a heavy-duty, PTO-driven vacuum system designed for compact tractors. By utilizing the tractor’s existing power, it eliminates the need for an auxiliary engine while delivering massive suction performance. Mounted on the drawbar and supported by a 3-point hitch stabilizer, the 858 is the perfect solution for large-scale leaf and debris collection on estates, farms, and commercial properties.
Key Features
-
High-Performance PTO Drive: Engineered to run off a standard 540 RPM rear PTO. A specialized 2-to-1 gearbox and belt drive system amplify this to a turbine speed of approximately 3800 RPM for maximum vacuum pressure.
-
Large 44-Bushel Collection: Includes a heavy-duty 18-cubic-foot dump cart with a 20-gauge all-steel cover, providing a total collection volume of approximately 50 cubic feet (44 bushels).
-
Quiet & Efficient Turbine: Features a six-bladed forward-curve turbine that reduces noise to a pleasing 70-decibel level while mulching debris for superior compaction.
-
Clog-Resistant Design: Equipped with large 8-inch diameter intake and exhaust hoses, specifically recommended for mowers with deck sizes of 54" or larger. This larger diameter allows for the easy movement of wet leaves, grass clippings, and light litter.
-
3-Point Stabilizer System: Supported by a stabilizer arm on the 3-point hitch, which allows the tractor’s lift arms to remain free for raising and lowering the mower deck during operation.
-
Tapered Steel Dump Cart: The cart is tapered 4 inches from front to back, ensuring that debris falls out quickly and cleanly when dumping, with minimal risk of clogging.
-
Commercial-Grade Durability: The steel cart cover is powder-coated for long-term rust resistance. Landscapers can also opt for the Extreme Unit upgrade, which features a reinforced, heavier steel cart body for rigorous daily use.
-
USA Quality: Proudly made in the USA since 1955, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship and parts availability.
