Rigid-Mount Efficiency for Category 1 Tractors
The Trac-Vac Model 662 is a high-performance, rigid-mounted vacuum system specifically designed for tractors with a Category 1 3-point hitch. This model offers an intermediate collection capacity using a dual-container system, making it ideal for property owners who need a compact, maneuverable solution that doesn't require a towed cart. By mounting directly to the hitch, the 662 allows for a tight turning radius while maintaining superior suction power.
Key Features
-
Category 1 3-Point Mounting: Designed to mount securely to standard Category 1 hitches. It is supported by stabilizer arms, which keeps the tractor’s lift arms free to raise and lower the mower deck independently.
-
Dual 44-Gallon Containers: Features two heavy-duty Rubbermaid Brute containers, providing a total collection capacity of 20 cubic feet (16 bushels). These containers are lightweight and can be easily removed for quick dumping into compost piles or truck beds.
-
Powerful Champ FX200 Engine: Comes standard with a reliable Champ FX200 engine that powers the air turbine for maximum pickup efficiency of grass clippings, leaves, and light litter.
-
Clog-Resistant 8-Inch Intake: Equipped with a large 8-inch diameter intake hose, specifically recommended for mower decks of 54" or larger to ensure smooth material flow and minimal downtime.
-
Rugged Steel Construction: The frame is built with all-steel construction for long-term durability in demanding outdoor environments.
-
Operator-Friendly Design: Features a spring-loaded, double-molded top that lifts out of the way easily for container access. The top assemblies are louvered to direct dusty discharge air away from the operator.
-
Maneuverability: Because the unit is hitch-mounted rather than towed, it eliminates the "jackknife" risk associated with trailers, making it perfect for properties with many trees, flower beds, or tight corners.
-
American Quality: Proudly made in the USA since 1955.
