Specialized Collection for Front-Mount Mowers
The Trac-Vac Model 865 is engineered exclusively for Front-Runner mowers, providing an efficient and powerful solution for picking up grass clippings, leaves, and light litter. By mounting the engine unit directly to the side and behind the operator, the 865 maintains a balanced profile while delivering the high-capacity performance needed for large estates and commercial properties.
Key Features
-
Front-Runner Specific Design: Specifically built for front-mount machines. The power unit attaches via a 2" Reese hitch type hookup, making it fast and easy to remove the vacuum from the tractor when not in use.
-
Champ FX230 Engine: Powered by a long-life 9HP Champ engine (FX230), providing a perfect balance of power and fuel efficiency for high-volume collection.
-
44-Bushel Capacity: Includes a heavy-duty Model 368 dump cart (18 cubic feet). With the custom steel cover, it expands to approximately 50 cubic feet (44 bushels) of total capacity.
-
Quiet & Efficient Mulching: Features a six-bladed forward-curve turbine that effectively reduces the volume of leaves and clippings for better compaction while keeping noise levels at a pleasing rating.
-
Rust-Free Steel Construction: The cart cover is made from 20-gauge powder-coated steel, ensuring long-term durability. It features a one-piece tailgate for simple, fast dumping.
-
Clog-Resistant Hoses: Equipped with 8-inch diameter intake and exhaust hoses to handle heavy debris with minimal risk of blockage.

Precision Fit: Includes a tractor-specific drawbar and engine mount, along with a fast-attaching discharge chute custom-fitted to your specific mower deck.
