PREMIER 240
The PREMIER 240 holds up to 240 gallons of leaves, grass clippings, and other lawn debris. Its aggressive shredding action lets you work for long stretches without emptying the reservoir.
The powerful 6.6 HP (9.59 ft-lbs gross torque) OHV engine, in combination with the massive Shark-Teeth impeller, creates tremendous airflow that virtually eliminates clogs and leaves your lawn beautifully free of debris.
Collect, Shred and Dump!
Using the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum drastically reduces the volume of leaves and other materials it collects. It starts with your mower deck which provides lift to pull lawn debris up into the spinning blade. Then the partially mulched material is channeled into our Shark Teeth Steel impeller which further reduces it before passing it in to the collector.
It's not JUST for Leaves!
In spring the DR is great for cleaning up the wind- and storm-borne debris that collects on your lawn. During the summer, it makes a terrific high-capacity bagger that will leave your lawn spotless with very little extra effort on your part. And you can use the utility cart any time of year for hundreds of hauling jobs.
All Steel Impeller
More durable than the plastic impellers used on competitive products. So durable it is covered by a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
Accessories Add Versatility
The optional Vacuum Hose lets you get at yard waste in places you can't drive your mower. And the Mulch Discharger allows you to broadcast all that debris right where you want it. (Optional accessories).
Optimal 8" Hose
The 8" hoses are ideal for performance. Narrower hoses clog too frequently, and wider ones lose compression and suction power. Extensive testing determined that 8" is the optimal diameter.
Assembled in the USA
Assembled in the USA using foreign and domestic parts.
Modular Design
The collector top removes and folds up, and the engine rolls away on its own built-in trolley. The result: simple, space-efficient storage and year-round versatility.
Reduce a Mountain of Leaves
Our Shark-Teeth Impeller, in combination with the action of your lawn mowing blade, reduces your leaves to a fine mulch during collection. The result is rich, organic material that you can return to your garden or compost heap.
Utility Cart
With the upper collector and power unit detached, the cart bed makes a great all-purpose utility trailer. Pin hitch it to your riding mower (or ATV) and use it for all kinds of landscaping and hauling chores.The PREMIER 240 has a 500 pound capacity.
Electric Start Available
The PREMIER 240 is equipped with a high quality, easy-starting DR OHV engine. With 6.6 HP and 9.59 ft-lbs gross torque (per SAE J1940), it has the power you need to create a powerful suction force and propel the fully loaded vac.
Huge Capacity
The PREMIER 240 holds up to 32 cubic feet (240 gallons). The high-speed impeller reduces the volume of leaves to a fraction of their original bulk. So you'll be able to collect huge amounts of leaves and debris before you have to stop and unload..
Big Wheels Roll Easily!
14" diameter wheels are bigger than competitive products and create a smoother roll. You can convert to dual wheel setup with our Wheel Upgrade Kit.
Trailer Jack Stand
Heavy-duty Trailer Jack Stand, for moving the machine easily when not in use. Adapts to pin hitch heights of 8" to 15". Stand lifts out of the way during operation. 4" diameter wheel. (Optional accessory).
