We have tons of leaves, tons of acorns, some pine cones, and of course plenty or twigs. A few years ago my neighbor's son had his buddy clean their yard with a small parking lot sweeper - that thing picked up *_everything_* and in record time. His lawn looked awesome afterward.
@4:23, take one hand and pull the horizontal bar toward the engine, then place the bag collar onto the mower, and the bag collar will slide down atop and depress the sensor button, release the horizontal bar. It is not difficult. This vacuum is made by MTD as well as are Club-cadets.
I've been eyeballing one of these at the big box store, and I'm so glad i stumbled onto this gem of a review. It's real nice like... and now i am convinced i need one! 😂
have a leaf vac also. Taking the bag off at the front turned out to be a hassle because the vac will not start unless the front gets connected absolutely perfectly. I therefore take the leaves out the rear of the collection bag.
Awesome video. Maybe you’ve figured the following out by now. Putting the bag on is actually very easy. I had to find out trial & error just like you. Here’s how ya do it: Pull the double latch back just like you do when removing the bag. Then put the bag on exactly reverse of how you took the bag off. With the “release” double latch pulled back with one hand, position the mount of the bag right above the discharge hole. Then slide the bag mount down over the discharge chute. This should put it flush or “joined” with the discharge hole. Release the “Release” double latch and you’re good to go! Hope this helps! 😊
You are a freaking maniac! I love it! Very underrated in the comments I must say. This is the best review of this form factor of lawn vacuum on the internet. Thanks for going over all of the functions and having an absolute blast while you did it!
Bought a Craftsmen model about 10 years ago. It came with a side discharge attachment to put on where the bag goes. Not only does it suck, suck, chip it blows too.
I’ve had one of these for many years. Just throw out the hose thing and use a powerful blower to pile up the leaves and suck them up with the big nozzle instead of the hose. This bag is terrible to remove and empty. It gets heave and plugged, so you have to lift and pull the leaves out, it’s exhausting.
This is why you don’t wait until all of the leaves fall to use a blower or a vacuum. You do this once a week or so like mowing in the fall. It’s much easier and more effective
@@UhBuddy1976 I had a large vacuum system years ago and wasn't a fan. I use my yard tractor and the baggin' system. That bag connection seems like a problem with my lower back.
I could see this as a good pick up for a guy who has a reel mower and needs something to help clean up debris and doesn’t have a rotary. However if you have a rotary mower and blower I think it’s probably a tool most people could pass on
HOLY CRAP!! That thing makes black gold of mulch material for gardens! Throw your grass clippings on top, mix a bit, layer it out, and by 3 or 4 months later you'll have some good garden filler material.
This is a neat machine -- But, as a landscaper. Definitely very light blowing can get the leaves out of gardens & trampoline, etc, without blowing out most mulch (if you are not pressing down trigger full throttle like a crazy person the whole time) -- Then, just mowing over with a push mower, or larger mower can shred & make most of the bulk leaves disappear with 1-2 passes. This machine is neat, but sort of unnecessary extra product. Neat features though. Thanks for the review. We need folks giving us up close analysis & demos for these products to help us narrow down what we could or should buy to help make our lives easier.
It's just best if you use the big part and add like a big sucker upper. Or you could either get rid of some of the the hose thing and just find a new like attach your sucker upper, and you can just attach it
I am 75 years old, and have used this same vacuum for several seasons now. No Problems At All. The bag is actually Super Easy to re-attach back onto the vacuum, and when attached correctly, the rubber covered safety switch will automatically be depressed. The Super Easy & Fast way to do it is ... first take a close look at the bag - vacuum interface. Look at the bag's plastic chute design and shape while also looking at the matching shape of the sheet metal interface shroud that surrounds the exhaust opening. This examination of the two mating parts takes a second or two or just ask any child that plays with Legos to help. I will assume that you are right-handed and that you are on the right side (facing forward) of the machine. Observe that the plastic chute will perfectly fit and slide vertically straight down over the matching shape of the sheet metal shroud of the exhaust outlet. 1) first, attach the bag to the top of the control handle using the plastic clamp 2) with your right hand, slide the spring loaded brass locking rail to the fully Unlocked position. While holding the lock rail Unlocked, 3) use your left hand, holding the pistol grip of the chute and carefully lower the aligned chute straight down to cover and seal the matching sheet metal interface of the exhaust outlet. Once the chute is seated squarely in place, the safety button (under the rubber protector) will automatically be depressed. 4) release the spring rail, attach the bag straps and you are done. With practice, this entire process takes 8-10 seconds.
I owned one. More of a headache than it's worth. Don't expect to do 10 yards a day with it. Although it'd be good for a tiny yard with very dry leaves.
A local equipment store was having a retirement liquidation auction of the Crary-Bearcat version of this machine. The only thing it didn't have compared to the Troy-Bilt was the little chipper. Granted, the Crary-Bearcat had three forward gears. I ended up passing on it since it went above how much I was willing to pay. Overall, I think the addition of the small chipper is a bonus compared to it just being a vacuum
I have the Craftsman version that somebody in my neighborhood just happened to throw out. Mine does have the shepherd and it is also self-propelled with the different speeds. All I needed was the carburetor cleaned.
Troy Bilt makes INCREDIBLE Equipment NONE BETTER Best bet for small engines you won't need to tinker with more and more as years go by. Stuff is built like a tank and always over powered. That chipper would be FANTASTIC to get rid of flower gardens end of year stems too. My acre of lawn comes with deep beds of flowers on all sides with wheel barrows of stems at end of year to cut and haul. I'd just chip them and dump the bag right there, putting it back as mulch. Stick and electric start on that and I'm sold (arthritis)
This looks like my yard. From fall to winter I spend 1-2 hours per day cleaning up leaves. 60% of leaves comes from the church trees next door. I eastimate I clean up at least 2+ million leaves each season. I don't complain to the church because having a church as neighbors is the best type of neighbor I could have. On the other side is city community garden. Far better than having low rent housing were people get drunk and have parties until 5am 7 days a week. :)
Wow This Is a Nifty Troy built Machine even I could use this Being in the deserts of Arizona For Leafs I like it wonder if it would pick up wet Pine Needles great video as always Clint Thanks for the video as well @Tool Review Zone
Does this chipper shredder vacuum start on the first pull every time? Other reviewers say it does not. Some other reviewers have also said the bag breaks down quickly. Did yours? I got the impression that your video is more a promotion video than a review.

@@socomon69I actually found one at the curb it's the same machine but with the Craftsman branding and mine has a speed adjustment for the self-propel.
Seems pretty weak same with the tests it was put threw in this video I do lawns for work an still have a lot of questions like if I’m in someone’s back yard and I leaf blow everything into one spot / one big pile will it be able to handle it or would I be better of hand bomb it cause time is a factor can’t dilly dally around for ever trying to suck leaves up
I’d get it Clint but it’s easier just to blow them in the neighbors yard😎. Pretty powerful to get all those leaves through that hose without clogging up. Oh that’s Nasssssss. Stay up brother 💯✊
I bought this machine. It was too slow, the chute would clog, and just not up to the task for a lot of leaves. I sold it on Craigslist after the first leaf season.
Im going to make a flipping automatic leaf raking system, or maybe at first just a pully thing i can pull, that just goes over your whole dang yard with forks and divides up as it encounters objects and trees. Ive got 4 giant oak trees and a cherry tree and so many leafs every year i hate it. Though i love the trees....and trampoline..nope i make the kids jump till all the leafs are off.oh and that little space underneath the trampoline...thats where the minions come in handy
The thing is if you have property surrounded by trees like I do. No good. You would be emptying the bag every 20 feet. My daughter thought that if she got the system for her ride John Deere lawn mower all her leaf problems would be solved - she only has 1 acre. The bags would fill up in no time rendering the whole process useless. The system was a $400 upgrade. So I had to assemble, disassemble & use my truck to return it. Consider how many bag loads are on your lawn - literally hundreds. Do you want to attach & re-attach the bag hundreds of times & lug it to dump wherever? At least with the ride on you are not lugging. You have to keep up with it. I just use the leaf blower & blow into the woods. Luckily my property so no neighbors bitching & use the ride on John Deere with regular lawn blades to chop up the residue (no switching to mulch blades BS)! Good for suburban living where you are in a subdivision with 1 or 2 trees on your property maybe. Not rural living surrounded by trees!
You can, but the bag fills very quickly because a lawnmower doesn't chop the leaves up as much. This cuts them down pretty small so they can pack tighter and don't take up too much volume.
@@ScottTooleyI find this machine is very useful On Pavement my neighbor has those pine trees that generate pine straw. Unfortunately the machine won't shred up pine straw but does good at picking it up.
You told us the positives and that is fine but to me the one big negative with these is you use them what a month maybe two out of twelve. The rest of the time they sit where in your garage or shed taking up space not to mention a gas engine needs maintenance. Unless you're doing yards for a living or have more money and space then you know what to do with they just aren't worth the trouble. More traditional methods are maybe a little less fun but in the long run a better option for most people.
I could say the same thing about a snowblower what time is what I have one even though we've had a very mild winter this year in Massachusetts. With is machines like this you don't necessarily have to spend top dollar you can go on Marketplace and get a good used one. I actually found my leaf vacuum in the trash needed minor maintenance. And I actually use my vacuum after trimming Hedges so I use mine for a little more than other people do. I also end up with a lot of small branches whenever we have high winds at various times of the year so the chipper used quite frequently.
Glad you are enjoying it. I was speaking about most people not all people. Comparing them to a snow blower is a stretch as you need your driveway cleared so you can go to work or school. Leaves really don't present a need it is more of a want as you want to keep your yard nice. Also how many people have you heard of having a heart attack raking leaves? @@robertknight4672
Love that machine! Only thing is I have sworn off all ICE equipment. I have a Stihl 20" battery mulcher mower that sucks up leaves in the fall great. I *could* use your machine for cleaning my window wells,as my plugin blower/vac has a straight 4' tube that is a PITA to maneuver in my window wells. My lawn takes an hour to cut,so that gives you an idea of how big it is. I have mature elms which dump a ton of leaves in the fall,and I take my mower out when they get an inch deep,which gives me some much needed exercise,lol!
Actually it is pretty awesome for cleaning up smaller areas and areas that it is hard to blow the leaves out of. The big lawn areas I use my 36" mower to mulch then run over the lawn again with the bag on
Do not buy the push version of this machine. I did. I regretted it every time I used it. Now I need a video on replacing the drive belt on this machine.
I don’t know if a battery unit would be powerful enough to spin the impeller at a high speed because the impeller is made of heavy steel and the gas engines on these are so powerful to be able to turn it that they go through fuel quickly
Yo Clint! EXCELLENT demonstration and video footage. The editing is 2nd to none. However (you KNEW that was coming) I have to pull the rug out from under this. 1. It's a Troy-Bilt brand. Meaning, it's a throw away brand. MIGHT get 3 seasons out of it. 2. The worst thing about Troy-Bilt (aside from their carburetors) is where the push handle meets the steel deck. Blah! 3. This is the MOST important. With that many leaves, one needs to make chainsaw grass. Go ahead, ask me what "chainsaw grass" is. NOT saw grass. CHAINsaw grass. Google doesn't have the answer. Only yours truly does. 😉
Raking looks more effective, and I really don't need a useless bulky, loud , machine taking up my space , its a largely plastic product, contrived obsolescence. Pushing that around is more work that blowing but looks to me about equal investment of time either way , I prefer to get some exercise that way, then spend my money or space on that bulky pos.
So Clint...I thought cleaning up leaves was one of the benefits of the super powerful Milwaukee mower. What happened with that??? Long term followup with these recommended products would make for good videos.
I don't have the Milwaukee, but I do have the top of the line (well, last year's) Ryobi, and it's been mulching leaves pretty well so far this year. Problem is that I might end up with too much mulch, so I'm still going to have to get rid of some leaves (but far fewer than last year).
We have tons of leaves, tons of acorns, some pine cones, and of course plenty or twigs. A few years ago my neighbor's son had his buddy clean their yard with a small parking lot sweeper - that thing picked up *_everything_* and in record time. His lawn looked awesome afterward.

Any jams thats BS I own one and it always gets clogged Pain in the ass
This machine sucks! It’s a total waste of money. I ended up giving mine to good will.
Wait….isn’t it suppose to suck lol
looks like more of a pain in the butt/back to me. eye wood rather just mow them up.
$1000! 😮
works like crap😅😅
this machine is fine if you want to make a career outta collecting leaves
Look at a Billy goat, much better vacuum, bagger.
Thank
Complete trash let's get real. That bag is full in 2 minutes and dumping it is a pain.
too tiny
Raking looks more effective, and I really don't need a useless bulky, loud , machine taking up my space , its a largely plastic product, contrived obsolescence. Pushing that around is more work that blowing but looks to me about equal investment of time either way , I prefer to get some exercise that way, then spend my money or space on that bulky pos.
trash😅
So Clint...I thought cleaning up leaves was one of the benefits of the super powerful Milwaukee mower. What happened with that??? Long term followup with these recommended products would make for good videos.
I don't have the Milwaukee, but I do have the top of the line (well, last year's) Ryobi, and it's been mulching leaves pretty well so far this year. Problem is that I might end up with too much mulch, so I'm still going to have to get rid of some leaves (but far fewer than last year).
Looks very weak with the vacuum hoes.
I don't like this, it made the man look like a lady.lols
