Get More Done with Accessories
The Optional Vac Hose provides 20 feet of extra reach to clean up areas you can’t drive over. Use it to vacuum out flower beds, window wells, hedges, or any other remote areas. The Mulch Discharger lets you expel collected material and place it right where you want it—in a compost pile or into the woods. See all accessories here.
PRO XL330
The PRO XL330 vacuums more material before it needs to be unloaded. The collector box holds 37% more material than the smaller PREMIER 240 model, making it a great choice for larger properties or heavier cleanup tasks.
The powerful 11.7 HP (16.90 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 PRO XL330 has a 800 pound capacity.
Electric Start Available
The PRO XL330 is equipped with a high quality, easy-starting DR OHV engine. With 11.7 HP and 19.6 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 PRO XL330 holds up to 44 cubic feet (330 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).

This could be much better with some effort
I'm in my 4th season with the DR tow behind leaf vacuum. When it is working well, it makes short work of all the leaves, pine needles, and pine cones on my property. The problem is, DR used plastic to make parts that should be made out of steel. I have been through four of the plastic exit chutes due to holes being punched through the curved section by stones that get sucked up. To their credit, DR replaced all but the last one under warranty. I finally got so fed up with these chutes failing that I fabricated one out of 1/16" steel. The other item is the mower deck attachment. After going through two of these I finally ordered an adapter from Cub Cadet, who also makes my zero turn mower. No problems since. This season, I had to replace the canvas bag (?) because the seam in the back came undone and was blowing debris out of it. Lastly, the bed, which is made out of plastic, is cracking in multiple places where it bolts to the frame. Those areas need to be reinforced somehow. I will need to buy a new bed within a couple of seasons, I estimate. The money for replacement parts add up. The only things that haven't given me problems yet are the wheels/axle and engine (thank God). I am giving two stars instead of one because, like I said, when it is working well it is wonderful.
DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum PRO XL330
There are some serious flaws in this unit. I've had it for about 2 weeks and the tube going into the catcher is already cracking through and the hose has cracked in two places. Jury rigging it to reinforce the tube, taping the hose, using bungee cords to hold parts of it down. Other than that, it works GREAT. Great suction (which I think the company needs to address - the hose and chute aren't prepared for the force that comes through them). I own a golf course and it is keeping up with the leaves. I don't regret the purchase but hope the company can come up with other material options for the areas that are failing.
Poor design, could be improved
The positives are the engine is powerful and mulched leaves with ease. The negatives in my opinion out way that though. The material the hoses are made out of is very thin. The second time I used the machine the main hose tore and needs to be replaced. The design of the trailer frame feels cheaply made, the canvas spits out leaves constantly. If the canvas flaps were about a foot longer in the cart this might stop this problem. The rivet and hose clamp system to secure various hoses doesn’t secure the hoses well and causes them to slip off constantly. The extended hose is the same cheap material. The handle to the house is only held on by zip tie and seems cheap.
great machine but...
Purchased the Pro XL330 earlyer the year and just started using it. I pull it with a 19 HP Troy Built, 46 inch cut with high lift blades. It does a clean sweep just like the videos. Lately it has been very dry so it is very dusty using the leaf sucker. There is enough dust that it plugs up the top air outlet screen, there is enough air pressure to lift up the top and blow the leaves out of the trailer back on the ground as you go. You need to stop every so often and beat on the canvas and the dust will blow through, wear a mask when it's this dusty. The hose does break in sharp turns, just like the other reviews say, be ready with a new hose. Now the worst part, the wheels come with a grease zurk but the bearings are sealed on both sides, and the bearings are not lubricated. The 4th time I used the leaf sucker it started making noise. When I check out the noise the bearings were completely gone on two of the wheels and going bad on the other two. These are very cheap bearings. If your going to use the DR wheels take a pick and pop off the inside bearing seal so the grease can get to the bearing before installing the wheels.
A must for yard cleanup
This is my second lawn and leaf vac. I’ve first one lasted for more than 10 years and I could not have taken care of my yard without it. The new one is even better. More power and innovations. This is a great pice of yard equipment.
Q.Can this attach to kubota zd323
A.Thank you for your question. Since that is a zero turn mower it should be compatible. You will most likely need an extension hose kit. Please check the measurement specifications on the product page to be certain.

Q.Can you get the leaf vacuum already assembled?
A.Thank you for your question. No, we do not sell them as assembled.
