2027 DR Equipment PRO SP (Self-Propelled & Electric-Start) 

The top-of-the-line PRO SP model offers the ultimate in self-propelled lawn cleanup. Designed to be a nimble machine for landscaped areas where you can’t take a larger machine, it has the best combination of power and collection capacity available. And the onboard chipper lets you dispose of 2” branches on the go.

Self-Propelled for Easy Operation
Our PRO SP model steps up from our entry model by adding:

• Self-Propulsion (with three forward speeds and one reverse)
• 33% more collection capacity (8 cubic feet)
• Onboard chipper that lets you dispose of branches up to two inches in diameter as you work your way around the yard

We also include bigger front tires (14”) and a flexible skirt on the intake snout that will ride over roots, rocks and other irregularities on your yard without jolting the machine to a stop—so you can keep the intake close to the ground (maximizing suction power) and work with fewer interruptions.

The transmission uses our EZ-Turn™ steering technology so you don’t ever have to wrestle with the machine. The PRO SP is powerful, easy to use, and has the highest collection capacity of any walk-behind vacuum available!

Optional Vacuum Hose for Hard to Reach Areas
Add our optional vacuum hose for seven feet of extra reach into areas where you can’t roll the PRO SP Leaf Vac—garden beds, along foundations, window wells, etc.
