High-Efficiency Debris Collection for Category 1 3-Point Hitches
The Trac-Vac Model 856 is a heavy-duty, tractor-powered vacuum system specifically designed for compact tractors with a Category "1" 3-point hitch. By utilizing the tractor’s existing PTO power, the 856 delivers professional-grade suction without the need for a separate auxiliary engine. With its massive 44-bushel capacity and rugged steel construction, it is the perfect solution for large-scale grounds maintenance on estates, campuses, and commercial properties.
Key Features
-
PTO-Driven Power: Designed to operate on a PTO speed of 850 RPM. It features a 2-to-1 gearbox coupled with a belt-drive system, producing a powerful turbine speed of approximately 3800 RPM for maximum vacuum pressure.
-
Large 44-Bushel Capacity: The unit includes an 18-cubic-foot heavy-duty dump cart with a 20-gauge all-steel cover, providing a total collection volume of approximately 50 cubic feet (44 bushels).
-
Category 1 3-Point Mounting: Specifically engineered to mount on Category “1” 3-point hitches. It is supported by stabilizer arms that free up the tractor’s lift arms to raise and lower the mower deck independently.
-
Industrial-Grade Turbine: Features a six-bladed forward-curve turbine that mulches debris for better compaction while maintaining a quiet, operator-friendly noise level of approximately 70 decibels.
-
Clog-Resistant Design: Utilizes large 8-inch diameter intake and exhaust hoses, specifically recommended for mower decks of 54" or larger. This allows for the smooth movement of wet leaves, heavy grass, and light litter.
-
Tapered Steel Dump Cart: The cart is tapered four inches from front to back, ensuring that collected material slides out effortlessly during dumping with minimal clogging.
-
Extreme Durability: The all-steel cart cover is powder-coated for long-term rust resistance. For the most demanding environments, an Extreme Cart upgrade is available with a reinforced, heavier steel body.
-
American Quality: Proudly made in the USA since 1955, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and reliable replacement parts.
