SOUTH
BURLINGTON, Vt., Sept. 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DR Power Equipment, a Generac
Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC) company – and a prominent producer of
high-quality outdoor power equipment – today announced the launch
of the PILOT XT and PILOT XTSP (PILOT XT series) Leaf and Lawn Vac,
a unique leaf collection system. The PILOT XT series fills leaf
bags so that they are ready for curbside pickup or transport to a
compost pile.

The push- and self-propelled powered leaf collectors feature the
all new EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System™, which is designed for
use with standard disposable leaf bags holding 3 cubic feet or up
to 50 pounds of leaves. The EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System
consists of a fold-down platform for placement of an empty leaf
bag, a support ring to hold the top of the bag open and the EZ
Bagger hatch, which holds the bag securely in place and creates a
seal for the vacuum. Additionally, the PILOT XT models come with a
caddy that holds 10 additional empty leaf bags, and consumers have
the option of purchasing a second caddy to carry up to 20 bags at a
time.
The PILOT XT series joins a large portfolio of DR Power leaf
collection equipment, including seven lawnmower-connected
tow-behind units and three walk-behind models, two self-propelled
models and one push model. The PILOT XT and PILOT XTSP models are
the first in the DR Power family to provide on-board leaf bagging
using disposable leaf bags.
"The beauty of the bagging system is that the user spends a lot
less time going back and forth between the lawn and the dumping
spot," said Jeff Shafer, vice
president of merchandising at DR Power. "With the EZ Bagger System,
operators can just remove a full bag, put on an empty one and keep
going. Then, the operator can come back to gather all the bags when
the leaf collection is done."
The addition of the PILOT XT series powered leaf collectors is
aimed at addressing the needs of many – from suburbanites with
curbside collection service to rural users with the end goal of
composting, as standard leaf bags are fully compostable and do not
need to be emptied. The PILOT XT series is available direct on
www.drpower.com or through DR Power's network of independent
dealers. For more information, visit www.drpower.com or call
