B2650 3pt PTO driven leaf mulcher / vacuum

[BlackDog]

Has anyone used or have experience with a PTO driven leaf vacuum on their Kubota? I see lots of small engine driven models, but I like the thought of the 3pt hitch PTO idea like the Trac Vac Leaf Vac model 854 for my B2650. Any Pros/Cons?

I'd love to find one used - just the 3pt hitch PTO part, no need for the trailer - but have been looking for 2 years on FB Mkt and Craigs with no luck.

I have one complete with a ragged out ho-made trailer and vacuum hoses. Cheap!!!

Dan - Great to hear! Can you share any pictures? Is the PTO a branded model or something that you rigged together?

Its an old TracVac.

Apparently the original trailer died so Bubba built one to fit the hood and rear dump door. One of if not the worst welding/fabrication jobs you will ever see complete with two mismatched space saver spares for wheels.

PTO blower/grinder works fine and has a hitch ball for pulling the trailer. I have been toying with the idea of trying to pretty it up a bit.

Here is a picture of the current model - identical as far as I can tell.
