2027 DR Equipment PILOT XT (Direct Bagging) 

2027 DR Equipment PILOT XT (Direct Bagging)

The PILOT XT uses DR’s unique EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System to fill standard, disposable leaf bags so they are ready for curbside pickup (or transport to the compost pile). The onboard caddy lets you carry extra bags for replacing as you go.

Unique Direct Bagging System!
The DR PILOT XT Leaf and Lawn Vac is a powered leaf collector designed to work with standard, disposable leaf bags. You can collect up to 50 pounds of mulched leaves in a single bag and, when it's full, it’s ready for curbside pickup or the compost pile.

The DR's unique EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System makes operation easy. Just unlatch the EZ Bagger's cover, place an empty bag on the fold-down platform, crimp the bag around the support ring, and latch the EZ Bagger shut. It’s a simple, fast, and labor-saving alternative to the drudgery of raking and bagging by hand.

The included paper bag caddie carries 10 leaf bags, and you can add an optional second carrier to tote as many as 20 empty bags.

Features May Include: 

• EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System
  • A uniquely designed system that lets you fill standard leaf bags so they are ready for curbside pickup or the compost heap. The platform holds the bag, the support ring provides a crimp bar for quick installation and the latch keeps it secure.
• Ready for Pickup!
  • When the bag is filled, you simply open the cover, remove the bag, and crimp it closed. It’s ready for the curbside (or the compost pile).
• EZ-Bagger Support Ring
  • Crimp the paper bag around the support ring and close the cover. The cover is fitted with a channel that will hold the bag firmly in place and create a seal to maximize airflow.
• 3-in-1 Action
  • Leaves are drawn in through the adjustable intake and fed into the impeller which mulches the leaves before whisking them into the leaf bag.

• Adjustable Intake
  • Adjust the intake from 1" to 4". Keep setting high in very dry conditions with short grass or dial it down in wet conditions or when collecting leaves on longer grass.
• All Steel Impeller

• Optional Hose Kit
  • Use the optional hose kit to reach up to 7 feet away from the machine and clean up spots you can’t reach otherwise. Great for window wells, along foundations, beneath shrubs, etc.
