The DR PILOT XTSP Self-Propelled Leaf and Lawn Vac is a powered leaf collection system designed to make seasonal yard cleanup faster, easier, and less labor-intensive. Instead of raking leaves into piles and repeatedly handling loose debris, the PILOT XTSP collects, mulches, and bags leaves directly into standard disposable paper leaf bags.

Its unique EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System makes bag changes quick and straightforward, while the integrated bag caddie keeps additional empty bags conveniently onboard. With a 4.3 HP (173cc) DR OHV engine, self-propelled operation, a 3-cubic-foot collection capacity, and an onboard chipper capable of processing branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter, the PILOT XTSP is designed to handle a wide range of residential lawn and property cleanup tasks.
