No special hitching mechanism is needed as the Model 682 attaches easily with a single hitch pin. With Trac Vac's quick connect discharge chutes to the mower deck, set up and storage are accomplished in short order. All steel construction on the frame provides rugged durability. Dual 44-gallon Rubbermaid containers can be removed easily for quick dumping anywhere: compost heap, pick-up truck, etc. and the containers are strong enough to handle the slam-banging handling of everyday use. The spring-loaded double molded top lifts out of the way easily and the louvered top assembly directs air flow away from the operator. The Model 682 has a capacity of 20 cubic feet (16 bushels) to cut back frequency of dumping and down time. It is the perfect combination of speed and efficiency. The Model 682 comes standard with a 6.5HP Champ engine powering the air turbine for maximum air flow and pickup efficiency of grass clippings, leaves and light litter. Optional engines include an electric start 6.5HP Champ engine too.
