The earlier vacs were clunky. The recent units are lighter and do a much better job of sucking the leaves up. I use Sten lift blades and they do improve lift both to mow and to blow the grass/leaves into my bagger. Everything has to be dry for good bagging operation.

Thanks for posting the pictures. That vac impeller is a perfect example of the butt puckering I mentioned above. Not likely to grenade, but one of those vanes would slice and dice your liver just fine if it let loose.

Thanks
