2026 DR Power Premier(Walk-Behind)

Our most basic walk-behind model, the PREMIER has the power and capacity to vacuum your lawn free of leaves, grass clippings, twigs, nuts and other yard lawn debris. Perfect for smaller properties and/or landscaped areas where you can’t take a larger machine. Easy to start, easy to use, and built to last!

Perfect for Smaller Properties or Landscaped Areas

If you don’t own a lawn tractor (required for our tow-behind models)—or if you need a vac for cleaning up landscaped areas where you can’t take your lawn tractor—consider our PREMIER walk-behind model. Powered by an easy starting 6.6 HP DR OHV engine, the PREMIER will gather up to 60 lbs. (6 cu. ft.) of leaves and other yard debris.

The steel impeller reduces materials making it ready for curbside pickup or the compost pile. The collection bag can be detached (no tools required) for carrying to a remote dumping spot, or it can be emptied while on the machine through the easy-access zipper openings.

Optional Vacuum Hose for Hard to Reach Areas

Add our optional vacuum hose for seven feet of extra reach into areas where you can’t roll the PREMIER—in garden beds, along foundations, in window wells, etc.

POWER ASSISTED DISCHARGE

ADJUSTABLE INTAKE HEIGHT

• From the operator’s position the collection snout can easily be adjusted from 1” off the ground (for maximum vacuum power) to a maximum of 5” (for less suction, or to create clearance for uneven terrain).

OPTIONAL VACUUM HOSE

• For hard to reach areas. The optional vac hose gives you seven feet of extra reach so you can clean out areas you can’t get to with the front collector snout—garden beds, along foundations, window wells, etc.
