I see an auction has a Troy bilt chipper vac (walk behind type)from 1992, model 47261. The pic looks like it is very clean. Said to "run" good. My question is, do these have enough suction to vacuum up thick thick leaves or are they from vacuuming lite dusting of leaves. I have a yard that gets completely covered in 10 inches of leaves and I wonder if this machine hase the ability to walk through them or would it end up just plowing them in front of it. Only obvious drawback is the 5hp Tecumseh motor.
