Ahhh, I never noticed that. The DR unit seems to have more of a solid construction versus the fabric and I am guessing that keeps the dust down to a minimum?

Next to no dust, I have seen the cyclone rake in operation personally and for the clients we look after, they would freak at the dust. With the Dr. Unit there isn't any at all.

Sounds like my Craftsman push mower. The bag throws so much dust that I started to spray it with the garden hose before mowing my lawn just to keep the dust to a minimum.

I would figure that dust would have to go somewhere regardless of if the sides were fabric or a more solid surface.

All those leaf and grass particles are being forced into there, there has to be some kind of vent I would think on the Dr. Unit.

How does it let out that higher pressure air without expelling the dust?

I would honestly have to fire one up and figure out where the air exhausts but I know it has never been an issue and we did a lot of lawns last year with them. The only time I have seen any dust is when they are full so we learned to time it so that we dump when they are 3/4 full, worked great.

I doubt any companies will be doing leaf collection here this year, we have had 212mm rain in the past 9 days, that is close to 9" of water, I can't believe even my own property.

I read this evening the power company may loose a dam due to such excessive water and they have cleared a town as it can't even handle the overflow, it's pretty crazy.

Thanks, I am fine where I live as I am on higher ground and have good drainage.

Pulling the Dr. Unit around is an amazing selling tool in itself, I have the back of our's lettered with contact info, we were receiving up to 5 calls a day when pulling them last year from people following one of the trailers oulling a unit.

They work really good, hearing protection is a much IMHO, lot's of noises going on from it's exposed motor to the mulching.

That is a great idea. I don't think you ever posted a photo of it all lettered up. I bet it looks great!
