As we've discussed previously, I've got a Snapper Hi-vac Commercial - I cut with it in the rain the other day and it would clog up. I'm running a side discharge on it. It will mulch but I have to run the it slower. Mowed yesterday with it in dry conditions, it will haul arse if you can keep up with it. I love it, it's powerful, too. Hit some thicker grass with it, it will grunt a little and keep chugging. Kawasaki engine.

I've got an older consumer model I used to vac leaves with - it's the only vac mower (with a bagger) I've ever ran but it's the shite on leaves. ONe pass and it's clean as a whistle, only issue is the bag fills up really fast, and when that happens she turns into a leaf mulcher until I dump it.

I like doing that with my live oak leaves in March. I HATE raking. I don't mind having to stop often.

The two Snappers I've seen in stock locally have the Briggs & Stratton 850 Professional Series engine. Some here hate on B&S, but the last two I've had in Toro mowers have started fast and run fine. Issue seems to be power in the thick wet stuff. Of course, these were smaller engines.
